Ben Hogan Came to Me in a Dream
OK, not really, it was a YouTube video.
Over the last two weeks, I’ve practice several times. Though my short game continues to improve, my ball-striking has not. I ran into Alan Niederlitz at the Golden Bear Golf Center and he diagnosed my swing: casting. That dreaded casting move had gotten back into my swing. That afternoon, I came home and read some articles I’d bookmarked, and found again the Hogan video. Finally, I understood how I’m supposed to swing. I went back to the range that night and tried to incorporate Ben’s downswing into mine. It’ll be a long grind to get it imbedded in my swing, but now, for the first time, I can feel what the swing is supposed to be.
