Results were good. The feel was quite different from my normal swing. I took it to the grounds. On the first hole I hit a 300 yard drive (best ever on that hole), a SW to 8 feet and made the putt. Other than the putt I employed the down-and-out and thought I'd changed my game forever. (This was only the third time I've birdied this particular hole. It is not easy. And starting the round with a birdie is alwas great. So. Did I go on to birdie every hole? Nope. Not even a PB But I definietely saw benefit. One of my issues have been excess lateral movement on the downswing. Employing the down-and-out virtually eliminated it. Worked great as a key for me. Thanks for sharing, Lee! __________________ When James Durham recorded 94 at the Old Course at St Andrews in 1767, he set a course record that lasted 86 years.
