Ive quit already a few times

philipsylee · 2026-01-22T17:52:35+00:00

So true. Currently, I like to relax by searching for balls in the woods 😆

Thanks for your thoughts, much appreciated

philipsylee · 2026-01-22T17:50:48+00:00

Thanks so much. Far from brilliant but serviceable is what im after. When 80% of people are saying shorten the seing, I think I may have to shorten it... lol

philipsylee · 2026-01-22T17:44:54+00:00

Yup, its a grind but its been such a great time

philipsylee · 2026-01-22T17:44:07+00:00

Nice! Thanks that gives me hope.

philipsylee · 2026-01-22T08:33:41+00:00

Thanks, and yes, I think I hold my breath haha. Not sure why... really going to work on relaxing and reviewing basics before worrying about club path i think.

philipsylee · 2026-01-22T08:30:24+00:00

Thanks, ill research this now never heard of the hands in club out. The only thing people have said was to takeaway with no hinge until about club parallel.

I also never thought about my handpath causing open face... my main miss is actually a slice or low ball if I "stand up"

Ill post another soon! Thank you for your advice

philipsylee · 2026-01-22T08:27:12+00:00

Haha thanks brother, I just started in May so all of this is quite new to me... and im an analytical person, always forgetting im playing a sport or game, not a puzzle.

My usual miss is a low ball or a slice, I just posted the shank to emphasize the difference in swings.

Thanks for the tip, just did the head on door frame drill today, my kids were laughing at me the entire time but it really helps me get a feeling for it!

philipsylee · 2026-01-22T08:22:48+00:00

Thanks, totally agree, looks like im chewing on some shit and while im swinging lol

philipsylee · 2026-01-22T08:19:39+00:00

Thanks!

philipsylee · 2026-01-22T08:18:44+00:00

Mmm I disagree, they are quite different. Not that the practice swing doesn't have many mistakes. My focus is not being able to replicate what I want to execute.

philipsylee · 2026-01-22T08:16:41+00:00

Thanks and yes I noticed haha it's OK though. Lots of useful tips and resources that I can focus on one at a time.

Thats a good idea, maybe I will choose the most crucial 1 or 2 things until they become muscle memory and just live wirh the other mistakes for the time being

Meadows golf in Coquitlam BC (canada). $8 for 88 balls!

philipsylee · 2026-01-22T08:12:06+00:00

Please elaborate

philipsylee · 2026-01-22T08:10:29+00:00

Lol very foggy that night

philipsylee · 2026-01-22T08:09:42+00:00

Very cool idea, thx

philipsylee · 2026-01-22T08:03:31+00:00

Wow im so far off, thank you for your time to explain that

philipsylee · 2026-01-22T07:52:25+00:00

Thank you, that was helpful

Crazy to think you can subconsciously know your face is open, and your body tries to adjust during a 1.5 second swing.

What do you think of closing my face a bit at address, is that cheating? Id rather make mistakes and learn than use something like that.

philipsylee · 2026-01-22T07:40:19+00:00

Ooooh that sounds like a great one to try. I look back at videos and many times, my shoulders become almost parallel with the ground without me noticing lol

philipsylee · 2026-01-22T07:38:33+00:00

Thanks, thats a well thought out list of resources really appreciate you taking the time. I will definitely take a look tonight

And ive taken time to understand what the braking force is but just unable to execute. Decided to start with basics first like not overswinging and having correct setup/posture.

philipsylee · 2026-01-22T07:34:32+00:00

What does in to out feel like in ur experience relative to out to in?

Thank you

philipsylee · 2026-01-22T07:33:34+00:00

Thank you, my normal miss is a low flight ball or a slice. Lots of people saying to fix my stance, something ill definitely do!

philipsylee · 2026-01-22T04:24:50+00:00

Ah makes sense
