Hello again,
On
the 24th April 2013 I had my second lesson with Darren. In the lesson we
covered the correct stance at address. I tend to stand with my legs square to
the ball but my upper body slightly twisted open which can cause
the ball to slice. The simple correction which Darren showed me was to
stand upright with my arms out in front of me whilst holding my club then lean forward to address
the ball. This way you make sure your whole body is square at address.
He also took a video on his smart phone using an
application called "Iswing".
He showed me the video and slowed it down to one frame at a time which was quite
impressive. I liked the app so much I downloaded it on to my smart phone to use
in the future.
Next we talked about statistics and keeping a record of how
many drives hit the fairway, how many
greens I hit in regulation , and how many putts I take for each hole. I
know most people find this stuff boring
but it's necessary and important
to find where the weak part of your game is so you can focus on it. I
got on the computer and devised a chart in an Excel spreadsheet which I made
the same size as a score card. I now carry this chart with me in my score card
holder when I play . It only takes a few
seconds after each hole to fill it in. I next went on the internet looking for
an application to enter the data into. I found a site called www.golfforensics.com which I definitely recommend. I had to
register as you do all these sites but it was free so no problem. Once
registered I could input the course I had played and it brings up a score card of
the course and all you do is fill in the boxes. It gives you all sorts of
data which I will show Darren so he can
analyze it and hopefully point out were
I need to concentrate my game. My next lesson is on the 22nd of May and I'll
let you know how I get on.
Cheers
Mel
