Finally, finally, finally got dowels+a hinge assembly this winter.

Followed LB's instructions on hinges.

And Right Forearm Pick Up.

And PP#3.

Couldn't swing a club due to torn elbow tendon.

Finally started hitting little chips 2 months ago.

Felt the club load onto PP#3.

Hit down.

Fat. Fat. Fat.

Back to the book.

Fog lifted - didn't have my left thumb down aft side of club.

Adjusted grip.

Started taking truer divots on 2 ft chips then I ever did with a full swing.

Experimented with hinges (well, to the best of my understanding).

Angled hinge - chips were a bit higher, softer.

Horizontal hinge - chips were a bit lower, flatter trajectory.

And almost every chip had a distinctive sound and feel.

Played yesterday for the first time in 3 yrs.

Went 44 on the front/44 on the back.

Not a world class course, but fairly legit - 6500 yds/126 slope.

And was off my career best by 7 strokes.

Now I have to figure out the other 98% of the book I don't understand.

But once the fog lifts enough to see and hear a true, 3D golf stroke - you have confidence you can keep fog lifting.

Thanks for all the hard work you've put in Lynn, much appreciated.
