Hey guys I think I am on the right track to recovering from my week layoff over thanksgiving.  It’s amazing how long it takes to get some things back.  My short game is still rusty, but getting better.  My swing is starting to come back.  Chuck set up a hitting bay in his garage where he can take videos of my swing and we can work on things there when it is cold and/or rainy.  Pretty soon he will be getting a nice launch monitor to go in there and already has a big projection screen for larger than life video analysis, so it’s a great place that is getting better.  

We are still working on my swing plane, as I started to leak into old habits after taking off, but it’s getting better.  I am trying to keep my arms more in front of my body, my right arm and elbow tend to get really behind me and that puts me in a terrible position to start back down.  I am trying to feel like from the takeaway my left arm moves more straight back or even outward and rotates the club open and up, as well as feeling like my arms are close together and my right arm works up with the left.  My swing has always been pretty long, so getting my arms to stay in front of my body should help tone it down a bit.

I graduate from school on December 16, and then go back to Virginia for two weeks for Christmas.  I am going to have to brave the freezing cold weather and practice a lot because I can’t take anymore time off.  It lets too many bad habits get in.  If anyone has any extreme cold weather golf ideas leave a comment please.  Any certain clothes that keep you warmer than others but you can still move in?  Thanks guys.
