Round at Miccosukee Aug 4 2017

Played micossukee today. Played the Marlin front nine and dolphin back nine. Struggled with going staright and right and day. Striking ofd the turf also not there yet. Had multiple balls in the water and couldn't do much 60 yards and in off the rough. Did hit it long and one went 310 off th driver and the 3 wood averaged about 250. Putting was average but couldn't capatalize on birdie opportunities. Didn't feel like I trusted getting the club parallel at t the top so suffered all day long.

Practice Aug 3 2017

Got in 80 balls at Jacaranda golf club. Working yet again on divot after ball. Ball striking was hot and miss on 7 iron with a lot of thin shots. Sand and 9 were much better. Still not getting the divot after the ball but mainly at the ball or just being. Finding that weight shift to the right leg is key as I focus on getting to the front side on the downswing. Driver and 3 wood were solid contact but especially on driver developing a hook probably because new angle coming down as I get the club more parallel then before at the top.

Watching Spieth and noticing a bowed left arm and his unusual release. Almost looks like a chicken arm but not quite.

Practice Aug 2 2017

Continuing to work on divot after ball and getting club more parallel as the the top. For some reason I'm still right at the top and can't get more parallel when I put the ball down and hit it. On practice swings I can. Need more reps. Overall hitting the ball flush. On drivers and wood I was just killing it with center face strikes. With sand wedge still a little fat. More work to do. Did a little putting after the session to stay honest. Can't wait for my next round. Three videos below are 7 iron, driver and 3 wood.

Practice

Working at home with the mirror to get the club more parallel at the top. Convinced that will help reduce over the top swings.
