Today, was lesson 6, (I think), because I didn't comment on last week's lesson because it was a complete disaster. Bruce was so frustrated last week that he changed the entire focus and we went inside and started from a different angle. Which I must say worked.
This morning I got up not feeling like doing nothing. I didn't want to get out of bed, and I didn't feel like going for my lesson today. But it turned out to be the best lesson yet!! I got more compliments from Bruce today then I ever, since I meet him almost two months ago.
He changed his focus from a full swing to a pitch. And what that means, is the stroke is short. It's like putting. I have found this to be much more comfortable and easier for me to maintain the stroke that he is looking for. And I am bending my wrist less on every strok.
The unique thing about Matt Swanson school of golf, is that during the lesson there is a swing analysis that records your swing and you can actually see what you are doing right and wrong. Really neat. I have attached a copy of the link for you to see, let me know what you think.

Today, we went out to the bunker, as they call it, and practiced my pitch, which is what I learned last week and what video is of. I must say that today was the first time I felt like I was learning game. All before, I wasn't sure if I was grasping this sport, but because Bruce is a pro golfer, and an excellent instructor, he came with a different approach and I think it's working. Also another factor is that I went out and practiced yesterday as well...yes on the 4th of July, I was at the driving range by 8:30 am! I promised myself that I have to get out and practice the game if I am going to get good at this or try and play with other people. So this week I need to practice at least twice before my next lesson on Friday.
