Golf Random Irritations

Finding out a lad who have played multiple scratch matches against over the last couple of years when he played for John O Gaunt passed away due to Leukaemia over Xmas - age 39

I am working on shortening my swing again, to stop me swinging over the top on occasions with driver. Early signs are that it does work. I noticed my backswing had got very long, and once it gets past horizontal I lose control of it and almost pull it over my right shoulder when I start the downswing - that produces the awful slice. If I can stop my backswing just before horizontal, it doesn't tend to happen.

That’s exactly it. My problem is that when I had lessons and was hitting it really well it was with a full swing and tilt/ twist from hips and shoulders which helped create coil and power. Problem is. I still try a full swing and it goes massively belly up. Fortunately I can see the problem.

I keep reminding myself that things could go ka-put any day.

Talking to a guy Missis T met on holiday she knew through her nursing days. We were talking about where we had done resus on folk. The guy mentioned he had seen someone collapse on an adjoining tee whilst golfing. He couldn’t be saved.
It happens folks. Enjoy life and get things done. Coz you never know when the grim reaper is gonna take your clubs off you
Enjoy life folks.

Hi there

Not sure what your level of golfswing is, but you can only shorten your swing by extending the first couple of feet of your takeaway, and then transitioning quicker into the downswing.

Try the age old low and slow takeaway, but feel that you are moving your weight back towards the target before you even finish your backswing.

The dowswing will feel a bit rushed and super short in the beginning but after hitting 20 or so shots your backswing will start to feel more comfortable and compact, and your strike more explosive yet more controlled.

Good luck

Some of the lads who are better golfers have told me to do something similar without moving the weight forward.
Just had the highlights of my year. As I suspect it has been a bad one with my hcap going up 2.1
Many thanks me man.

Pleasure mate. Havent seen you swing but if everything is pretty decent, this should be the cherry on the top.
