Good morning Shawn, 49 year golfer here single digit for most of that time. Was diagnosed with eye cancer
about 10 years ago, treated with radiation, still have some vision in the right eye (formerly dominate eye). Resulted in complete devastation of my game (anything less than a full swing) as I have lost depth perception. As long as I could avoid have pitch shots, lobs or sand shots I could scrap it around in the high 70’s to low/mid 80’s. After a week or 2 of working on your content, letting the club fall, not driving the hips,
focusing on the little patch of grass below the back of the ball with the good eye and following thru with the club going to the target, I had a very pleasing 10 fairway, 12 green 74 (almost shooting my age of 73) a couple of days ago.
I am looking forward to even better play as I smooth out the rough edges of getting accustomed to your method of swinging the club. Thanks, Don
Very good! The brain is an amazing problem solving machine when you have the proper task in mind!
Keep up the great work!
Shawn
Seems to me that Brooks Koepka must have a bunch of “modern golf” witchdoctors angry because he doesn’t pound balls and hardly practices. He says when he’s playing his best he doesn’t even remember his round. Talk about a guy who has discovered that focusing on the target is the path to scoring. IOW exactly what Shawn has been telling us for years. When I look at his swing it looks to me like he is simply throwing the club the way Shawn instructs. He could actually hit it better if he used the ground better, shocking thought.
Byron Nelson was the same way! Drove Hogan Nuts!
I caught myself trying to force the downswing which was causing misses left and right. So today I just let it fall, and I stopped trying help myself with a hip/leg thrust. Boom. Nice and straight. I am getting huge distance now, hope it continues. I guess you have to give up control to get control.
Aaaahhhh! That deep breath was just released and the wisdom just poured into your system…
SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!! You just found your path of least resistance and now just keep walking down that path and let’s see what happens; can’t wait!!
Congrats man, Shawn
Bliss on a stick! Love it.
Hi Guys,
Anyone can answer this question…
When talking about the Dandelion stem, where are we picturing it? Is the ball itself the stem? (so we cut through half way down the ball?) Is the entire ball the top or “flower” of the Dandelion, so the stem is completely underneath the ball? (ball sitting on stem)? Do we see the entire ball as both the stem and the flower together? So maybe 3/4 of the way down the ball is where the stem starts? This one has always gotten me….I love the analogy, just trying to make sure I know what I’m doing.
Thanks in advance! Love this stuff!
The ball is the dandelion bulb and the stem is in the center of the ball growing at grass level under it;
Shawn
Thank you!
Shawn, I too have had trouble visualizing the dandelion stem. I had been thinking cutting the stem at bottom of ball. That led to some fat shots. Last session I thought about the middle of ball being the stem like you mentioned but had to find a place to park the eyes so I started using the last dimple at the very backside of the ball I could see. It seemed to really help me get flush contact. Using this as a visual, then focusing instead on cutting through the stem at the middle of ball would be like thinking cutting the ball in half like the bamboo shoot with an effortless whip. Does that logic check?
Dave
That will work Dave! The key is the focus on the action and not the spot you are looking at; just like you said; you park the eyes on the back of the ball but you focus on the task and the feel and sound of it. Way to go!
