More on the No Backswing

4-01-09:

Worked w/ the NBS a bit this morning.

There's always the fear that I've somehow lost the swing I've discovered during the last session. And it seems my first several swings are not that good.

I've found that it helps to get into a baseball frame of mind; to stand erect and take a few baseball swings to refamilarize myself with the right motion.

After going through this startup proceedure I'm soon in the groove and able to concentrate on the back of the ball/coin with the thought of driving it the target.

I'm also trying to keep my arms relaxed and experimenting with snapping my wrists. It probably takes about 20 swings to get grooved in, but after that I think I'd be hitting about 2/3 shots the way I want to.

I think I'm making steady progess keeping my eye on the ball as well. I'm going to need to figure out a routine to get into the groove on the course before hitting my first drive.

One of these days I'll have to take a few swings with the six iron.
