Golf Dome Practice

Well it seems that the weatherman was off with respect to the temperature today. 3 degrees C. was to chilly to practice in the backyard.

Clayton called and said that him and his son Aiden were planning to go the Dome to hit balls and asked if I would be interested in doing the same. Well......of course I was into that.

The dome was busy and obtaining two mats side by side on the bottom deck was next to impossible. We elected to go upstairs and as it turns out it has much better lighting for using the video camera.

I worked on trying to keep my right shoulder moving through the downswing...as Nick had pointed out that I was stalling with the shoulder turn while my wrists released early. This is robbing my shots of potential power as it appears on video that my club face is moving the quickest before it gets to the golf ball. While it seems easy enough to get right I am finding it difficult to correct.

Today was my first time using the Swinkey and I set the two rods on either side of the ball pointing right of my target. The visual slot that this created really assisted me with the driver. When I keep the club head moving on the same path after ball contact it tends to send the ball out on a straight path. Nick suggested moving the ball further ahead in my stance when hitting the driver and by doing both of these things, I felt like I was hitting the ball hard.

I have to keep practicing hard because Aiden is definitely an up and comer.
