I was unable to get out and play golf this weekend due to weather and other circumstances. However, my dad has set up this makeshift golf net in the basement. Before its repurpose, this area of our house was home to a hockey net where I would shoot pucks. That’s why there is plywood painted with “Yesaki Arena” on the back wall there. Now, since nobody in our house is practicing hockey, we put this net up and bought an artificial turf mat. In all honesty, I don’t find myself using it that often. Maybe that’s why I am regressing at golf, because I am not practicing enough.

In the videos, you can see a slow motion golf swing. The problem with hitting balls in the basement is that I am always worried in the back of my mind that I am going to hit the ceiling either on my backswing or my follow through. However, it is cool to see my swing in slow motion. Seeing the impact of the ball and watching it sail into the net is quite satisfying. In terms of the swing, I have this problem where my hands are much too close to my body when I am impacting the ball. You can see how compact everything is in these videos. I have had this problem for a while and I am not sure how to correct it. My ball striking is pretty solid in both clips.

Maybe I should start utilizing both the net and slow motion more to try and improve my game…
