PEI 13 for pitching wedge

I feel like a pro!

Just tested the first time my PEI and it's impressive 13%. Shooting 10 balls from 70 meters the average distance to the hole was under 9 meters. Every ball would have stayed on the green!

Well this was under practice - and shooting ten balls from the same place and from a range. Not from grass. I think that the PEI should be more like 7 % in situations like this. I am sure that after practicing a month I will get my Pitching wedges PEI under 10% and other iron clubs too.

Merlin method in Golf

Merlin method is living your life backwards. Start from what you want to happen and imaging the steps that will lead from your goal to present situation. I have been reading "Golf Tuition Online" and thinking of the mental side of the game as well as how to learn a swing. Golf is very much a mental game. So it is important to take this in account when planning ones development program. Merlin Method has been a tool that I use for planning future (in my work as a project director). Michael Campbell gives a tip to divide the round in to six holes and try to play the best score on each. AND to play each hole from the green to the T. YES. Where do you want to be for the last put. From where do you hit to the green and so on. This is "Merlin Method" in practice. Nothing new there? I have set a goal to drop my HDC from 47 to under 10 next season. I need to think what does this mean. What do I need to be able to play good golf? I can approach this by thinking of the two si...

Playing golf on the right side of your brain

There is a theory on how brain controls our behavior. Left side is critical, language and logical, Right side is whole, more on space, angles and nonverbal control. You are letting your right side dominate when you don't critique, don't rationalize - just letting the movements flow - like in the zone. What if you could control your thinking? What if you could shift your thinking to right side when ever you like? Play in the zone all the time? I was in the range today and also practiced putting. I tried to use my right side and I think it helped. When I visualized a shot it turned out much better. Also I registered that I have a rotated address position. I had not noticed it earlier - maybe it came from the right side - feedback that my posture is not natural?

Be open minded to learn golf - experiment!

Experiment, but only when training. I don't know if it's good to do on a round. It's not good to do in a competition:-) This truism comes from my latest experience. I had a discussion about a swing and I was sure that it's nothing like shopping wood with an axe - just an up and down movement with my arms. I tried it at the range - from my perfect backswing - I closed my eyes and let my arms drop -> result was a square contact to the ball! It was better on the video when shooting my face, but at the link is also a version shot from the target line. SWING I don't know how well the feeling of dropping my hands can be seen on the video, but for my it is important. In near future I will try to actively do the movement - not just let my hands go - this way I will be hitting the ball - and straight down the target line! By the way - I was dead sure that the idea of "Pulling" with my hip and dropping my arms would not work! BUT it did. I am clad that I had the ...
