Yoda showed taught me exercise 5 and 6 on the practice tee at Orange County National in front of about 50 people. The player to my right was a tour pro on the Canadian tour. I was a little abashed but played along as people watched Yoda and I working on what I am sure they thought were dance moves. Yoda is one heck of dancer, I bet!

That was almost two years ago and I now do 5 and 6 on the course when ever I feel the need. Its also a good warm up drill. It creates a feel that sets me straight. A feeling of the arms going sort of "up" independent of the body and knees. For me it is a feeling of the right hip going back and the arms going up with the shoulders held still. If you were to add a little shoulder turn you'd have the hands going not only back and up but also in, just like in a real swing. It is a good "hands to pivot" drill. Not sure if that is just what the doctor diagnosed for me or whether it is prescription for all. Hope I got it right here. Correct me if I got wrong.

I have been doing these drills and lifting my heels while keeping my Balance over a golf ball and Lagging a club tracing back on the Baseline of the Plane. It has been over a week and my club "swoosh" sound has increased as my muscles have gotten use to the move! My goal is to do these drills daily as a type of stretching, Balance, and Rhythm.

Thanks Lynn!
