A very eventful week using my perfect golf swing. It is a new era for my perfect golf swing. I played three rounds of nine hole golf on three different golf courses and the results were about the same for each course. Very Good!

I have come to the conclusion that my new perfect golf swing will do me well but I must use a swing the is about 60 to 70% of full. I scored three rounds in the low 40′s for the beginning of the season and had at least one bad hole where I forgot about my 70% golf swing and try to impress my fellow golfers or even myself with a full swing where I might hit a 260 yard drive. The only thing that happened was I pulled the ball left and into trouble.
Each time I tried to impress, I got a high score of three or four over par. On one round, if I had just a bogie instead of three over par I would have had a 39. That is how good I am playing already. My putts are mid season form already with every round I play I get better. My chip shots are pretty good but not excellent. My irons are accurate but still need adjusting. But my golf swing is the perfect golf swing for most shots.
I need to fix the bad hole itis. What can my perfect golf swing do to help me with the bad golf score holes?
Right now with the perfect golf swing at 60% to 70%, I am usually in the fairway. Every now and then I push one to the right edge or right rough near the fairway but still in play. It is fun and I am about 145 to 165 yards out from the hole. This is a distance I know what to do with but it is not what I would like to do. But what the heck the results are pretty good.
When I started playing after a 12 year hiatus, I was hitting an eight iron about 155 yards. My seven iron was 165 to 170, and so on. As I started this transition to find the perfect golf swing, my distances have dropped significantly. I now hit the eight iron about 130 yards and I now use a six iron to hit about 150 yards. Yesterday I used my six iron to hit shot at 145 and was still about five to seven yards shy of where I wanted to be. I was on the green in regulation and two putted for my par, so I guess until I get my perfect golf swing grooved I will use the 60% perfect golf swing and get my great golf scores.
The driver is the one thing that the perfect golf swing still needs work on. Here are my issues. Number one is that I hit the driver very high and only about 230 yards using the 60% to 70% golf swing. I guess that is pretty good but I would like to hit further. I also am not very accurate. I try to use the same swing but I don’t hit where I think I am aiming. Sometimes the ball will draw, sometimes it will fade but most of the time it will go straight.
I guess I should not complain because our opponents asked me if I don’t get bored hitting the same old perfect golf shot every time. That is about the best compliment you can get. And my golf partner thinks I already have the perfect golf swing so why am I monkeying with it.
Considering I have only played five rounds of golf with a total of 45 holes played, I guess I am doing pretty good. I am in mid season form already and should only get better. Yesterday, I parred four holes, had three bogies, one double bogie and one double par eight for a total of 45. I had one three put on a par three for a bogie and one one putt for a bogie. So my total putts were 18 of the 45. The other two bogies were chips that were short of the desired distance and then I two putted.
So, if I would have had three less putts, I would have had a 42. Pretty good. And if I would have had a bogie on the eight I would have had a 39, even better. And so it goes. I know how and why I did what I did, so how do I fix it. That is what you need to do to better your scores. See what the major problems are, fix them and then the golf scores will get better. I started this out with a need to fix me metal woods. I still have a tendency to try and hit the ball hard or fast with the metal woods.
I must admit, I did hit a good three metal on the last hole. A par five about 510 yards. A nice drive about 240 yards and the three metal I hit about 240 yards also. There I was sitting right near the green in two with an easy approach shot. A nice easy chip with a one putt would have given me a birdie four. The chip distance was just about perfect but the direction was off and I had a side hill putt of about 12 feet. I didn’t play enough break and missed low but got the second putt for the par. There was the come back tomorrow hole and the drives were hit at about 80% and were pulled slightly left but still in play.
So you see, I can hit the longer drives but they still are not the perfect golf swing as I pulled them right. I aimed to the middle of the course but my balls hit were on the far left of the fairway. It is a very wide fairway and on a narrow course I would be in trouble. So, I still need to work on the perfect golf swing at higher golf swing speeds.
Next week I am playing in an outing on Monday and we tee off at 10:00 am with a shot gun start. I plan on playing in my league after but I am going to miss a steak dinner and maybe a prize drawing by leaving early. It is best ball and they are looking for my perfect golf swing to help them score. They have a big driver so I don’t have to concern myself with that burden.
So see ya next week. I think I will post more articles during the week. Maybe two to start with. I have two much info and not enough time. This one is over 1100 words already. Also don’t forget to sign up for my newsletter and get the first chapter of the Simple Golf Swing.

This perfect golf swing has happened faster then I thought. The week has been very busy so far. Monday was the beginning of the golf league, Tuesday was a day at the range for me and my golfing partner on the Thursday league and Wednesday was a day on the course with my wife.
Just a reminder. My golf league, on Monday evening is a best ball league. Every week we have a new partner and we play best ball. What I call best ball is when you each hit a drive and then you select the best ball for both of you to hit from for each shot until you sink the ball into the cup. Then you do it again for each hole after that until you have played nine holes.
The man I had for a partner is very busy. They warned me that he would not be here until very late if at all. But he showed up early and we were able to tee off early. I then found out why is not very dependable. This is mid May and he has already traveled 48,000 miles for business. He has been all a round the world a number of times including Brazil, Japan, China, Mexico and more.
He has not played more than three rounds of golf in any one year over the past 15 years. He did go out with his son this past weekend as he wanted to be able to play and not look to bad. So it was up to me to carry us but we were each suppose to hit three drives that was used by us both. So we had to pick and choose when and where to do that to maximize our score. We used his drive on both par threes and got fours. My drives were about the same as his so it would not have made any difference. We had to use his drive on the last hole, a par five as we needed his third drive and ended up with a birdie four using my next two shots and he sunk the putt for the four.
It sounds like I am preparing you for bad news but a funny thing happened while playing golf for the first time, we had a 40 for the round which was second best score of the league. There were two teams at 39 and two teams at 40. So we are one off the lead after playing the first night. Both team members get the same scor3e so we both have 40′s using my perfect golf swing.
My golf partner on my Thursday night league has no perfect golf swing.
Now my golf partner has a very similar story about his not so perfect golf swing. He has not played more than about four rounds of golf until he joined the Thursday league and became my golf partner. His rounds varied between 49 and 65 last season. He vowed after the season ended and over the winter that he would get clubs and take lessons and become a better golfer.
He was not looking for the perfect golf swing but a swing that he could repeat and become a better golfer. We don’t start golfing until next Thursday. This league is pretty much like every league where we have the same partners, with handicaps and we take 80% of our handicap and use it to take strokes off of the hardest holes until we use up our handicaps. We usually only do that for the difference in our handicap to our opponents.
He had called me last week to see what I was doing during the week as he wanted some assistance on his golf swing. I told him I had this new version of the simple and perfect golf swing that I would like to show him. So we met on Tuesday. He is a little ADHD and I barely got the grip out of my mouth and he had it and was swinging at the ball. For the very first time, I saw him hit a long, straight drive. He call me a genius. He hit two more like it and he called me a genius again.
I asked him if he would like to learn more. He said yes and I took the balls away from him. and I taught him the grip, most of it this time, the new stance, feet locations and started to tell him more about the complete stance but he was not listening any more. So I figured he could use what I taught him and he could watch the DVD I brought along and learn whatever he wanted to from that point. As far as he was concerned, he had the perfect golf swing right now and he was hitting the ball like never before.
I want to add this part. I explained to him that I was using this new golf swing myself and found it to be the best I have tried and I have tried a lot of different tutorials and he said, “Why, you have a great golf swing already”. Isn’t he a wonderful person. I must admit, my golf swing is very good but I had issues with it until now. Using this new perfect golf swing and swinging the driver at about at 75 to 80% of my fastest golf swing, I am hitting the ball longer then then I have since I started playing again four years ago.
I am still having trouble with my short irons but I am clubbing down and that helps. This is the perfect golf swing for me and it appears for my Thursday golf partner.
