Feet outside shoulders/ball starts from front shoulder!

Level left wrist right elbow on plane/full shoulder turn/pivot and drive #3 pp with shoulder.

Note to self for club championships-a slight fade when in doubt!

How could I learn so much in a round of golf, enjoy it so much, and shoot a 94?

Last night, doing 11pm research on the LBG.com, I realized why I was not able to shoot 76 or 77 as I did earlier, really!

I had forgotten about Covering the Line! Completely forgotten about it.


Sure enough, at 6:30 am, as the sun was coming up, I could see my Hogan Edges, Taylor Made Hybrids and Cleveland Driver, respond to my Angle Hinge and Pivot Covering the Line like Obama responds to people on food stamps!

Everything worked! Everything! Keeping my feet outside my shoulders let me line up the ball of my front logo and I was hitting high flying fish hooks with everything.

Our greens were like glass and I was five over until I forgot to slide a 6 iron back in my stance and hit a perfectly straight ball to the right of a green waiting for a draw that never came!

In order to play out of the plugged lie in the rough, I had to hit down on the chip and eventually took a 7. One more bogey and I was 9 over for 44. Back nine was no worries!

Par, Par, bogey, bogey. Wind was howling and I snapped a drive losing the base-line covering. No worries. Perfect 2 hybrid within 70 yards of the green in the rough. But instead of my taking a bogey and going on, one of my competitors identified my ball and I goofed by not checking it.

He had pulled the same trick twice in the round( "This is your ball here it is a Titleist!-No, my ball has a blue straight aiming line!") but I ascribed his missed calls to simple mistakes! I hit to the green and checked the ball before putting my fourth. I wondered why he was smiling as I started to look down. I started to speak to call the penalty. Then I knew he had been trying to do this all round!

By the time I had gotten back to my ball (pressed down in the grass as if run over by a cart, it was I'm sure!) I had carded a 9 ! (+16 for the round). Meanwhile, that competitor suddenly went from not having a clue to making everything in sight!

I bogeyed a short par 3 then tripled on a par four, bogeyed , then doubled. The harder I tried to fight it the worst it got. I missed the cut by 6 strokes. The other guy made it by one having birdied one hole and paring all the rest..


Lemonade

Angle Hinge, Elbow drive, straight shots or draws Covering the line on purpose, don't go above shoulder height for the wrist rolls over (you moron) and don't loose focus. Verify your ball always. Just because the club championship is a small thing to you does not mean that others will not do all they can to win it!!!

I hit so many very good shots today and feel like I can control my ball so well again! Off on Monday for the local Monday game and Columbus day. Sunday is the senior championship where I will have the chance to do it again. I will be ready!



On top of it, the guy claimed on his card my score was a 104 ! A simple addition solved that! A cold front is coming through tonight making a wet cold mess of the morning. I will be toasty warm in bed. Perhaps my new "friend" will have a large tree fall on his golf bag or perhaps encounter a sinkhole as he lines up a putt!
