I have a headache and have had it all day.. not good. Going to do some work at some point later and going to start the video process for ICT and Science - this is my next step of advancement in career and development.
Notes to make on golf and putting at Lyme Regis Golf Course... May read a little of putting out of your mind...

dead hand and ball position.
Work done and going out at 8. Then going out tomorrow eve for pub and Fireworks with mw.
next round of golf study with Dave Peltz
Major concepts of the short game.
Every swing has a bottom.
Every golfer has a unique precise bottom to every swing. If the club consistently swings with a rhythmic, coordinated turn of the golfers body, then the low point will consistently occur at the same point in the swing, and therefore the same point in the stance, every time.
The perfect swing bottoms out 2 inchs infront of the center of the stance. A fat shot comes from having the ball to far forward.
To do - find the center of your stance. gold club on ground, place ball on ground stand other side of club - bend knees, look over ball and that is the exact center of stance. Turn left foot out 45 degrees.
Once you have learned the dead-hand swing and where your divots occur to the centre of your stance, you can learn the exact ball position that will let you swing your wedges without fear of hitting behind the ball, even on tight hard pan lies.
Ball position if fundamental. Hit the ball before the ground - perfect shot.

Golf study
Yesterday I looked at the need to keep statistics whilst practising and focusing that on the 100 yard and golden 8. We carry on...
" There are three swings and five games.
The fourth and fifth game - mental and management games are as different from each other as they are from the power game. They relate to:
- Mental game: fear, confidence, anxiety, aggression, determination, focus, concentration, emotional control etc.
- Management game; shot selection, skill evaluation, strategy, statistical analysis, risk-vs reward balance, competitive situation etc..
The power game- athletic ability, talent, strength, connection, rhythm, quickness, coordination, speed, release, coil and hit.
The putting game - solid, rhythm, feel pure, acceleration, smooth, simple
Short game - Effortless, positive, beautiful, crisp, rhythm, touch, soft, music, swing
Mechanics of the Short Game.
Muscles and adrenaline. - The flow of adrenaline affects muscles and the performance of muscles. There is no flow of adrenaline when you practise. This need to be considered when building a reliable finesse swing.
Dead Hands - The way to tame adrenaline is then obvious. Don't use your muscles to power your short game. Instead, let the power from the energy provided by your finesse -swing motion. If your swinging with dead hands, those muscles have only two jobs (1) to cock the wrists during the backswing; and (2) to hold on to the club.
The practise swing should allow you to feel and judge the rhythm for the swing. Make a preview swing
To do - start to build in the preview swing.
Alignment is critical. Get into the routine of proper alignment "set up" alignment, aim, body alignment and address.
Parallel left - during practise place club on ground so feet line run to target against set up. Set up body in line with aim club - turn left foot 45 degrees towards target encouraging hips to turn through impact without resistance from lower body
Summary
To do - build preview routine and practise swing visualisation.
Tomorrow - major concepts of short game

Tuesday
Did not sleep until about 3am and woke up at 13.00. Got to go to bed early tonight and wake up early - may have to take some sort of sleeping agent.
To do - job work to do, planning revision for year 10 exams and As biology for the next few weeks.
15 minutes study needs to be done.
1 hour filming ICT.
Need also to complete website for Serge and selling the ski properties.
1. Finish A level (1 hour)
2. Year 10 revision (2 hours)
3. ICT filming ( 1 hour)
4. Lesson plans for week ahead. (30 mins_

The power of technology.. Blogging through the iPhone - nice.

Sleep
Following the operation my body clock is all out of sync. Can't sleep - need to do some activity.
Pub quiz was ok - we did not do very well. Mid table, not bad.
Read an interesting article in National Geographic on Jane Goodall.

ProjectEaglewings
Name is ProjectEagleWings.
Created a spreadsheet to track Within 100 yards. Aim to do complete exercise every week. Will take I reckon 2 hours of practise.
Truly believe it will give results.
Off to pub quiz in a moment. Diet is going well but Monday evening is my night off. Recovering from testicular hydrocele still bruised and swollen but getting better. Back to work on Wednesday. Not sleeping well.
Work focus A Level preparation, Exam for year 10 and creation of ICT and Science which I will include on here.
This blog is not work orientated except for new projects and ideas.

Study. Dave Pelzs Short Game Bible.
This first book I am going to study and focus a large part of my game on is this book. I will spend 15 minutes a day studying it and recording key notes and thoughts here.
"
The scoring game occurs with 100 yards. 60 - 65% of all golf shorts occur within 100 yards. 80% of shots golfers lose to par occur inside 100 yards.
Five games of golf - management game, mental game, putting game, power game and short game.
The golden 8. Best change of making a put is within 8 yards.
Book focuses on 1. What you need to learn. 2. How to learn it. 3. Methods for ingraining your learning so your result will serve you on the golf course.
To do - formulate a practise session which shows progress against stats. Thus yards ball from hole when hit from 10 yards, 15 yards, 20 yards, 25 yards, 30 yards, 35 yards, 40 yards, 45 yards... up to 100 yards. Calculate % error. For 100 yards away and 7 yards from pin - 7% error. From 10 yards away and 1 yard = 10% error.
To do - work out yardage hit with 9 iron, pw, 52, 56 and 60. Calculate carry and role. Calculate yardage roll. (this can be carried forward for all clubs)
To do - when working out stats work out scatter wheel for shots (short, left, right, long...)
Next time - pg 28 the conversion curve

Golf
I have the desire to reach single figure in golf and be better, plus i have the desire to understand the game and the physics behind it. I am currently playing off 11.4 best this season was 10.9. I have been undergoing lessons which have changed my swing - I attend lessons with Mark Crossfield (Exeter). I play at Lyme Regis Golf Club. If reached a couple of quarter finals this year and won a large social golf. Lets be better and do better.
I recognise the need to study, become fitter and practise to reach my goal. This needs to be structured. I have decided to dedicate 15 mins a day to the study of golf and technique. I will commit 5 hours a week to practise or fitness training to golf. This fitness training will then link to increasing health and adventure.

Aim
Due to a number of factors I have re-found my energy to be as good as I can be at everything. To stretch myself and to be an inspiration. The main factors that have led to this are David Knights Book, the sudden desire to find out more about Science and all information, woman and an drive to get fit and live again?
This blog will track this progress but its main purpose is to be used a source to store ideas and notes.
