Had my lesson yesterday to stop me sh*nking.

Apparently I transfer my weight back on to my left side too quickly and this causes me to cast the club to the outside and sh*nk it or at best pull left.

He got me to stay on the right side longer, by placing a ball under my left heel so I got the feeling of staying right more and keeping a straighter spine angle.

My alignment was wrong, my feet were pointing way right. He gave me a few tips about body alignment and told me to go out for a few holes to try it all out.

Didn’t Shank a single shot despite some really stinky hanging lies.

Played 18 holes in the end 5 over par, level for the back 9 into the wind.Par 70 at Tain.

Driving was out of this world, probably hitting 20-30 yards further than normal.

Now looking for a competition to play this weekend, let’s hope I haven’t forgotten everything he told me by then
 
Glad to hear that the lesson was worthwhile. Hopefully your swing will continue to improve.

I was hitting fantastic drives on Sunday after your adjustment, just a shame I was cocking up virtually every second shot. At least it gives me a fighting change on the hole now.
