October 10 Progress in GolfJust want to write done the learning process I am having with my Golf. I will continue to update this thread.

I am hitting descending blow on my iron shots, it feels pretty good.
I now realize the key is, by doing wrist cock early, and keep my hands not too close to my body in the take away, I am make my swing plane more vertical, thus encouraging more descending blow.
Another thing I paid attention to was

I am learning Enie Els's swing, in take away, start wrist cock early. I found it's more natural for me. I am still trying to find the slot, most time when I feel comfortable with my take away, my swing is good. Some time my take away is still awkward for me, and then my swing is off. But it feels to me this is working for me. I hit some balls on range today, it's not bad. I was hitting descending blow on most of iron shots.

My swing feeling is gone completely suddenly. I played a round in Ivy Hill yesterday, it was aweful, I probably hit only one solid iron shot. Today I went to driving range, it was as bad as yesterday. Not sure what's happening, I just don't feel comfortable with my back swing any more. It seems that my takeaway is too inside.
Anyway, I booked a lesson with the Pro in the range next Saturday.
People say progress in golf is always back and forth. Let's see when I can get into the forward gear again.

Realized the importance of keeping my right heel stick to the ground at the moment of ball striking. In the past my right heel was way off the ground when I hit the ball, what it really means is my head was moving to the left side as I shift my weight to the left side in the downswing. That's a real killer of consistency. By keeping my right heel stick to the ground, I forced my head to stay behind the ball while getting my hip turn and shift left in the downswing. I hit some of my best 7,8,9 iron shots in the last two practice sessions on the range by just fixing this problem. ( in fact, I am not even sure if I have completely solved the problem, but the improvement I got was amazing already. I am going to take some video this weekend to how far away I am from fixing the problem completely. ) 08/19/07:
Learned one plane VS two plane swing theories online. I am a one planner. Understanding the theory helped me get my swing fundmental right. At least I am one step further in understanding what is the right swing to mimic. Of course, knowing what is the right swing is very different from creating the right swing myself, the latter requires a lot of body flexibiliby and strength.
Fixed my setup posture with suggestion from an instructor, my posture was way too upright.
