First medal in a year, the wheels fell off........ then the engine fell out!!

[JustOne]

First medal since April last year as my back was just sooooo painful thru 2012.

Changed my swing a few weeks ago and took it for it's first test drive:

Played the first 8 holes quite well, got to the 9th tee at level par...

3 over standing on the 10th tee!! :angry:




Kind of chopped my way round from there until standing on the 18th tee (par 5) at 7 over and really needing an eagle (or at least a birdie)....














...... made a TEN :mmm:

The secrets in the words "I changed my swing" I bet you were a little more aware of it as the round went on and old swings and new swings started to creep in. It happens James, I played with a PGA pro at Gleneagles last week and he lost 5balls with a sudden dose of the "pushes" and was mortified. I know he had to give me 12 shots and talk me through each shot/putt but he didnt plan to get beat by me off the back sticks but when your swing is only a little out of kilter off a very low handicap ....... Disaster looms!

Yeah but was it a push draw or pull draw that caused the 10? Where was the face in relation to path?

I suspect the face was in the hands looking down at the path!

A popular swing finish, I know it well!!!

 

[virtuocity]

Were you getting stuck on your right side?

 

[Hobbit]

Did you tilt before stacking...?

As do we all Rob ....... only too well!

 

[Jimbooo]

Perhaps it was the trousers you were wearing?

You might be onto something there......!!!!! :whoo: LOLOL

It's OOB to the right of the 18th fairway.... I reloaded, twice, then made bogie with my 3rd ball :angry:

Don't tell me I'm the only Stack and Tilter left on here?

I'm not against it by any means.... I just spent so long showing people an exaggerated 'hands forward, ball back, hand path in, weight on the left.. etc etc' that I could barely get the ball airborne!!

So are you now following a different method, or can we expect a release of a book & DVDs at over £100 called 'Just One Way To Play Golf"?

The most important question: were you in tears?

 

[CMAC]

a ten is nothing!

I had an 11 and a 12 two weeks on the trot on the 18th and was only 1 over and 3 over respectively on the 18th Tee

so man up, use a 'normal' swing save yer back and start enjoying golf again..........:ears:

 

[fundy]

is it wrong to have seen this and thought, hmm im a point closer in the hcap challenge despite being injured

 

[scratch]

Maybe it was your metal spikes?

 

[Foxholer]

A popular swing finish, I know it well!!!

I now use the phrase 'common, if not popular'!

I threw my card away in disgust after finishing 8,8 in the June medal only to realise later i still would have buffered as opposed to taking my 3rd straight .1
