The last couple weeks have seen my growth in a couple of important areas in my game and most rounds now find me stringing together 4-5 pars a side and experiencing only one triple or two double per nine holes. Lately though, I am eliminating those bigger numbers.

What I am doing well- I have started to "hit" chips and pitches with my RFT and then right forearm thrust and the results have been several sand saves ( pays 1$ on the Monday game ) and excellent 60 degree pitches and chips within 3-4 feet of the pin. This has really helped my score.

I also discovered old Moe Norman "Natural Golf" instructions where MOe's action looks very much like Paul Bertholy's "Magic Move, Lynn and Ben Doyle's "dragging the wet mop" move! I RFT then "keep my mind in my hands as I cover my front foot with both arms straight HOWEVER I LET THE PIVOT CARRY THE BACK ELBOW PAST THE BALL UNTIL THE PIVOT SNAPS THE CLUB DOWN! I realize Moe says different things but his RFT and power package with right elbow low are my moves after Impact Fix!

THE PIVOT PROPELS BOTH ARMS TO A STRAIGHT POSITION AT THE FRONT INSTEP (INNER CIRCLE TURNS OUTER CIRCLE)!!

I really concentrate in firing my bent right wrist to my front instep in a "downhill" short punch! I do it for all shots hitting the inner quadrant and my friends have noticed how much more solidly I am striking the ball! It almost feels like it is all right arm thrust except the left foot "plants" and then I fire the power package down at an angle !

This Martin Chuck video of "Tour Striker " fame (thanks Gerry and Kevin) really helps me.

What I am doing poorly- I need to shoot over trouble on a green or away from it. I have not improved to the point yet where I can pick a target out on a green and should just shoot to the middle! I NEED TO ALWAYS HIT THE INNER QUADRANT OF THE BALL! I also need either extensor action or pushing the left arm into RFT.

Though shooting an 86, I realized the importance of a well-assembled power package. That was the problem, actually, I gained almost two clubs today!

What I did well-I don't know about you but having my hands and arms completely still with my right elbow coiled against my side (no rft today just a belly button shift right), allowed me to feel all sorts of ball crushing power being released as my Pivot carried my back elbow as far forward and as fast as possible. On a 530 yard par 5, my second shot was 210 yards away which I put on the green with my 2 hybrid about 30 yards away from the front pin. I made the par. I was sort of in shock.

What I did poorly- I necked 3 chips and left a lot of putts short. I'm not sure why I hosed the chips!
