Regarding your slice: Make sure that you are finishing your swing with almost all of your weight on your front foot. If you still notice that the balls are leaking, try to ingrain a feeling of shaking hands with your dominant hand past impact. Those should stop you from hanging back and leaving the face open. |

Should go without saying, but if you get the chance to go to Augusta National - even for a Monday practice round - do it.
Wednesday was just an incredible experience. Walked the course in the AM and had a front row seat on the ropes of #1 tee for the Par 3 Contest. |

It's really worth it to go. I was shocked at how hilly it is, tv doesn't do it justice. If you lay up on 15, it's like hitting of a mountain. Also, did you notice once you get inside, things are extremely cheap (food, beverages etc)? |

Also, 12 looks nothing like it looks on TV. If anything, it's a bit uphill. Green complexes are amazing. 7 is just diabolical. And yeah, prices are very friendly. I think the most expensive thing on the menu was an import beer at $4. And the places where Phil hit that 4-iron from the pine straw on 13 and Bubba with the monster hook on 10 were incredible to see. Amazing shots. |

So I've changed my posture a bit this year. I've moved back a little off my toes towards my heels an tried to get a little more knee flex. It's really helped me get it on plane coming down a lot easier as I don't take it back outside ad fight to get it back inside like I was recently.
With my old posture, stance etc, I would tend to get stuck on the way down as my body was in the way and I really had to spin out of it to get out of the way and it was hell on my lower back. So far this year, big improvement. |

Also to any of you guys who hit a lot of balls practice a lot etc, invest in some tour sticks (or use clubs) for alignment.
When practicing, take that element out of the equation so you can wok on other things. |

Just use driveway markers or clubs. Going out of your way to buy tour sticks is just pissing money away.
