Had to go see Bryan

I've tried to seem him for the past couple of weeks as I felt my game was in real trouble but just couldn't find a slot where we were both free. Finally got to see him today.

Explained what had been going on and he said if it happens again, just speak to him and not one of the range guys and he'll make room in his diary to see me. Which is really good of him.

So what did he say ?

My setup is all still good. Just need my right foot a bit squarer to the target line.

The main problem is I'm trying to take the club back too far and cocking my wrists too much, which then means I've got too much going on in my down swing to get the club-head back to where it needs to be.

So he's just got me swinging back until I feel resistance and stopping everything there. No forced rotation, stop my arms. Then simply drive my right shoulder through.

So Turn and Turn. Simple.

The way Bryan has described it is that as I have a muscular upper body (To much Weight Training) I'm not flexible enough to get the club into a traditional position. I need to use my upper body power to generate club head speed and not my arms and hands.

So it's about a 3/4 backswing, trying to keep a solid left wrist and then drive my right shoulder through.

Hit some really nice 7i's. The swing feels so simple and basic there is little that can go wrong. I just need to try to keep my arms and hands out of the swing.

He's advised me to watch some Ross McGowan swing videos as that's what he wants me to swing like.

He got me hitting some drivers, but had a real hard time getting my left wrist to stop bowing. He got out a wrist support to help me get the feeling, then got me ripping my drives as hard as I could just with body rotation. Man did they scream off the face.

But as soon as he took the wrist support off I really had trouble with the wrist again. Not bad enough to cause really terrible shots, they were all pretty good by recent standards, just could be prone to problems if I don't get a stronger left wrist.

Something to work on.

Not sure I'll play tomorrow. Might just go practice for a bit, then see how I get on in the comp on Sunday.

I'll take the camera and see if I can get some goo swing vids.
