Losing it
I haven't commented on my golf achievments lately and I am sorry to say - I haven't had any. From being consistenly scoring 36-38 pts stableford, I now have dropped to 29-32. My hcp is going up again. I'm slicing and probably OTT again. No short game magican either, allthough my bunker play has improved. I believe my timing is off and I have too much shoulder activity in the downstroke not sustaining the lag, throwouts etc. I believe the LW is flat though, but that's not enough to get the round going.
Sorry, that I can't contribute with any success history. I don't know why it 's so difficult for me. Old dog - new tricks syndrome? We had deserved better - Yoda and I...
...
Three weeks later:

We have a 18 holes old boys tournament each Wednesday here at my home course. The last two times I have got 37 and 38 pts, so my hcp is down 1,2. I'm actually not satisfied, making a lot of bad shots, but it's much better than last year - as aspected. But it should have been even better. Today I failed twice with a short basic motion chip shot. I have to do these things much better....but nevertheless: it's slowly going the right way for the first time in 7-8 years...

Air,
Can you go to the range and make a shot that draws and hooks and ends up at your end target?

If so, what did you change in order to hook the ball?

In all honesty I think I have to say no to your question. My best shots are straight or with a litte fade - I'm not making any draws or hooks. I'm probably not rolling my left wrist/arm enough to manage these types of shots..and making too much of a cut shot against my will...

Be careful Air. It all starts out very innocently with golf questions. Then he starts calling at odd hours of the night, pretending to be a long lost relative that needs a place to stay for the evening. After that, you will making more than "too much of a cut shot" against your will .

Air,
that's why I have chosen you - you are the perfect "candidate" - anyway - never mind that chatter from drewit, it's important to understand that he's only posting to keep his post count ahead of mine. What I'm suggesting is that you go to the range and see if you have the ability to create a draw shot and a hook shot, and also note what it took for you to create those shots - and report back.

I would gladly note what happened when and if it happened, but it's not happening so far...
