Let me introduce Chance to you. He's my (Sam's) little almost 3 year old. I took him out to a driving range a month ago with his sisters thinking that he would be better behaved and not be the "terrible 2" that he sometimes is as he watched people including his sisters hit golf balls. Well here he is the other day hitting all by himself. I can't stop smiling everytime I look at these pictures.
1st image - notice as he shifts his weight to his right side as he takes the club back. He's also keeping his hands in front of his chest, not letting the club get behind him...like I do sometimes.
2nd image - On his downswing he has the club "loaded" ready to release with some power. Notice his weight transfer and how his hands are staying in front of his chest still...(he's stays connected...something I learned from Randy Chang). His body is returning to it's starting point.
3rd image - Chance keeps his head still at impact and behind the ball as well. You can fully tell that he is transferring his weight to his left side at this point by looking at his right foot as he gets onto its instep. He hasn't broken the imaginary line or wall on his left side (yellow line) that we're all told not to breach. Hands are still in front of him. He's just a bit too steep at impact but I'll take it considering he's been at it for just a month.
It's just fun to watch. He's not as long as his sisters yet but we'll give it a few months.
