Changes in my swing.

I have recently attempted to address my golf swing issues as I was once again in "what am I doing wrong?!@#!" land for about 2 rounds. It was after this second round that I went home to take my usual after round nap on Sun. that I popped on the Golf Channel to see the Medicus commercial that is on 75% of the time on that station.

I watched the show for about 1/2 an hour and realized that I was bringing my arms up much too vertical in my back swing and the club was over the back of my head/neck. The commercial showed me the mistake by watching how the medicus forces the swing to get "on plane" by taking a wider/slower back swing and keep the club at it's peak about over your shoulders. This causes the club to take less of a downward plane and no overcorrection is needed for solid contact.

This coupled with a strong grip and a decent turn had me drop in the low 80's from low 90's in one practice round... Not to mention my first drive off the tee was 15 feet off the green (about 330 yards) for a chip and a putt birdie 3... Hopefully I can keep it together, stay tuned.
