TGM advances lead to an "11" hcp index

But, Adjusted Address and the # 3 "pinch" and Angle Hinge via the Hula/Hula (Rocking Horse) got me a birdie, par, par, par, birdie, par boogie to shoot a 41. Then I was feeling froggy and started unleashing the Horizontal Hinge!

I never hit drives so pure in my life! Down the middle with a draw "on purpose!" I went into shock- boogie, par par, boogie, par, double, boogie, par, par for another 41! My sand shots were solid and on target and I figured out my chips in the end. Got greedy and three putted some fast greens!

Anyway, I won a few bucks and one of the owners said I was pretty lucky as of late. I told him that it was not luck as I had not turned in anything above an 85 in the last 6 rounds and I was just getting started.

What I did well- Played with myself and controlled the Angle and Horizontal Hinges for irons and drivers. Good sand shots aiming handle 2 inches in front of ball, and kept my chips in front of me.

What I did poorly- Punch out shots need to be safe shots to avoid high numbers and I need to shoot to the middle of greens for the ball to not bound away into trouble. Also, I need to get the longer putts within a few feet and not try to make everything.

The last couple weeks have seen my growth in a couple of important areas in my game and most rounds now find me stringing together 4-5 pars a side and experiencing only one triple or two double per nine holes. Lately though, I am eliminating those bigger numbers.

What I am doing well- I have started to "hit" chips and pitches with my RFT and then right forearm thrust and the results have been several sand saves ( pays 1$ on the Monday game ) and excellent 60 degree pitches and chips within 3-4 feet of the pin. This has really helped my score.

I also discovered old Moe Norman "Natural Golf" instructions where MOe's action looks very much like Paul Bertholy's "Magic Move, Lynn and Ben Doyle's "dragging the wet mop" move! I RFT then "keep my mind in my hands as I cover my front foot with both arms straight HOWEVER I LET THE PIVOT CARRY THE BACK ELBOW PAST THE BALL UNTIL THE PIVOT SNAPS THE CLUB DOWN! I realize Moe says different things but his RFT and power package with right elbow low are my moves after Impact Fix!

THE PIVOT PROPELS BOTH ARMS TO A STRAIGHT POSITION AT THE FRONT INSTEP (INNER CIRCLE TURNS OUTER CIRCLE)!!

I really concentrate in firing my bent right wrist to my front instep in a "downhill" short punch! I do it for all shots hitting the inner quadrant and my friends have noticed how much more solidly I am striking the ball! It almost feels like it is all right arm thrust except the left foot "plants" and then I fire the power package down at an angle !

This Martin Chuck video of "Tour Striker " fame (thanks Gerry and Kevin) really helps me.

What I am doing poorly- I need to shoot over trouble on a green or away from it. I have not improved to the point yet where I can pick a target out on a green and should just shoot to the middle! I NEED TO ALWAYS HIT THE INNER QUADRANT OF THE BALL! I also need either extensor action or pushing the left arm into RFT.
