So, why does Yoda and others hit when even a novice like me can shoot close to par swinging?

Doesn't the simplicity of the swing argue for its ability to stand up to pressure?

When I try to hit, if I brace or plant on my front leg, that motion alone rips me through the impact and up. I am tempted to try coming back with my RFT and simply drive my right elbow down and through to try to hit because it calls for only one trigger.

I am happy about the 84, the 17.1 new HCP index, and wondering how good I could be and how to do it!

Hi Patrick,

The more I hang out here, the more I realize the lines between hitting and swinging are blurry. Heck, in that great video of YODA teaching Brian Gay, he speaks of Brian being a swinger, and not caring much for hitting. Fast forward a couple of years and Brian is a HITTER, and our model. Many others speak of hitting sometimes, and swinging others. The brilliance of TGM and how it is interpreted at LBG, OPTIONS!

Keep working those Imperatives and Essentials while keeping those beautiful Flying Wedges in alignment and the rest is just for fun.

Just my opinion my friend.

Kevin
