THE golf swing.
Geez...thats what I get for doing 12 things at once on this stupid thing
Im always on the quest to simplify the golf swing so Im not overloading my brain and cheesing off a shot because I cant see thru all the smoke pouring from my ears.
A couple days ago Im into Nicklaus' book "My Golden Lessons".
On page 69 there is a bit about "Pull the club head through".
Pretty simplistic so I give that a try yesterday....just thinking about winding up and on the downswing "pulling" the club through the ball and beyond.
After a swing and a grip adjustment shots were flying really nice without any real thought about the golf swing. Almost like point and click.
Went over for 9 holes today at a harder course to change things up a bit and was really happy with the outcome. This is a harder course for me and even with getting into 4 bunkers and chubbing off two tee shots I still ended up walking off with a 45 for 9 which made me happy given that these greens are much harder than my home course.
I wasnt even really trying to score so much as just trying to get used to quit thinking so much and just try to pull the club thru the ball and followthru and managed to get a score at least as good as my average days on my easier home course.
Hoping by the end of this season to have 'my swing' so I can start enjoying the game EVERY time instead of perpetually 'working' on some MAJOR swing issue every stinking time Im on the course.
It'd be nice to just go and play a round at some point and not have to say "Im working on........(fill in the blank):"
