I have been working with the Alignment dvd's. 1) Flying wedges 2) Taly device 3) Right forearm magic 4) straight plane line 5) 2-d plane that club "leans on through swing" 6) back elbow controlled putting ( I have hit the hole and bounced out at least 20 times this Spring. The precision and power of the putt, even on top-dressed greens with 2" of sand is amazing.) 7) Vertical hinge chips and pitches with my lob wedge everywhere (I make the weddges mechanically, aim the clubface like a howitzer, and, let the distance tell me how long the stroke should be.) Left forearm rotation to the top folowed by a horizontal or angled hinge. 9) When I get confused, I pull up with my right arm and drive my back hip (I am about to start rotating to the hitting position, planting, and horizontal/angle hinging the ball until I punture the cover.) OOOOOOBABY OOOOBABYOOOOO! Discounting my last 9 holes at 38 degrees/cold drizzle/top-dressed greens and 30 mph winds with 22 putts for a 50, I have posted a 46, 45, 43,43, and a 42 (which should've been a 39). My club hcp was 21 leaning to 22 at the end of last season. Anytime you want to play, let me know. I have a reg Saturday 4-some but any Sunday will work.

(or at least I hope so)I am considering purchasing the Brian Gay video, but I am not sure if I am better off spending the money on the maybe "the address routine" or just ordering the "Alignment Golf" DVDs? __________________ HP, grant me the serenity to accept what I cannot change, the courage to change what I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
