Well had my first lesson yesterday and came out of it a little frustrated. He basically said my swing was sound however he wanted to see me adjust a few minor things that would improve my accuracy.

The first adjustment was with my grip. On my right hand I typically placed my index finger down the top of the shaft. He said he could see that at the top of my swing I was pinching the club shaft which then twisted the shaft slightly on my downswing. He wants it to be more relaxed. This was easy to correct for me.

Next change was that on my back swing I'm moving my body backwards putting my weight on my back foot. This one is giving more trouble but I know he's correct. I guess this is just going to take me more time to correct but I was frustrated after hitting two jumbo buckets it still was difficult to me and was causing me to not make good contact. I think I need to relax and just work on this more. I think I'm just being too tough on myself as I'm sure it'll all come together.

Next was my head. Due to moving my weight back as well as not following through with my hips all of the time my head is bouncing all over the place. This like the body movement is driving me nuts. I know it's just going to take more time and luckily for me time I have.

I just need to get the thought out of my head that after one lesson I'm going to be perfect. I just set some unrealistic goals for myself and need to relax a little. Once I start hitting the ball badly I start swinging for the fences rather than just relaxing.


Lesson #2 next Thursday. We are going to start working on putting and a little chipping
