Lockdown garden swing videos

[harpo_72]

So I have got my vid on google drive ... what next?

First things first. Get that grass cut!

I know you're used to playing out of the semi, doesn't mean that you have to practice out of it!

??

I've only got scissors that I could possibly use and I'm not that bored yet!!

 

[huds1475]

Here it is face on. Some issues I’m working on at the moment, including trying to get a little more wrist hinge and then a bit more lag. Also slowed it down a bit as my tempo was like a rutting dog!

Please ignore the mound of earth. I’m working on the garden at the moment ?

Nowt wrong with that bit, it's the chipping we all want to see

 

[harpo_72]

My garden efforts! No damage was involved in this video... but I did realise I look fat and old .. not the vision I have of myself. Although my mental age is still 12 .. just wish my body had been as slow to age!
Oh and be patient it takes a bit of time for the fat bloke to saunter over to the ball.

Naughty boy Craig. Very naughty. I’m not sure the lockdown is long enough for me to improve my chipping enough to post a video of it ?

I think you may need to change a setting somewhere to make the video public

Sorted
Have you changed anything in your backswing recently

No, not that I know of.
I am over the top a bit.

Were you fitted for those flip flops??

 

[harpo_72]

Were you fitted for those flip flops??

Yes, they are specific to me and I cannot eBay them as they have deformed cushioning in the exact places

I'm convinced there's something wrong with my camera, makes me look a lot older

 

[harpo_72]

Oh and before you all ask .. my tendency to buy golf shirts cheap and poorly coloured and fitting is a habit started when I took the game up 30years ago

Is your normal shot shape a fade?

 

[harpo_72]

Yes can be with the longer irons but mainly straight when I am on it. I set up for a draw with a 5 iron, 3!wood and driver. But that’s only with my back foot about an inch back.

[bobmac]

If you're happy, don't fix it

 

[harpo_72]

Generally content with my irons. I worked out my distances and they are not embarrassing. I used the distance chart to calculate my swing speed. I even checked the lofts on my irons and matched that to distance to make sure the swing speed is close.
But my driver is shorter than I would expect when I look at my iron distance.
So I was looking at that and what I could do to creep it up a bit further.

 

[harpo_72]

Any tips for lag ? Or just to get more delay in wrist release?
I have noticed I don’t have a huge amount of angle at impact and I possibly could be losing before driver impact due to the forward position of the ball.

Here’s my effort! I have a sloped garden with 4 tiers, hence the weird angle and awkward stance. First club was a chip n run into a plant pot in its side, the second club is my lob wedge into a washing up bowl. Any comments welcome!

Oh, and I really need to learn how to smile or at least not frown so much! ?

Ok. 2 things.

1. Precarious stance ?
2. You look uncannily like a bald Liverbirdie. It’s spooky ?
