It was a cool day today, around 60 degrees this morning and windy. The 13th hole at Sugarloaf is a hole that is flat until around 250 yards and then starts going downill a bit until around 300 yards where it starts to significantly go downhill. It’s a 507 yard par 4 that was playing
Rotary Swing 2.0 Takes a Turn to Revolutionize Golf Instruction
Last week, I spent four days working with Alison Thietje of Motion Memory Golf in St. Louis, MO. Alison and I had been talking about teaming up because our ideas of the swing are so incredibly similar, but approached from two different angles. I’m primarily concerned with sending the ball to the target with the
This will NOT be a winter of discontent
Well the golf season is slowing working its way to an end for me. I live in the southern VA area and we are getting the occasional 60* day still but the season is basically over. Normally the onset of cold weather has me feeling a little down and restless because I can’t play golf
Rotary Swing 2.0 – Lesson 1
So, I’ve been working on the Rotary Swing 2.0 concepts into my lessons and wanted to share with you some video of the first official “Rotary Swing 2.0″ lesson that I gave. He is a high handicapper, as evident by the first two baseline swings you can see in the video. His posture at address
Finally played golf today…
I’ve been working hard on the changes and been busy teaching, so it was nice today to get out and actually play golf. Yesterday, I was doing the first day of a mini 2 day clinic for a couple of students and in the afternoon we went out and played 9 holes. This was the
Made Progress with the Driver
It’s far from where I want to be, but, it’s progress. These swings were taken about an hour a part. The photos on the left are the baseline swing (embarrassingly horrible) are the baseline swings and the swings on the right are after some video work. I post the baseline swing because it is SOOO
112 mph 8 Iron – Breaking the Speed Limit
My “300 Workouts” have left me with a lot of confidence that while making a controlled swing I can get into many of the positions I want, but the problem is that it’s a controlled swing. By controlled, I mean that when I practice and film I’m often swinging between 60% and 70% of full
Hindsight is 20/20 in Golf
Today, I’m working on another view after Alison requested a swing of mine from this angle. This is a great angle to see just how the key muscles of the backside to the Rotary Swing 2.0 are working. I have some really bad habits in my golf swing that I’m learning to break with Alison’s
Final round observations
Well, I went trick or treating on the course, and pulled a trick and it worked out a treat! I belong to a little 9 hole club. The weather was gorgeous for the end of October (60°F and sunny) and so I headed out for what is very likely the last 18 of the year.
Today’s Tournament….
Played in my club’s weekly tournament and had another step forward in my journey. Now my score doesn’t reflect how well I feel I played (82) but it was 44* degrees when I teed off and I didn’t get into the sun until about the 7th hole. I got on the bogey train for those
It’s Night and Day After Lesson from Chuck
Well I have gone on and on about my lesson with Chuck and how awesome it went and that the key point was that I had ZERO shoulder turn (believe it the one on the right is at the top of my old backswing) and since I started doing the 185 slow motion swings working
Tiger Woods Biomechanics
I just completed an article on Tiger Woods’ Biomechanics and how it pertains to the Rotary swing 2.0 fundamentals that you guys will be learning this winter. Here is the link to the article: http://www.oneplanegolfswing.com/oneplanemembers/golfbiomechanics/tiger-woods-golf-biomechanics.jsp
Day 4 Progress Report – Golf Biomechanics and the Rotary Swing
Long day, I’m beat, but feel like I made great progess. After working on my swing with the camera for hours, I went to go hit some golf balls outside to see what was going on there. I hit it very straight, but not on the trajectory I’d like. It was a little floaty and
All Torque’d Up…
Still working here guys. I gave Alison a call for a little guidance on something and she has helped jog my memory on some things. First of all, a good backswing is so torque’d up that it would be impossible to hold that position at the top, or even get there in slow motion. I
“300 Workout” Continues….
I’ve made some more progress from yesterday where I was actually pretty happy with the changes that showed up on film in such a short time. Today, I got even better results after my workout this morning. I notice that at certain levels of time, say after maybe every 60-80 swings I really catch on
