Hi Craig
I’ve had a couple of weeks away on holiday do I was pleased to find that my single trail arm swings are still getting more snappy during warm up. When I played this week it was definitely better at the start straight after some warm up drills but swing can
go off a little mid round.
I’ve always struggled with weight shift back to lead side and the staggered stance helped with weight shift in May (as it involves less rotation).
In normal stance the cue I’m using now to help, is to start rotating my hips back towards square as the head of the club starts heading towards the lead side as it approaches top of swing. Is this OK?
I’m certainly hitting my irons better, driver is still rather unreliable but good when it works. 5W unchanged but OK.
Anyway hole of the day yesterday was hole 3 (a hazardous dogleg Par 4). I did a long
straight drive, then decided to go for the
green with my 7 iron without laying up. Ball ended up off the back of the green!
If I can make this type of play reliable it will be a game changer for me, it’s just a bit
more distance, but the strike and
directional control really make a big difference!
Overall yesterday I was having to club down with my irons as ball was going too
long - a ‘happy problem’ to have :laugh:
