My camcorder arrived last week, I am going to take it to the range this afternoon and shoot my swing.

 

2007 is 2/3 over, and I have not broken 100 in my golf, the hope of breaking 90, which is my most passionate goal in my 2007 new year resolution list, is diminishing very quickly.  I am still hopeful of achieving my goal, at least getting closer to it, but realize I need to work harder/smarter if I want to get there. Thus I bought the camcorder.

 

I've made some good progress in the recent couple weeks though. I've learned that my setup stance was too upright. However, I thought the spine angle at setup should be the same for all different clubs till Pan mentioned that they should be different a couple days ago. I searched on internet and found very helpful information. Apparently, since the length of clubs vary a lot from the longest driver to the shortest wedge, one needs to make some adjustments on the setup posture. I found a good article in a forum that talked about different styles of making this adjustment, see the link:

I will go try out the Aaron Baddeley approach, which is varying spine angle for different clubs with different length. It feels to me this should fit well with my one plane swing.

 

Golf is such a complicated game although it looks so simple on the surface. I am still at the entry level trying to figure out what the right swing is, yet I've already learned so many intricacies in the past one year timeframe since I started the game. This would be a challenge for me for years to come. I know I am probably not physically strong enough to be really good on this, but I am confident that I can be reasonablly good at it. I will probably stop pursuing improving my golf when I get around 80s.

 

This is one of many things I need to achieve before I go back to China..... I am expecting numerous frustrations along the way.... :P
