Think you're best off ignoring LiverpoolDil the troll

Interesting tips from your lesson, makes sense though. And if you're seeing results then that's bang on :thup:

Love it as he's first to have a pop and then first to whinge when others give it back. What can you do? Makes him happy. All washes over me

He seems obsessed with you....I'd be flattered :lol:

I'm currently practicing tips from my lesson earlier in the month in the front room whilst the missus is out :lol:

Mate, you're missing it, have a look at any thread and Phil totally ignores everything Homer posts, Homer constantly baits him,

Where have I said a word on here? He popped up and had a dig. Hardly squeaky clean himself is he? Anyway, this distracts from the thread so enough said, and back to hearing how forummers are having light bulb moments and getting better

Answer one question then, you know he will not answer your posts so why do you respond to is, ie, the one tonight about Rory's swing, he never mentioned tempo.

I'll answer with a question. If I'm on ignore why does he feel the need to post sarcastic comments anyway. To be honest I don't care and too long in the tooth to care but as I said it's now detracting from the thread so I'm not answering any more posts on here about it

You're not on ignore he just won't entertain your stalking, but once again you not answering the question speaks volumes. I'm out.

Says nothing other than not wishing to pollute a very good thread with bickering but you seem intent on carrying that on. End of.

A very good friend of mine whose off 2 has been delving into Flow Motion and is working with them and Zen Golf to promote the game to the younger generation to take up the game. I played with him yesterday at Rotherham and he'd been practising a no look golf swing which when he sets up to the ball, raises his head up to look forward then does a swing and busted it down the middle with a 3 yard draw with his driver. I tried, and whiffed it 3 yards. He later hit a drive without looking over 300yds,It was just incredible to see and watch.

So so I hit the practise ground today, and was hitting 6 irons really well, then for the last 10 minutes I was trying the Flow motion where you walk up to the ball and without stopping or pausing take your stance and swing. The results were ridiculous, and effortless and the ball defiantly went further.

Baby draw 300 yards and shoots over par.

Needs to stop messing around with no look swings and sort out that short game.

who said he shot over par?

 

[garyinderry]

Playing off 2 he shoots over par more than he should

Do you know something I don't?

 

[garyinderry]

What would you like to know? His current handicap is 2. The course gives him two shots. needs more sub par rounds. :rofl:

Latest lesson this evening. Worked on balance and keeping my left foot planted as I was falling forward on quite a few shots. Lesson went well, change worked and down to me to practice it. Results showing straight away, better strikes with both 7i and driver, here's hoping I can keep it going.

Good luck with the change. Will have chance to work on it at the range before you next play? I always find it tough to play straight after a lesson if I haven't it balls and worked on the new swing. Always feels alien and out of time. I stick with it but there's normally a trust issue

Thanks. I played 12 holes as practice tonight and it seemed to be working based on distance and ball flight, so it appears to be a case of "so far, so good!"

I'm hoping to get to the range tomorrow evening to have a good go at it ready for the weekend's comps too.

I know what you mean about swing changes though, I have struggled with some in the past but others have come more naturally. My pp this evening had a lesson yesterday and was struggling a bit with his changes, yet managed to get round the 12 holes well enough!

Good thread sir. I've a lesson booked for this afternoon. Not really played or practiced too much in the last few weeks so just going for a 30 minute refresher and overview on where the swing is ready for some warmer and dryer weather (soon please). Then its about short game up to March and the start of the season and then off and running

Great lesson. Pleased that the work I've done on alignment, posture and tempo passed muster. Worked mainly on my exit through the ball which was too high leading to a couple of faults. Also looked at staying behind the ball with the driver. Some excellent stuff. Came away invigorated and just need the temperature to rise, rain to stop and the course to dry out.

Off to the range tomorrow to work on the drills from the lesson ready for the first comp of 2016 on Saturday. Looking forward to the range and the comp. Let's get 2016 started

Very good session at Pachesham Golf Centre. Pitching lesson which was insightful and productive. Fantastic set up and a great short game area. Working in the sand next week which I am looking forward to

Need to get more feedback on my pitching. Not really gelling as I'd hoped but it's early season and I don't want to peak too early

Aimpoint Express lesson last Thursday. Very interesting and showing some promise on my reads and therefore putting with confidence again

Lesson booked for Wednesday. Played poorly at the weekend but wanting to put that down to my recent health issues but just want reassurance it was mostly the ill effects and nothing to do with the swing. That and a big comp coming up next weekend so good to get a look over before then

Great lesson. Not too much technique changed but a lot of work done of NLP and being calmer over the shot and smoother

Thanks for that. Wasn't sure myself. It was strange but he asked me to simply put my tongue at the base of my mouth and focus on my breathing from the chest (but not listening to it). Apparently this reduces the heart rate. All I know is I felt so calm over the ball and with a slower takeaway was able to make some really solid shots. Not sure how or why but seemed to slow me down completely. Apparently he does a lot of NLP work with is plus figure and single figure pupils so their might be something in it although I'd not heard of it. Does this "Zen Golf" book a few have recommende come from the same stable?

Is this really "keeping it simple" Homer????
Straight question.
