A Brief Hiatus…

Well, I got rained out today and it’s only going to reach a high of 4C tomorrow, so it will likely be Saturday or Sunday before I get out to play. First time all year I’ve missed a week or more straight from playing golf.

No Golf ‘Til Thursday, But…

I’m unfortunately in another stretch of work that will make it Thursday at the earliest before I can get back out to the golf course. I was hoping to get out on the weekend but family function and fatigue kept me from doing anything more than shooting a few swings in the back yard.

My Centred-Stance Theory (video)

O.K., so here I didn’t get a chance to get out to the golf course today, so I recorded a little demonstration clip of what I’m talking about with this Centred-Stance Theory of mine.

More On the Centred Stance Theory

This thing I’m working on which I call the Centred-Stance Theory is my attempt to use hand-eye coordination and other sports swings as a reference point to build the proper Address Position, Grip and Ball Placement for the golf swing.

The Centred Stance Theory

O.K. – I’ve always had a problem with the conventional golf swing. With a lifetime of sporting experience (badminton, baseball, hockey, track & field, basketball, even freaking croquet!), I knew almost from the start that the golf swing the way it’s taught is not the way to go.

My Epic Drive Today

I hit a drive today that I can only describe as one of the best drives I’ve hit at my golf course. I hit a drive over the 285 yard 17th hole which is a par-4, but the yardage is deceiving, to say the least.

I had just hit my drive from the tee on the 300 yard par-4 sixteenth hole, into the green front bunker, while Sean Kim and his group were putting out. I saw Sean turn around and look at my ball in the bunker, and we waved to each other.

New Video By the Weekend?

I found out today that our golf course will be closing on or about November 15th. I can’t believe the season went by so quickly. It seems like just yesterday and not last April that I began the season by snap-hooking every drive for the first two rounds!!

Open For Comments

I am going to open up my blog for the commenting format. I don’t pretend that there will be a flood of readers rushing to comment, but I have recieved a few inquiries regarding the closed comments.

I closed the comments down on my previous blog because I simply wanted to share my work on the golf swing.

The Grip – Interlock or Overlap?

Mike Austin used what he called, and what everyone else calls, I imagine, the “standard overlapping grip.”

Thanks to “Justin,” I was able to see Austin himself explain the grip. It differed from mine in that, when I watch my swing clips, I noticed the line between my right thumb and forefinger were angled far more to my right than Austin’s.

The Grip

A very short posting for today. I played golf yesterday and had a startling revelation once I got home and tried to figure out what had been troubling me off the tee, which was the ball hooking with the driver and slicing with the long irons.
