So that will be my regular window. The most helpful "full -swing " videos for me are:
With your scrambling abilities, and these insights from Lynn, you are likely to have Jerry's problem and be over the green for awhile.

thanks..... left wrist uncocking DOWN.... delivery line ROLL.... finish swivel....... i agree they look like good places to work
the snow is clearing & we get to play tomorrow http://www.westonsupermaregolfclub.com/hole.php?hole=1
so i'll try & make a par or two for you snow-bound guys
Thanks for sharing the views of your course, Tim. It looks like a wonderful place to play every possible day.
Trees don't belong on a golf course.
Hi Jerry,
actually that course is a local one where 20 of us are going for a holiday day out tomorrow. It is a course i like though with some good holes.
My home track is http://www.mendipgolfclub.com/course.html
it is an upland course with small greens, that can play quite fast & linksy during the summer - one or two weak holes but probably the 2nd best course in the locality - the photos don't quite do it justice
the best course in the area is a good links course, no tress but plenty of wind http://www.burnhamandberrowgolfclub....p#championship
if you ever find yourself in the UK we'll go play it
Both courses look wonderful.
I play several in this area. Possibly my favorite two are
<htp://www.oakglengolf.com/tourcourse.htm> and <http://www.tannersbrook.com/golf/proto/tannersbook/course/course.htm> I hope these web sites translate.
If you ever get here, we'll play them. City has experienced Oak Glen, but not the other. Maybe on his next trip.

righto - sounds good - i'd better get that swing sorted out for the back tees at Tannersbrook !
apologies up front for the blow by blow account but i gave TGM my first real workout today & wanted to record the result...
I played a hitting action producing a small cut
6000yd par 70 cold but light winds
12/13 fairways with ok distance 220-260 (gotta be pleased enough with that)
9/18 greens (a tad disappointing)
29 putts (anything under 30 putts floats my boat)
3 birdies & 5 bogeys for 2 over 72 (happy with the score)
i hit 5 or 6 good shots (one 280yd drive when i got the club properly back on plane in the follow through) & 2 bad ones...... my challenge was the club not getting left enough quick enough & not back on plane ie a bit of a steer i guess, but the ok shots were playable & i felt like i knew what i was trying to do which is a nice start & a difference
if i can get todays good shots as a norm i might be in business

Tim, can you explain the "left enough?" How was your chipping?

I was looking at Olazabal down the line today, and what textbook release action. Downswing butt end of club pointing on plane perfect, then the roll and release, head back. Clubface dead perfect at impact. Gorgeous.

The club seemed nicely inside & on plane in the backstroke (concentrated on RFT) but too steep & not inside enough on the throughstroke. That is probably a steer ? i suspect i need to work on release, roll & swivel ?
I'm inclined towards being too cautious (great for steering i suspect) so any thoughts on freeing up a bit would be appreciated.
chipping was ok 4/8 saves from around the green concentrated on lagging, tracing & hinging, most of the chipping & pitching was more crisp than previously.
The good thing about the chipping & all the shots actually was that i maintained some lag (for the first time ever). It was quite noticable to see the others in my group flipping their hands & the clubhead at the ball, in an attempt to make the clubhead move faster (something i used to do).
LynnBlakeGolf has brought new information into my game - thankyou all
out walking the dog this morning i hit a few shots. i was trying to apply roll as more of a flat left hand action yesterday & i see now it is a wrist & forearm motion which is much more structured & easier to apply
also very interested in the thought that was posted about Hogan getting flatter & his wallet getting fatter, it seems easier to get left in the follow through when i concentrate on getting flatter

i'll check him out, thanks - known as a great iron player but a comparatively poor driver, was it an iron swing or driver ? perhaps you would post the link ?
