Subject: another lesson......painful


Lesson 2 yesterday, I suck!!! I didn't have ANY wrist hing on my
backswing. Now I'm trying to incorporate that into everything else. I
like it right away on the driver but having a hard time hitting irons
now. Only played 1 round (9 holes). Lot's of work on the range this
week & another lesson next week.

I heard your instructor popped a blood vessel in his eye from laughing
so hard.

A firend of mine, a big hitter, has a wrist cock of approximately 35=B0
. Why should 90=B0 be necessary? F

We can find exceptions where someone plays decent golf without this
good technique or without that good technique. That shows that that
particular technique isn't necessary.

But good techniques can make the game a lot less difficult and random.

Because the exceptions prove the rule.

Without hitting the ball, just get a club in your hand and try making a
wrist cock into an 'L'. Just repeat to try to make it more
coordinated, and more comfortably confident. If you do it with motion,
then try not to bend your left arm.

You may get worse before you get better. It takes time. Just remember
what your instructor told you. Good habits take time.
