So I went back to my first TGM, RFFW, frozen, locked in.

I added EA below plain and bent the elbow. The funny thing is that EA below plain bend s the elbow and unbends the elbow.

Here's the amazing thing. Unbending the elbow produces pro trajectory and straight while I'm leaning on the left side. A hip bump sends it further and I can get the same distance and straightness and trajectory by rolling the shoulder up and staying on my left side.

I parred the first two holes and I was long with my short irons, 145 yards with my 9 iron. Driver was long and straight on the third hole and then....

I had driven to an uphill position and I stopped leaning because of the hill! I fought the short iron hooks the rest of the day! Chips and putts got me only four more pars...44/45 for an 89. By failing to lean to my left my ball placement was too far forward and my shoulder came around the hip.

To survive the round, I gave up shaft lean with the short irons which defeated the hooks but took out the trajectory and the sharpness of direction. It is amazing how important the down portion of the strike is because of the forward lean and the clearing of the down hip!!!!

The EA applied to chips and putts with the line in the hole is incredibly accurate and trustworthy relating to the BLP!

Thanks guys!

OK, shifting left or simply staying on my left or forward leg allows the right shoulder to come straight down. Coming straight down allows me to hit stright down on the ball and shoot at the middle of the greens without fear of hooking.

I have two problems, at least. When I am standing to a shot that is uphill, I forget to lean and get my hip out of my way. I also forget to keep my RFFW intact.

I practiced the hip shift and shoulder down move with RFFW intact a little too much, about 500 balls worth, yesterday. I was 8 over for 12 holes until the back spasms hit producing a disaster. Instead of finishing well, I had to get help to get back in the cart on the last two holes and somehow shot a "91."

The Minnesota Fund was increased, however by $7. Our total is now at $55!
