I want to come back down- Perhaps in the Fall, give myself 8 weeks or so of drilling---
thanks Man- what a difference!

Lynn, I finally really figured out the "pointing at a cup and reaching for it" analogy for Hitting!

I am pursuing the Atkins diet and have lost 7 pounds now in about 10 days and had a crisis on the course yesterday! I couldn't find my pot belly to hurl it into my swing. I also have been fatigued by my body starting the changeover from burning carbs to burning protein. I was lost without a clue!

So I dragged myself to the range today and thought about how much lighter I feel and started to move my feet and knees!

Before I knew it I was cracking some 240'sh yard range ball drives concentrating on moving my knees to the ball and vertically un-cocking my left wrist and my aim was solid.

I was overjoyed and so I overdid it with two large buckets (about 200 balls)! As I neared the end of the second batch I really got tired and was soaked with the Mid-Atlantic humidity. I thought about reaching for the cup or in this case, the ball. I teed one up, RFT'd, and stretched out my right forearm and hand to the ball.

250 yards and straight down to the end of the range with a big 'whoosh!!!" LMAO!

The remaining 20 balls went the same way with hybrids, wedges, and irons as well as the driver! I pulled out a scuffed NXT S from Saturday and put it into the woods past the 250 marker on the fly!

Sometimes, I am very dense but sometimes, I'm not!!!

Thanks Lynn for the diet tips!
