Looking much more compact in your swing now AB ….......

Your backswing is rotating (not swaying), and you are keeping the weight on the inside of the feet …......... well done.

As Kiwi suggested though, you need to shift your weight to the front foot as you come down thru impact more.

If you pause your last video at impact position …........ have a look at your stance to see where your weight is …...... it’s pretty much centred. Ideally (IMO) more weight should be across towards the target side, so that you are hitting down and thru against a “bracing left side”.

I think though, that we can all see the work that you have done on your swing of late ........ and it is going to pay off on course. well done.

ab
i like it,
wouldnt go to far back,
i like the tempo and the finish too,
remember swing the club NOT hit the ball

have a look just after impact,
still scooping a bit,
the more weight you get on the left side will ellimenate that

with the grip i thought it was base ball but couldnt see,
not a real fan as i like the hands to be one not separate.

whose the little tacker in the pen?

Try a 3/4 swing and keep the ball in play. As b4 use the handicap it’s there to assist you, any time you score under your hcp thats a bonus. If you blow out on a hole, leave it behind and go to the next tee with a smile in your head if not on your face, breathe deep and often. RELAX. go get em AB.

much much better AB

Sounds like a good plan mate. Stick to it and you will be the winner no matter what your score.

Look forward to hearing how you go.

Topic: Allegingbows Journey

No expert mate but you sure look a lot more controlled with that swing!

Don’t try and fix it all at once, just work on getting one thing right at a time and be prepared for some not so good rounds but look at the light at the end of the tunnel.

If you finish the round and you have been able to achieve your goal, (could be using a correct grip) then you have succeeded no matter what the score is, I say this because this is how I have been working with my Pro. Fix one thing at a time and be prepared…

We actually started with the grip and moved on from there..

Topic: Allegingbows Journey

Mate, just don’t forget to hit the ball.
Try and make it natural remember the KIS principal. free your mind and swing.
B4 you hit the ball have a practice swing and feel the tempo..smooth.

After youv’e hit it regardless of the outcome SMILE and stay relaxed.

Best piece of advice given to me was “play to your handicap.”

If your of 18+ then every hole is 1 stroke more than the card, therefor a par 4 is a par 5. Keep that extra stroke as a saver,Don’t try and hit the green with your 2nd shot, take 2 clubs less and lay up,
Use your next shot which should be within 20m of the green and chip it in close, if you make the putt you just scored a birdie if not you still have a putt left for par.

That’s good. Bad enough losing the ball without losing a shot as well!

What’s the ruling when you know a bird has taken your ball? Is it still a penalty?

Mmmmm….not happy Jan!!! It would appear, after almost 2 weeks with NO physical output at all (aside from the usual push-ups, situps and dumbell curls), that I have gained almost 2 kgs!!! I can’t believe it. Well, looks like I’ll need to pull my finger out real soon….wish me luck!!!

Too true Node – they always go straight as a die when you are allowing for them to bend!

I think your strategy is more reliable AB! Short rather than bent around.

Topic: Allegingbows Journey

You aim for bunkers to avoid trouble?!? Hmmmm…..

My wife says that everything I’m interested in starts with G: God Golf Girls. She has a point!

Yeah but it’s suppose to fade or Draw off that line… bloody balls always go straight when I don’t want them too!

You aim for bunkers to avoid trouble?!? Hmmmm…..

Topic: Allegingbows Journey

I know this sounds stupid but I also aim for a couple of fairway bunkers to keep away from trouble and more often than not I end up in them hahahaha…

Might have to review those targets…....

Just started watching these Course Management video’s and they seem ok you may want to have a sticky….

AB I use the extensor (?) method to keep my left elbow straight (not locked). IE: I use my right hand on the club to wrap around the thumb of my left hand and pull it down so my left arm is still subtle but straight.

If that makes sense, it works well for me as long as I pull down not out toward the ball when I pull out I get shanks ugggg gotta remember that on course …..

Topic: Allegingbows Journey

Hey AB I presume that is you in the Vid!!!!!

Have a look how bent your left elbow is when you play that shot off the wall!

Topic: 2011 ISG Weight Loss Challenge

Thanks Smergen just super determination has gotten me to this point and will get further I have had a couple of weeks where nothing was lost but just kept pushing through that and the weight just started coming off again .

Topic: 2011 ISG Weight Loss Challenge
