*critical for intent: Weaker grip, set left wrist just right of the left shoulder, rehearse swinging left arm with the body turn and extension so the clubshaft and clubhead exit UPWARDS and LEFT and address the ball. SET left heel under left shoulder. SWING left arm as fast as possible with the body turn and extension so the clubshaft and clubhead exit UPWARDS and LEFT.
*****
Short Game:
Chip with the eyes, see the line from clubface to the hole.
For bumps use putting stroke in feel.
For long range pitch use putting stroke in feel.
For soft squishy lie use bunker swing.
Putt with the eyes, see the line from Putter face to hole.
Bunker: Open face at address such as 45 degrees open AND Hit it fat. Same as the short game listed in full swing but open club face for bounce and try to hit the shot fat but with a full swing. SMACK the sand and hit fat.

Favorite drill 1 (clubshaft and clubhead exit post impact):
1. Place alignment rod on an angle slightly steeper that the clubshaft at address OUT in front of the ball closer to the target.
2. Rehearse post impact allowing the clubshaft to slide up along the alignment rod, so the clubshaft and clubhead exit upwards and left. Ensure the left arm is turning with the body and there is extension towards the target.
Favorite drill 2 (reverse engineer impact):
1. Address.
2. Turn open impact position, hands in front of ball clubface feels open but is not, open hips with right knee trying to keep inside of left knee.
3. Keeping upper body and arm position the same while uncoiling lower body back to address, arms are now in the perfect position for the lower body to turn into impact.
4. Return arms to address which returns to original address position.
5. Without moving lower body, bring club to position 3.
6. Hit the ball by initiating the lower body turn into impact position.
