TIM28 Jul 12 2008 21:45 27 posts Member since 2008	I have been working on keeping my right elbow as close as I can to my body to promote a more compact swing. (I am a right handed golfer) It is working I reckon but it will take many more balls until it is my friend. I have also found that doing this and getting some more shoulder turn in my swing works wonders. I reckon I am close to going to the dark side and finding out how to play even better? Who knows

Reverse every natural instinct you have and do just the opposite of what you are inclined to do and you will probably come very close to having a perfect golf swing. - BEN HOGAN, POWER GOLF
