I had a lesson several days ago. The instructor really liked my
stance, grip, and setup but found a major flaw in my takeaway. She
said I had little forearm rotation on the takeaway whicn caused me to
come in to steep on the downswing, causing occasional erratic shots,
especially with my driver.
She got me to turn my forearms slightly counterclockwise starting
about hip high on the backswing(I am lefty), and this really provided a
great lane to come from the inside on the downswing,
Was the first one out this am and Shot an 82, which included 2 birdies.
This would have easily been a whole lot less, if I had not lost a ball
in the rough and been in the sand twice. With this slightly modified
takeaway, i felt a whole lot more confidence and the club seemed to
release a lot easier.
Weather beautiful, think I am going to play early every morning through
the weekend. just can't help but feel a few sub 80 rounds in the
making!

I shot 84 last Sunday. This would have easily been a whole lot more if
a skulled approach didn't stop 15 feet from the pin and two of my tee
shots didn't hit trees and stay in bounds.

I shot a 97 (I play off 21) last Saturday. This would have easily been
90 if I wasn't 11 over for Par 3s. Do I sound like Michelle Wie? ;P

Jack Nicklaus had a lot of trouble remembering bad shots, it was commented
on by one interviewer who seemed to not be able to get Jack to talk about
one of his shots.

I have not had any garlic up my tail in over a year. My rhoids are
gone. And some of the credit belongs to the garlic. Now why don't you
just fess up that you have the problem too, and get a few cloves and
get to work.

If your potion didn't sound so much like a really good meal I had the other
day, I might be tempted. My wife had one in the oven but I don't think I
want one there.

Did she smell the garlic in your ... nevermind. I hope it's not a wood
(works only one day), like someone so wisely posted about other fixes.
Choose a line and commit to your putt. I tell you what I want to remember
myself. : -)

Denise King, no relation, is a well respected teaching pro in our area,
hell, Sparky even took one lesson from her moons ago.

A "gimme" can best be defined as an agreement between
two golfers neither of whom can putt very well.
