Well, it was beautiful outside. Cold and breezy as the front came in and then it started to SNOW. I played well and I noticed that with an open stance, Hula left, and FBRW (Frozen Bent Right Wrist) my balance is much better, direction and power are better, and I actually started feeling the center of my driver compress the ball. ( I recall Kevin and Jerry pointing out to me the benefits of an open stance and forward ball position )

Our group was thrown together, with two women. One girl, a competitive snowboarder stood to the ball in a snowboarding stance. Her boyfriend, an NBA sized -power-forward type, swung hard. Both flipped at the bottom. My partner for the day was an avid bow hunter. She confessed that she had won seven Florida state archery titles but was a terrible golfer.

When I explained to all of them the importance of the FBRW, after I teed off on the first hole (260 with a slight draw leaving 100 yards to the pin) and after they asked, was the importance of the FBRW. The archer got it right away saying "Oh, you mean the right hand is like a clamp, like an archer's clamp?" The snowboarder, big guy, and the archer simply swung their clamps! The girls were quite delighted hitting the ball much straighter and further with drives to chips. The 6-5" /230 lb. muscular young man, started hitting a straight ball and not his slice.

We used my ball for 4 drives. The young man was outdriving me by 40 yards or so , regularly. We only used two of his drives since he parked several 8 irons over the greens on par 3's or pushed or pulled his drive out of play. And the girls,out drove us both on 4 holes! Spinning rotors! Snowboarding stance, archery grip, sound familiar?

It started to sleet on hole 6 and it was pouring on hole 8. We stopped at nine.

Quite fun! Happy Thanksgiving!
