Craig, I played today and shot 85 (41/44) started well with 3 straight pars.

Hi Craig, I played today and shot 85 (41/44) started well with 3 straight pars and left a couple of makeable birdie putts short. Was hitting decent drives, good mid and short irons and putting well. About the 4th hole I started pulling mid and short irons so was scrambling. In a lot of bunkers and then had a few skulls and chunks. Not a horrible round, but feel like I should have been in the high 70's at most. Felt a little lost on the back nine when I had an iron or fairway wood in my hand. Skulled a few FW woods also. I had no huge blowup holes. 3 doubles, but turned a lot of good par or birdie opps into bogies or doubles with bad approaches from 180 in on many holes. I am not sure where the good swing on the first few holes and the last couple of rounds went. I am thinking the trail arm/shoulder started taking over. Kind of late to do some video reviews, but does that sound right to you?

Hello Larry. That does sound like it may have been the culprit. Two items of note with your movement. The trail takeover causse the angle to get thrown too soon (trail arm space between the side) and then you save by spinning lead shoulder out of the shot. Gotta get rid of the blow up holes! If you take your time and allow the arms/club to work into the GDP position so you can release the club with the shoulders staying in the shot. Should eliminate the skulled and inconsistent longer clubs. Just sounds spinny and bailing.
