I’m disappointed not to be playing in my monthly medal today. I had to pull out late. Sadly, there was just too much to fit into the proverbial pint pot, what with daughter going here, wife going there. That the trouble with owning only one car and living only one life.
But I’m delighted with the way things are going with the Knightsbridge Golf School book. We’re getting towards the end of the planned text and I’ll hopefully squeeze in a couple of hours of writing this afternoon.
I shall be going over the interview with Dave Wilkinson again, the one where he explains how to inject more power into your swing. Without going into too much detail – I’m only on my first coffee of the day, after all – it’s all about the core, pressure, connection, leverage and sequence. Which, of course, makes no sense unless it’s explained.
But, the more I listen to Dave, the more it makes total sense. Having got this far, four months in, I feel my swing has been largely re-aligned. Now it needs refining, and tightening, and stabilising, so that it will stand up to having more power fuelled through it. I tried it the other day, with good results, but I'm still only doing things half right and three-quarters wrong.
The other chapter I need to write up is the short-game session with Dave Lamplough. Which has nothing to do about power. Oddly, though, the two are inter-related. By looking hard at my chipping technique, Dave has highlighted faults (I never knew it was possible to pack in so many errors into such a short swing!) which, once corrected, will feed into me hitting the ball better in the long game as well.
Refining, tightening, stabilising. So that’s my Saturday sorted. Along with driving my daughter here and my wife there.
