Hi All, first post. After a 10 year hiatus I’ve now got the time to resume golfing. Unfortunately, due to some medical issues I think it best to switch from my left hand swing to right hand. I am a right hand normally but due to hockey experience they needed left wingers so I ended up golfing left.
I’ve gone down the rabbit hole of you tube golf instruction and have tried several swings out…easy swing, Jim Venetos, MDLT, Earnest Jones, D Strahan. I’ve found I can emulate most of these swings when practicing BUT when I go to the course the hit instinct takes over and, we’ll, you can guess the rest…not pretty.
I’ve read many posts on THP on this but really have tried most of the proposed solutions with no joy. The only insight I’ve come up with (untested & unconfirmed mind you) is set the swing task as snipping off the grass at a set height at a set spot as the task at hand. I think this takes away the vague target of the ball hit and replaces it with a non ball more exact task to set myself on.
Comments and other possible solutions most welcome.
