Following on from my earlier post about booking a lesson after my torrid driving exhibition last night, a call got me booked for 2pm earlier today.
So, brief warm up with a 7iron, and a few shots which werent bad at all.
Set up good, alignment good, grip good, all good,......but just try and pull your hips back a smidge he says first, which will give you more room.
Ok, seems easy enough....and flt ok too.
Pointed out that my left wrist was tending to cup more than it should rather than cocking horizontally (?), which was tending to close the face slightly, so I'm now reminded of what it should be doing....
And then, the biggie,.....it seems I was tending to slide my hips thru on the downswing, rather than turning them to allow everything to clear as my hands/arms came thru at impact.
Eventually, after 40mins, and after I bombed one down virtually perfectly, he said 'well I think thats enough for now'.
Definitely the best £15 I have spent in yonks, and for those of you that dont have lessons, as I havent for as long as I can recall, do yourself a favour and find a local Pro who knows what they are doing.
This lesson wont be the last for me I can tell you, if I am ever to get to that elusive Single Figure status, this is the year, and lessons can only help.
