  1. That means a lot. Sorry for indirectly putting you down before, I didn't know what I was talking about. In the same video he said don't trust anyone in a strip center with a camera to make you better, it was a straight dagger to the heart.
  2. Just watched a new video from my favorite golfer of all time, and friend, Lee Trevino, advocating a "weak" right hand position to hit both draws (more forward ball position) and fades (more trail foot ball position). Why is this frowned upon now with "modern" instructors teaching the exact opposite? Is there any advantage of a strong right hand teaching draws from the back foot and fades from the front foot?
  3. Thanks for sharing, that is extremely helpful for me and completely changes the way I view the golf and baseball swing. I do the exact opposite (rolling the hands over past the midline and pulling in to move the club forward), love this. Thanks again.
  4. It is and will a be a great job for the guy you're bringing in. Seems like you have an awesome club. I'm still here to help if needed, had to shoot my shot. The guy who breeds the grass is Richard Hurley He wants to make sure all of the courses that have his cultivars succeed. It would be worth your time to reach out to him.
  5. That sucks. But it was necessary. You have to be very quick now and find someone who can start fixing thing immediately. Greens have to be resodded going into the fall and absolutely not re-seeded and regrown because that will set you back another 8 months plus.
  6. Not in your case, but if your clubhead is only about a foot behind the ball and 10 inches off the ground at left arm parallel, it's pretty hard to make a swing from there.
  7. I can't buy into this because when you try what they are saying, and go all in and get significantly worse, then try what cartoon Dr. Evil online is saying and you immediately get better results, it gets a little murky. It feels dirty, like cheating on a wife I've never had. But not going to sacrifice my game to hang on to a failed relationship.
  8. Need pics. Either wet wilt "melting out" or pythium, or both. Not going to get better until it cools down unless you plug or re-sod those areas. That's your only fast fix this time of year, it's not going to miraculously come back. Probably your only option once it cools down as well.
  9. On that swing, yes. He's very dynamic and has some where there's almost none, until the downswing, but I will be ignoring those, and basically everything he does from now on. I love him as a player, but have learned it's not in my best interest to copy, even though it's been a tough pill to swallow. I appreciate the information.
  10. With our Open Championship winner Scottie having very little to no wrist hinge on the backswing, to having 90 degrees on the downswing, I'm assuming we should treat this as an outlier, and not a model to copy? I only ask because that is what I am being taught even though my swing is quite flat and not vertical like his. Thank you all for the help.
  11. Thank you. I think you may have misinterpreted what I was trying to say, or more likely I failed to communicate what I meant. I'm not against short and slower swings, I want to do them. That is a strategy that I had not heard before, and am very grateful for your advice. I was trying to communicate that as I get slower, it gets worse, which proves your point that what I'm doing is incorrect. The float loading and late hinge doesn't work unless I'm absolutely trying to hit the piss out of the ball, which is why I don't trust it and can't incorporate it into my "playing" swing. My awful swing is more effective the way it is than adding those things.
