Thanks Patrick. I have all the videos and have been watching many times. The trouble is usually you think you understand and did it but not. I will look at the holies things again.

Hi Daryti. I went to the range early today determined to reproduce the "Holies and Polies" drill. I hit about 100 balls with various clubs and the hits were very solid. I also learned that I could come down very smoothly on my front foot, keep my balance, and strike the ball powerfully and with good control.

I started the drill by bending my right wrist back like an American football player uses a "straight arm" to hold off a tackler. That made the Right Forearm Takeaway go to my shoulder as my Top. I then tried to hold the wrist solidly and let my Pivot take me through the shot.

I missed 4 birdy putts to shoot a 41 (5 0ver) on my front 9 and then had my favorite putter fall apart. My mistakes were turning birdy chances into bogies though, and wound up with a 45 (11 over) for an 86. My hcp. index is 15. My ball striking was very good but my putting was pretty bad.

The right arm drill was very helpful. Keep us posted on your results and with your questions. Good luck!

Patrick
