burgerman 0 Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 Sounds like DN got a good one from his pal. Keeping your arms in front of you a bit longer is a good idea if you've gotten too flat in your takeaway. It may be a good idea for DN to exaggerate this movement when he starts to hit balls since we generally only make about 50% of the adjustment we think we are making. I'll bet he sees immediate results.Go low --Burgerman P.S. In Las Vegas next for Frys.com Open Link to post Share on other sites

pokerlooper 0 Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Hey Burgerman,Remember the wager we had. Are you playing in the pro am? If I'm not working at cascata and you need a caddie, let me know. Maybe we can work something out. You can email me at stylin2334@aol.comLooper Link to post Share on other sites
Highlow16 0 Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 There is a tip like this in Harvey Penicks little red book. Also watched steve elkington hitting balls and he commented about always keeping the club "in front of you". Hes got one of the prettiest swings ever Link to post Share on other sites

He gave me a drill to work on and three swing thoughts:1. Stand Up taller (I crouch too much over the ball)2. Your head DOES go back, then forward, just not up and down.3. The Wall Drill. Stand up straight against a wall. Take one step forward. Now swing the club without ever touching the wall. Link to post Share on other sites

His glasses are not.Very cool though to have Rocco in your bagHope that Rocco gets out of Daniel's bag, otherwise, Daniel won't have any place to put his golf clubs. Just kidding. Rocco is a very cool guy and he's fun to hang with. Link to post Share on other sites
AdiZ 0 Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 The wall drill is very good, my trainer showed it to me about a year ago, worked fine, but you have to commit to it, and dont switch to your old swing when your on the course.Just remember to get your shoulders turned right, its so FREAKIN important, thats my biggest problem now, and if you dont get it inside your head when you start playing golf, you are going to have serious problem after a few years.

pokerlooper 0 Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Daniel,Ten mins with me and Ill fix your game. You need a caddy telling you what to do. I took out a europeon pro out the other day and he shot the course record 64. Ive fixed a lot worse players game in less time. Come play cascata. Phil and Barry were out there about a week ago, they loved it. By the way, Phil's ride is off the hook. Other guests were taking pictures of it.CheersPokerLooper Link to post Share on other sites
