What am I missing? Why did Harrington go to that side of the hazard?

Went to the course to practice this afternoon. I started working on making sure that my left foot was planted on the downswing, and letting my hips turn in the backswing rather than restricting them, as I did last year.
Just by planting that lead foot, and preventing it from spinning out on the follow through, I was able to anchor myself to the ground to the extent that I was picking up 12-15 yards of carry on my irons. I usually fly my SW 85-90, and today was flying it from 100-102. Eight iron was carrying 148-152 when it normally flies about 135. |

Lefty is on a ****ing tear, with birdies on 5 of his last 6.
Tied for the lead at -18. |

That was some truly tremendous golf. I watched the second nine on DVR. Verplank fading was pretty predictable, but Phil was playing like he had power boost and spin options available.
The thing that portends best for Phil isn't the driving accuracy, it's the distance control on his irons, which was phenomenal over the last two days. |

Kevin Na, widely regarded as a piece of **** on Tour, and a horrendously slow player, carded a 16 on a par 4 yesterday.

I think I've mentally blocked out the highest score I've ever made on a hole, but I don't think it was anywhere near 16.
I hope that teaches golfers the importance of one thing: provisionals. |

The great Mike Weir finished 3rd to last in San Antonio. 5 strokes worse than a guy that posted a 16 on Thursday.

Set up like your going to hit a ball and then raise your left heel off the ground. Keeping the ball of your foot on the ground take a practice swing and on the through swing keep that heel up. You won't spin out if your weight goes to your left front foot. Take a few practice swings and then hit a few balls with the drill and see how it feels. It should make it difficult to get the clubhead past your target line and keep you from coming across the ball from outside in. Try it. PhilFree ![]() |

I don't cut across the ball at all. My problem is getting stuck from the inside. The biggest problem I have is that I have a very wide swing arc, but I'm not able to float load on the downswing, which, even though I have a big turn and a quick action through the ball, limits by SS to 105. If I could load the shaft properly on the downswing, I'd bet I could add 10-12 MPH on the downswing.
