My swing today has no resemblance of what it was 2 years ago. I was the poster child of the hacker. Athletic yet clueless on what a good golf swing should feel or look like. The thing that has made the biggest difference for me is the understanding of the swing plane and how CF works. Previously, I was always slapping at the ball from OTT with severe "flippage". I could rarely break a 100 (legally).
Today I went out to a local par 3 course (its empty most of the time this time of year). I usually practice on this 125 yard hole hitting about 10 balls from the deck (somewhat hard pan). The hole has an elongated 2 tier green with traps on both sides and the wind was blowing in my face. Out of ten balls with a PW I put one in the hole, 1 2-inches from the hole, and 5 within 15 feet. the other 3 were on the fringe.
I don't write this to brag; I only write it to say WOW. In the past getting 2-3 balls out of ten on the green would have been an accomplishment for me. I am so excited about the game of golf now. I feel like I have uncovered the "secret".
I want to thank all the TGM folks on Brian's and Lynn's site who have shared their "secrets" of the golf swing. If only the rest of the PGA world could relate these principles to the masses....
I don't have real loftly goals - I want to break 80 - for me that would be so satisfying. I know it'll happen regularly this year (provdied I can get the driver working :>)
