First practice session after lesson

[percy_layer]

I managed to hit about 40 balls after i finished my County Academy coaching today. I've uploaded a couple swings onto Youtube, one from 28th Jan on the range at Goswick and one today in the bays at Linden, not much difference yet but hopefully i'll get time to do more practice next few days.

Points i'm working on are:
Slightly stronger right hand grip with the elbow softer and more into my side.
Narrower stance with right foot turned out a little more.
Keep head still and restricting head turn to the right on backswing.
Improve body turn to target on throughswing instead of sliding.

Long time until June to get the changes sorted.With all this work you must fancy your chances of breaking 80 in the Open Qualifier this year....

IM01,small steps are the way to go according to the top coaches so he really should be looking for a couple of shots improvement not 8 but I think there would be nowt wrong with setting the bar high.

Not had any vertigo attacks for a few months and with a bit of luck will not have a stomach virus this year either.......


If i play this year, will try to get my score closer to either the 69 or the 70 i've scored in the Pro-Am in the last few years. Or even closer to the scores i've had at other courses in previous years......

Aye and you'll need another calm day like last years Open Qualifying and the forward pegs they use for the Pro Am for those numbers.

Wouldn't like to tempt fate......

[Dodger]

And so you should,you are a 'Professional' after all.

Aye profesional marsbar salesman!!! Christ man when you gonna realise you just need to go on the course and get on with it. To much nonsense going through your head! Take a leaf out of Tommy 2 Gloves book!!!!! Cant wait till open qualifying as im sure it will be very interesting to see how your swing changes have come along and i will applaud you when i see your name up in lights on the leaderboard after shooting 69!! Good luck!!
