I'm intrigued by the biomecanical aspects of the golf swing, but alas not competent enough to form an opinion. Joe Norwood's golf o'metrics was an interesting read, some of it similar to Angle of Approach procedure for Hitting with specific "alignments" of body parts. Recently I've seen there's a specific approach for putting.

ROCKING HORSE = HULA HULA STATIONARY HEAD FEELING THE LAG WITH THE PRE-FORMED FLYING WEDGES !!!!!!!!!!!

It doesn't get easier than that kids!

Sadly I shot a 44 on the front 9, though I tried to avoid the two 7's on the front by playing every safe shot I could think of, I mean really. The ground was so 'friggin hard that two chips to the middle ran beneath trees on the other side!

My Nike OZ putter with enough marking lines to warm the heart of an air traffic controller, revealed how straight a straight putt can be (sorry Gerry, the Bullseye must rest when fast greens appear in Philadelphia). 6 one putt greens, 2 birdies out of four chances of less than 20 feet, had me thanking Lynn's lessons on the Runyon putting techniques.

I did shank 3 chips on the front 9 with my favorite wedge and just stopped chipping and used my putter from everywhere on the last 10 holes!

Of course, hitting driver- wedge, or driver 9 iron, or driver -hybrid to the middle of every green makes it easy to use the putter from everywhere!

The Minimalist golf swing from Ms. Kiran Kanwar is really a "clap your hands" move emphasizing keeping the right shoulder on plane and back while the right elbow and right forearm return to the plane lower than the left arm at impact. The Bertholy/Moe Norman drills reinforce that position and those insights helped me understand what Lynn meant by Hula Hula!!!

What I did well- Formed my flying wedges and really concentrated on shifting my belly button slowly back and through waiting for the lag! My foursome kept asking how I hit my driver so far and so straight with such a small effort! I also recognized that a putter is highly functional!

What I did poorly- Shanked my chips!!!! UGH! Did I mention I putted out of two bunkers? I need a Yoda of Arabia session or three! I didn't keep my head stationary that well on the first nine holes. I need to TRUST THE ROCKING HORSE !!!
