TGC19

Golf lessons really do help . . .20 years later.    I had a golf lesson weekend in Lake Geneva a few decades ago and the instructors (there were like 5 of them) stressed that they would not FIX our game but show you how to fix issues LATER in life. 

The take away was that a lesson is great short term but most people would go back to their normal problems over time. They gave each person a few things to TRY to remember about their particular issues for when things went belly up with their game.

WELL - I was having issues getting off the tee earlier in the year and the one thing I remember was they said I needed to flatten my swing if I started slicing.  "If you start to slice you need to flatten your swing".

My issue is that when I swing my driver in a more vertical arch I loose my hips and become all arms.  Flattening makes me move my hips more. Last week was my first try (again) on a flatter swing and it seemed to work for the most part but last night it felt more comfortable as I hit 5 of 7 fairways for my 2nd 45 in a row at The Oaks and that included an "8" on one par 4.  happy!

What happens is with a flatter swing I swivel my hips and my timing is MUCH better as my hips start to rotate towards the target BEFORE my club starts towards the ball.  Plus I need to have my club head speed, on all my shots, increase as I hit the ball.

The "swing easy" is BS in my book.  I try to hit the shit out of the ball every time. If I swing easy I open up and the ball slices.

With that said. For any gamers out there that love golf  . . .I have been playing TGC and TGC2 every day on TGC Tours and a new iteration of TGC is coming out soon called TGC19??

TGC  has the best ball dynamics of any game out there and if you want "realism" in a virtual golf game this is the one to get. The developers came out with a sneak peak.  Boring for most but for golfers pretty freaking cool.

EA sports makes Tiger Woods and Rory but those are basically arcade games.

Liberals are all in a tiff about a few tea party Republicans trying to impeach Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, Not going to happen. The bill was introduced but not signed.  Move on to another wind mill to chase.

I wish there was a chiropractor in Columbus that took Quartz (Unity).  I have one I don't really love in Sun Prairie but my lower back has been hurting for a couple weeks now.  Can't seem to shake it.  I had one FANTASTIC Chiro in Columbus but he closed up shop.  SAD.

Going to be cold coming up - anything below 80 is cold in my book.   I don't see 80 in the forecast until at least NEXT Friday.  Off and one tiny rain chances every day but nothing major. Temps in the lower or mid 70s. Below normal.

There seems to be a duck day care going on in Minnesota as this mama duck had over 70 ducklings trailing her.
