This morning I book My Flights my flights are in 2 days time on Thursday night so I’m getting into joerg Friday morning around 11:30 um my tournament next week is at reading Golf Club here somewhere in Joe buug and that is Monday to Wednesday so

When I get there on Friday I’ve got sort of like Friday afternoon Saturday and Sunday to get ready for this tournament as well as the next two days here in England so I’m thinking the best way for me to use my time wisely is for the next two days I’m going to be

Hitting just an outrageous amount of golf balls just really trying to just dial in the the swing stuff that I’m trying to do plus do as many sort of like wedge Test games I can as soon as it get to Joe bug I’m going to do lots

Of short game work so putting drills I haven’t really been able to practice pting at all for well since I was in South Africa last year so lots of work on the p and green just the standard stuff which we going to next week when I get there short game work and then

Playing lots of holes over there getting used to the altitude getting ready for the getting used to the fact that it’s not 8° and pissing it down with rain I can actually wear a T-shirt and swing freely at 30° I hate to say it I know

It’s uh I don’t want to like rub it in but it is like 30° over there at the moment which is going to be quite nice so yeah I feel like that’s probably the best way to spend my time two days of just loads of golf balls on the Range um

I think the course is pretty much going to be shut for the next two days anyway and then we get to Joe bug get ready for the conditions out there and do lots of short game work and then we’ll be ready to roll Monday for the first tournament

I’ve got two tournaments over there two J not jiga tours two bushveld tours first week I’m there then a week off then one on the last week so this is why we’re going there to try and try and get in there and get involved I’ve got also

Got a little update before I’m not going to Rattle on in the car too much I’ll probably talk about some of the stuff I’m working on swing wise in a minute I’ve got an update on the old profit and loss for 2024 and unfortunately it’s not

It’s not a great one so Tournament entry uh I think it was 190 for the alliance last week we got third place in the team event on the last day I got 60 quid for that so that is a net loss of for that event of 130 quid meaning for

2024 we are now 15 in the green it is what it is this is tournament prep this isn’t tournament season it’s not about earning the big bucks yet so just like move back and through this looks a bit dodgy looks a bit suspect I said at the start of this

Year I’m going to try and make I’m going to try and I’m going to try and just have a golf game that is repeatable um consistent and the one that my worst golf when I’m really struggling swing wise I can still get it around and I

Actually managed to do that a few times this year so I played at East Devon in a tournament and I shot one under par and um I hit it really well didn’t P very well but then I played at saon a week later shot level par on the East

Course which is a tough Golf Course um level par is always a good score there and I swung it like what I’m going to say badly cuz on the day my feel wasn’t producing sort of like the ball flight or the outcome that I was hoping for or

That I’ve been trying to work on I probably spent a few years like trying to get my golf swing in a perfect spot and I wasn’t really exactly sure why I was doing that I was like well maybe aesthetically it should look a certain way but if you actually

Look at pretty much if you just look at watch PJ tour you just see like a massive variation in golf swings but they all sort of like know how their swing Works they all know how their Body Works they all know what moves work for

Them and that’s we see I guess like the matchup so some have funky positions but it will work because they do something else sort of like everything together and I know how my body works I know that like my hips move really quick and I’ve always had that and I’m never really

Going to be able to slow them down like my hips move quick I’m not I’m not very good at sort of like getting into the floor and holding my position there even though it’s something that I’m slowly trying to build in my hips move really quick and I struggle to like really get

Into the floor and to move you know like I guess like the ganker style of coaching what you get into the floor and you do this and blah blah blah like I shallow the club well but I struggle to stop my hips going real quick so if I get the club

In here inside or quite low what most people would call perhaps like on plane like flat on plane because the way my hips move I’m always going to struggle because they’re always going to outrace my hands are always going to be too deep and then it’s always going to be a

Timing issue because I’m having to then flip the club to try and get the club on the ball and that’s really hard to consistently produce so what I’m working on is for starters it’s like a right elbow thing I can never let my right elbow go

This way go deep because when my right elbow goes deep and my hips go quick that right elbow is behind me and I’m stuck and I’m just absolutely screwed so I’m working on keeping the right elbow out in front and also getting this club head to work slightly outside the line

So it’s probably looking like on the on the Steep side cuz if I can get the club slightly outside the line and the right elbow out in front of me what that would do is it will allow me a lot of a lot of a lot of

Time here as soon as I go there and the hips go quick I’m stuck but if I’m out here and the hips go the club’s still in front of me and I can deliver it to the golf ball so I’m sort of playing with my Tendencies and what I do and I’m trying

To build something that is the easiest way of me just moving a golf ball from A to B um I’m also trying to trying to get to a point where I’m just hitting a cut even though probably like if I just hit it I would hit a draw but the reason that I

Prefer that cut feeling is because my hips go so quick if when you’re hitting drawers unless you’re hitting drawers where you like stay down on it and there’s sort of like a quite a bit of connection with the body um it’s very hard for me need to consistently produce um basically consistently get

The club in the right place to not get stuck so it makes more sense for me to try and get this cuty move where the club’s slightly outside the right elbow’s up in front of me and then from there my hips can go nice and quick and

Then all I’m focusing on is just basically my hands have like an interaction with the club head and I’m just trying to feel like that club Ed just stays really passive so it’s like Club out in front right elbow high and it just gets dropped down into this

Position and then a really really passive Club head where I’m just feeling like I’m holding it off and I’m holding it off of every single Club so the club face is fairly controlled just hit one rather than RAB itting On the the other thing I’m trying to slowly like move into my game is where I go with my weight so I have a tendency to sit back and flip and I don’t get really like I don’t post into my left side if that’s the correct terminology I

Don’t get into my left side and then push up and off from there I have the tendency to flip and then sort of get stuck a bit which is why I always used to struggle like stay on balance so I’m slowly and this is something I’ll do in

Practice only I’m slowly trying to feel like I’m just getting into that left side and that again makes it easier for the hands to come in front and to hold the face as soon as you start pushing early you’re going to throw the hands a bit so that slowly moving that into the

Swing is just helping quite a bit so that’s really all I’m trying to focus on at the moment when I’m on the golf course all I focus on is hands connected to the club face and it’s more like a path and face thing right I’m just

Trying to feel like the path’s there and I’m holding the face so you so it’s like the most simple feel when I’m on the Range I’ll be like do lots of rehearsals I’m trying to get the club in the right place trying to get out here and I’m

Trying to get the weight onto the left side but I’ll spend it like a bit of my practice doing that and then I spend a bit of practice going into actual OnCourse mode so it’s yeah that that’s sort of like a a summary um that’s where we are

With it right now and that’s quite a lot of detail and it probably sounds like I’m like if that sounds like there’s too much going on there’s completely not it’s like the most simple couple things ever is getting into the left side and it’s keeping the arms in front of me cuz

My hips move really quick so I’m working around what I’ve got and uh yes it’s it’s working really well I’m really starting to get some consistency in my ball striking um which which is is the key to the game so you make some money just try and be a

Consistent ball Striker your bad days aren’t horrific that’s sort of where I’m trying to work towards that’s that’s my Feels
