Good morning, Loungers!  We stayed in Bend, OR last night and this morning we are on the way to Crater Lake.  Yesterday, we went to Sahalie Falls, Proxy Falls, lava fields, Steelhead Falls, and Smith Rock State Park.

Sam, atta boy!  Always good to reclaim the swing again!  One of the keys to golf is always remember that the swing will come back from the dead.  

 

So I know how it feels to reclaim the old swing again.  I am not sure why or how it happens, it just does.  🙂

 

 

... Unfortunately I know why my swing gets out of whack but fixing it is another story. I have a degenerative disc and have had two surgeries. The pieces of my disc that broke off were pressing against my spinal cord and had some nerve damage. So when it is slipping just a little, my ligaments and muscles tense up to protect the disc and my left leg loses any feel. That all sounds a little worse than it actually is but when it happens I can't have much seperation between my hips and shoulders and everything wants to turn together as one unit. That produces a different kind of swing that is much more arm driven because I can;t turn my hips through impact while keeping my shoulders square to the line. They all just turn together and I have figured out how to make that work but it also ingrains some bad muscle memory and it can be difficult to ignore what my body wants to do to protect itself and do what my golf swing needs my body to do. 

... So basically everything gets put of whack and I have to depend on my short game. The other option is not playing and that really isn't an option for me. So when I am able to clear that muscle memory and swing my natural swing it is so much easier as my hips and shoulders are working together and not fighting each other. Now like everyone that plays this game there are some days when my natural swing with no back issues gets a little out of sync and the round is a bit of a struggle, but that usually doesn't last more than one or two rounds. Glad to hear your vertigo is under control as I can't imagine playing golf like that!

Coach Sam, we were talking about the head position in the swing staying down past impact correct? 

Look at wee man, he's already figured that out.   Incredible.
