My phone says it feels like -2, 26mph wind and it’s raining.

Possibly the windiest day I have ever spent on the golf course, mixed with some sleet showers for fun. What a challenge, better than no golf though.

We had hailstones for the first hole. after that it was just wind.
The course took some amount of rain over night and yesterday. today it was unbelievably firm underfoot. greens soft but that is expected.
My upturn in form has continued. had a lesson during the week. game going for strength to strength so the summer cannot come soon enough for me.

Weren’t you following Mike Malaska? If so,did the lessons go with his style, or against it?

Lesson was very good. I would say the pro had very similar ideas to the athletic motion guys.
He wanted me to
Have my elbows closer together on the take away. mine are splitting are splitting very quickly. This leads to a flat turn and very laid off look.
Turn my right hip back more.
Centred turn.
Shift into left side
Get more open. struggling with this.
Let the club head go. very odd this.
Full extension on follow through.
Plenty to chew on.
I still watch all of Malaska's videos. Still marvel at how easy he makes it look.

So the weather didn't prevent anything, you just chose not to play.My phone says it feels like -2, 26mph wind and it’s raining.

Yup exactly the same... Weather was literally a battle but that aside my golf today didn't even resemble the sport on the slightest I'm not even sure what I would called it other than absolute crap

Wasn't pleasant at CLS today, light rain from around the 5th onwards, hailstones in your face coming down 17, couple this with a million miles an hour wind so you'd have done a Mary Poppins if you used an umbrella

Wife played today in bright blue skies....and about 25-35mph icy winds... gusting more! Not nice

It was decent when we teed off 😂
Played awful but somehow scraped 29 points, think I three putted 7 times as the greens were so slow ðŸ¤

It ha stopped raining before we went out at 8.00 but the wind was cold, gusty and unpredictable. Can't blame the conditions for my score though

That’s a lot to remember on every swing! Yeah he certainly makes it seem so easy and smooth. I always go back to his videos when things go wrong. So pretty much every other week! Have to rely on YouTube as not a member of his site.

Same as. I may splash out and buy his book at some stage.
As far as what I've been told. The pro was realistic as he said you can work on as much or as little as you want. You may want to work on It all or elements. He knows us players can be lazy. He said to concentrate on the arms together thing first and also the weight shift as I had practically zero and never got my low point forward therefore hitting everything fat.
Made huge strides forward this last 2 week's.
Lol that's a nice day up here at this time of the yearMy phone says it feels like -2, 26mph wind and it’s raining.

That’s good. Hope you can maintain it. I put lessons off cuz I was worried they’d mess up what I was trying to learn from Mike. I should probably just go for it though.
I’ll skip the book. Think I’d find it less helpful to use a book with static pictures. You can get 20% off a years membership if you’re thinking about the site. BBG20 code. Not sure it’s still valid tho.

For me thats way too much to be thinking about even if you do try and break it down.
But if you're happy doing that then great.

The right hip, centre turn and shift are also to be practised infront of the mirror in the gym.
Some elements will take alot more time than others to work on.
I like that he has given me plenty to chew on. I've been drip fed in the past and it didn't really stick.
Things are alot more clear this time so hopefully I can keep improving the overall action.
