re: Releasing clubs through impact
Posted by Legal Hog on 4/23/25 at 1:53 pm to SkiUtah420
Check your alignment first. If your feet/body are closed to the target, then releasing the club becomes very difficult. Hit a few shots on the range, feeling like your feet/body are more open than usual. Even if it turns out not to be an alignment issue, generally, being slightly open to the target makes releasing the club easier and should help with the hooks.
As for the casting/scooping. Two swing thoughts I have found helpful in the past. 1. Feel your weight shift to the inside of your back foot in the backswing and then into the front foot as you start your downswing. Not getting your weight forward will almost always cause an over-the-top/scoop swing. 2. On your downswing, feel like your body is turning behind the club into impact. Another way to put it is to feel like your hands/club are getting to the ball before your body.

Usually, I would say, go to the highest ranked school you can get into in the state you want to live in after law school. The one exception would be attending a lower-ranked, well-regarded law school within the state because a scholarship makes it worth it. However, if your child wants to practice big law in NY, their best bet is to attend a T14 law school, or the highest ranked school they are accepted to, and then consider getting an LLM from a higher ranked school after graduating. It's not impossible to work in big law in NY without graduating from one of the T14, but doing so makes it much more manageable.
re: Putting Distance Control
Posted by Legal Hog on 8/7/24 at 2:03 pm to SlippinJimmy
Before the round, find a flat spot on the putting green and walk 10 paces from the hole. Hit 3-10 balls at that hole until you are comfortable with the pace. Then, do the same thing at 15 paces and 20 paces. Takes less than 5 minutes. During the round, when you are pulling out the flag stick or walking to your ball, count how many paces it is from the hole to your ball, and that will give you an excellent reference point to start. If you are struggling with pace on distance putts because of your stroke, then concentrate on only using your shoulders to swing the putter (keep your hands and wrist out of the stroke). Keep the putter low on the way back and low on the way through.
re: Currently I have a driver, 2 hybrid, and then 5 iron

The accuracy difference between a Driver and a Fairway Wood is only about 3-4 percent. You may also be giving up some forgiveness with a Fairway Wood. I would try to find proper gapping in those clubs and have a club that you can get in the air and stop for long par 4's and par 5's.
re: Grip Size - Your Thoughts
Posted by Legal Hog on 10/25/23 at 10:01 am to GeauxTigers0107
I tried midsize grips for about a year and initially had success with them, but at some point, my hands began to change from a strong grip to a weak grip. At that point, I switched back to normal grips and found it much easier to maintain the strong grip I prefer. I find it easier to control the ball with a strong hand grip rather than changing the size of your grips. I can have a hold-off feeling at impact and hit straight/baby fade shots, and to hit a tight draw, I feel like I am releasing the club through impact.
Agree with some of the other advice, but will add something I do before every round that helps me, especially if I have not played in a while. Before the round walk off 10 paces, 15 paces, and 20 paces from a flag on the flattest part of the putting green and work on finding good speed from those distances. Having good speed will give you a lot more confidence in choosing your line and hitting your line. You can even walk off the distance from your ball to the hole during your round and then think back to what that stroke felt like on the putting green.

re: Pre Swing Thoughts
Posted by Legal Hog on 6/1/23 at 3:52 pm to ViceGolfer
Before I get over the ball its wind, shot shape, etc.
Then I take a couple of practice thinking about the shot shape and my normal swing thoughts (low and slow on the way back, good full turn on the way back, and attacking the ball from the inside).
Finally, when I am over the ball I just lie to myself and my last thought before swinging is to think "you're an athlete be athletic" or "you're better than anyone on this golf course." None of which is true, but I have found that these confident/egotistical lies to myself erase bad thoughts and help me swing with confidence.
