What more can I ask for?
Thanks for posting about this! It turned out to be just what the doctor ordered!

Psyched to hear that,
JP!!! I've had a really similar experience; to me it seems that the balance thing was what set me off on the right path. With my armpits over the balls of my feet, as you put it so well, it's like turning in a chair almost - you just rotate so freely and so effortlessly back and through the ball. I really feel like I can go at it now. I've also thrown in slowing down my backswing, and this seems to really let me collect myself at the top and then just launch into the ball with everything.
I went out Saturday and shot 82 with 2 lost balls (2 penalty strokes plus distance, so essentially
4 lost shots) and 33 putts. My personal best as it stands is 76, but my second-best score was 83, so I just beat that and without the lost balls, I would've easily been in the 70's for the second time.
Anyway, this little thing has just freed up everything for me; I'm really excited!!!
