I done did it this time. Fought it for 15 years. What’s crazy is it was fucking caddying at The Memorial that did it in. Couldn’t lift my arm after the tournament and got an MRI it hurt so bad.
1. Slowing down my arms during the downswing. Allowing lag and release to occur more naturally. I actually hit it longer and straighter when I’m not trying to kill the ball. Works great on the range but standing on the fairway 150 yards away from the green, something deep inside the back of my mind tells me to swing hard. Probably the biggest reason that I lose posture and hit off of the heel.
2. keeping my right heel down through impact. Almost every time I mis-hit it’s usually because I lift my heel up and start turning early.
Torn labrum in shoulder with no end in sight to getting better. Surgery in December. Going to be awhile. Really sucks, had my game dialed in from working so hard. Got back down to a +1 handicap.
Working on timing. I have a bit of an early release causing a slight draw with my irons witch is ok but I’ve been hooking my driver so I changed my grip just a smidge to help
Nothing. I've put my clubs in my truck and then taken them back out at least 5 times without making it to the course.
Last time I played, at least a month and a half ago, my back was sore for 3 days afterwards. Now it's sore when I wake up. I go to bed planning on playing and wake up and say screw it.
A few of those times I was planning to walk so I loaded up my 3 wheel cart the night before, then couldn't answer the bell and ended up unloading it.
We had a drunk 60 year old yell at us and then try to start a fight Saturday because we didn't walk far enough around a green being reseeded and I guess he's a member who took offense. Mind you, there's 4 of us who are all in good shape and he's 5'7 200 with a gut.
In all my years on the course I've never had so much as a raised voice from anyone under 50 but boomers are always ready to throw hands, it's so weird.
