Yes, amazing. 3 hours with me 9 -12 and then a new student 12 - 4 without any breaks and I wouldn't be surprised if he kept it going after that as well.

I'm sure he did!
 

Air, when you post, can you indicate if you have tried or are using a technique? I would find that very interesting to hear your processing or learning the techniques and how you react to their expression. is the information clear to you? Why or why not? :read:

I not sure it will be of much interest to you or anybody else, but what Yoda is trying to teach me is a freewheeling armswing to get me from stop using my right shoulder in a roundhousing OTT fashion. An over 20 years old habit is hard to get rid of. Allthough I have made a lot of progress and am normally hitting the ball much better than before I arrived the first time, I seem unable to absorb and apply the things he's doing to stop this main issue I have. And I can't explain this with all the TGM stuff that is involved. But there some Hula- hula, sequencing, plane, wrist action and finish swivel problems in all of this ( and stuff I already have forgotten or not understood properly), so there you have it for all it's worth...

There's nothing wrong with the information I get. My understanding is not so much the problem either - but just stop doing what I'm doing!!

Very interesting (said like Colonel Klink in the old Hogan's Heros)
 

So he wants you to let the Golfer's Flail do it's job and stop fighting the path the club head wants to take while Swinging! By using the Hula you are letting your bio-mechanical machine drag the club to the top and then get it's back hip out of the way so the Flail can stay on Plane as it goes "DOWN, out, and forward!" :)

Seems very logical to me! Ask Lynn questions. He has mad skills! :laughing9

ICT

That's right. I tried his wooden flail. It worked out ok, but put a golfclub in my hand....

I guess this also is related to wanting to achieve a CF throwout and avoid the dreaded throwaway?

Yeppers!
 

Air, the grip is crucial make sure you understand the short thumb slightly strongish grip. With it, the irons bite and the the woods compress! Without it there are bad alignments all over the place! :naughty:

Remember, your body is a well-engineered golfing machine. Your body is logical and fluid and golf clubs are based on that fluidity. :golf:

Golf is a strange game
 

The longest walk: from the range to the course.

All in all the shots on Yoda's driving range (the bay) have gone fairly well. But today it was taken to the course and contrary to two days ago, I had a bad start (hole 10). Barely made it over the water but in the thick stuff. And it continued poorly for a couple of holes. All my bad habits reappeared and there were OTT, throwaways, pivot controlled hand and jerky, mighty heaves at the ball. How did I feel? Guess. But eventually it got somewhat better and more enjoyable, but you better have a good start at the first hole - or else..!

One note though. I had 3 attempts on the 10th tee. On the second, the ball rolled off the peg as I was making my downswing and I somehow managed to hit the ball off the deck and got the ball over the water in the thick stuff where the first ball landed. That shot could have saved the day! (But didn't).

Air Airsen -- A Nordic Journey In Golf
 

You are the best, Air. Really enjoyed our time together.

In the teaching bay.

On the course.

And in our last day 'crash' classroom.

I'll put photos up soon.

Thank you so much again for coming (your third time!). I know it's basically a day to get here (23 hours) and a day to get back. Nobody appreciates that commitment more than me. You came this time with a swing far more efficient than that I saw the first time 'round. We built on that the first few days you were here.

Then, after a shaky start on our final nine-hole'play' day, you dug deep and played the final five, very challenging holes at Cuscowilla in just three over. Your drives found the fairways, and your pitching, chipping, and putting filled the gaps. Can't tell you how proud I was of that performance.

We've more work to do to consistently shoot in the 80s, but you're a long way down the road from the guy I first saw who sliced so badly the golf ball literally moved 90 degrees sideways after landing. Can't wait to hear from you when the Nordic golf season begins!

:salut:

Very nice.
Looking forward to it. :salut:

Paul Runyan's Softest Pitch Shot
 

Paul Runyan, 2011 Inductee
 

Note to myself
 

Played 4 rounds on a par 27, 9 holes with only par threes from 70 to 175 yards. With 3 teeshots on each hole, I hit all in all 100 teeshots and made 3,7 score in average. I had about 30 % GIR, so there was a lot of chipping. Not too bad, but it could always have been better, but nevertheless a lot of practice during 4 and a half hours in nice weather.

Tiger is back!?
 

Tiger - once more a winner. Nobody put pressure on him the last day, but a win is a win. I don't think Tiger will dominate like he used to, but he will probably win again - and he may have more majors under his belt - and may even break Niklaus' records after all..?

Very cool Air!
 

I use that putt/chip stroke a lot but forgot the lower lofts and letting them run on the green! :golfcart2:

I believe we have gone in the same school - with the same teacher..

Set back
 

After having wonderful weather in March and the opening of the course March 31, winter came back. I got 2 rounds in with a strong wind and then the temperature dropped to 25 degrees at night and closing of the course again. In addition I have had a bad cold the last week. The worst cold weather is over now, but 35-40 degrees and rain isn't ideal. First I have to get rid of the my cold and then we can hopefully start again...

Just one thought: I had a lot of decent hits. One feel that seemed to help was to see (in my mind's eye while actually doing it) the LW uncocking flail/thow out/karate chop coming from the inside down to impact (together with the LH roll). I guess this helped me get the delivery line on the correct path (from the inside - to avoid the dreaded out-to-in OTT move).
Does this sound right?

The Runyan method for chipping is not popular , not seen on tv very often , kind of ugly but that aside ............Lynn can prove to you that its more effective than your usual , standard chipping procedure. Prove it statistically with your own results. Immediately. Despite how awkward it feels.

I have no problems with using the Runyan chipping method since I'm already putting that way. It's just a question of habbit.

If you could comment this as well, I would appreciate it:

That sounds good to me, Air. What does the ball flight say?

Endelig
 

Straightish. Not much fade. Some pushes if I'm not rolling the hands enough / in time. The best ones are baby draws. More compression and longer. It's a good feeling (compared with the way I used to do it).

Left arm dominant?
 

I guess it makes sense that swingers who in the downstroke pull the arms/hands thru impact, concentrate more on the left arm/LW. It seems easier to come from the inside when focusing on what the left arm/hand does than the right - to avoid roundhousing ?
