Sorry,
All I saw was "Minnesota Beer Fund Account."

I have a problem that I have to conguer if I'm to move on in G.O.L.F.

I have covered a lot of material since March of this year in hopes of discovering a "perfect fit" that would maximize my physical gifts and ignore my physical limitations. My emotional problems, well, God alone can sort those out.

I have discovered several combinations of components that work to some extent.

Swinging works for me as indicated by scoring multiple 41's when I committed to those components while competing.
1) TSP
2) Horizontal Hinge for driver and long clubs, angle hinge for everything else
3) Impact fix
4) Roll back hip back steadily w/EA
5) send # 4 pp back up steadily w/EA
6) stable head

I drive the ball so well, even using a 3/4 swing speed that I stay in every hole. 75% of swing force applied correctly helped me shoot 6 over on our back 9, today. Feeling the heaviness of the putter really worked, too.

The front nine was a disaster at a 49. When I got my hip back I tried to drive my shoulder down but came OTT. It wasn't until posting on the front leg that my Ott disappeared.

Ok, the good news: first time ever I have had three consecutive
"9's" sub 45 (41, 42, 44). Yesterday was my personal best of 6 pars in a round. Today, I had 7 pars.

It was also ok that I had 10 GIR's for the first time in my life. Bad news: I was 3 over for those 10 holes!

I burned lots of edges and did not make any putts over 10'. My chipping game was not strong and I snap hooked (because I tried my HHinge at the wrong place in my stance (made two triple bogies).

How did I do it? I started on the driving range getting my hip back with the marching exercise and using pp# 4 to reverse. Felt very solid with plenty of distance (thanks, Daryl). I saw that we were playing our White 9 with 3, 200 + yards shots to the green. So, I tried about 10 EA dominated primary levers. I ripped them straight, dead on line.

What does that mean? I let my left arm be completely limp and traced the base line of the plane (BLP) forever. I brought my left arm to my chin ramrod straight with lots of elbow bend. I kept my head down, except for two holes and extended my elbow to the BLP! Uhmm, no pivot because my left leg is shorter by 1.5 inches than my right and my RFT actually pushes me forward a bit as my hip goes back! (I owe this to insights from my GSEB, John Savage who showed me the "straightness" of the RFT, to Kevin and Jerry who hammered me with RFT, to Daryl and OB, who only give me about one major insight regarding something in TGM daily, and to Yoda's DVD that showed me the yellow stretch band and lifting my left arm up on the DVD.)

I am thankful, and I'm breaking 80 tomorrow one way or another.

I had two drive over 280 yards, on purpose! I simply lowered my tee ball to only 1/2 inch above the driver! I was 5 yards short of our 535 yard par 5 after my second shot. Missed an eagle chip when it hit the pin (first ever eagle chance) and bounced 10 feet away. The birdie putt fell an inch short. We won $23 which went to my Minnesota beer fund account!
