Nick Bradley wrote a book in 2005, “The Seven Laws of the Golf Swing” that teaches the laid off look at the top. The butt end of the club in this position is pointing at the target line.The toe or grip end always point to the target line during any point in the swing.I had a lesson several years ago where I was told the same thing, but was waylaid by reading to many books and magazines.

When I get back to the course next spring, I’ll be happy with consistently good shots.

Good point Ray when was the last time anyone saw Butch Harmon swing a club?

Also as far as things changing I will say that in theory not much has changed from 1.0 there are just answers to everything now.

That’s great stuff, Teacher. I’ve always appreciated the fact that you try the changes you promote on yourself first. Pretty rare in the industry.

BTW, the list of things you DIDN’T change is probably a lot shorter. =)

Way to go, pro. I had that shot about a month ago. I was 162 yards to a back pin, into a breeze and it was a bit chilly. I was going to hit 6-iron and then said to myself, “let’s start playing one club less today.” I grabbed the 7-iron, and like your shot, it just happened and the ball rocketed straight and true and stuck pin high, 8ft. right.

Then, I did it again last week. 210 yards, 48* and have to bend a 3-hybrid around a tree. Just stuck it to about 15ft.
When it happens, it is a beautiful thing.
Keep it comin’, bro.

WTG, Chuck!
I know that you must have been thrilled. I shot like that makes all the hard work and effort worth it. It is knowing that one can hit shots like that, that keep one’s interest up in working to improve. There have been times during a round when I have been ready to call it quits and then I manage to pull off a shot that is exactly what I have envisioned and is exactly what the situation calls for. It is a fantastic feeling! Again, congrats on the shot and the improvement. Keep it up!

CQ-since my work with you this past year seeing you twice and hard work, I have hit more perfect shots per round than in my 30 prior years of better scoring but worse ball striking.

I can relate to your joy as there is nothing like hitting a mid iron the perfect trajectory with no movement the exact distance and line which I labelled “silencer” (everyone in the group goes dead silent because the shot looks like it is going in!!!
