What do I work on?

Depends on what your ball flight is. If you slice the golf ball, you need to make sure your hands are on the club properly for you (we have covered this in previous posts) and the toe of the club is moving faster through impact than the heel of the club. Another way to say the same thing is to have your bottom hand on the golf club moving faster through impact than your top hand.

If your ball flight has minimal curvature, then you need to work on how your body moves. You need to proceed to Golf Magazine online and check out the O Factor. The instructor's name is Angus Murray. This is the best discription of how the body works in the golf swing I've ever seen. Study it and do the drills.

I have mentioned previously how I have been working on getting the clubface square or neutral going back. Whenever I feel that I am adding loft to the clubface going back, I hit solid shots with the divots going at or slightly left of target.

While practicing Friday, I made it a point to feel the additional loft as the clubface swung back. I really started hitting solid shots with a slight fade. I had to try this on the course so off I went. Played our back nine and shot 4 under 32. Actually missed two birdie putts inside 10 feet. Went to the mirror and checked where the clubface was going. Perfect.

Yesterday was cold and windy so I made lots of swings with the weighted club. With the clubface moving correctly, the swings were powerful without effort. My balance is so much better. I'm excited!
