Follow up Lessons

Once again, I was feeling great about my game, things are really coming around and my index has finally creeped below 11. After a day of 36 holes, a 79 and an 80, I was leaving the course, when I noticed that there was a "range party"...1$ beers and beat the pro contests...at any rate I went over to the range to give my pro a hard time... and one of the other pro's comes up to me and wants to play a 5 dollar double up chip game...immediately he didn't like my setup, said lucky shot and then proceeded to hole his chip from a downhill lie, to an elevated green, over a sand trap...from 18yards...
After the miracle shot he said well, lets get you your moneys worth... he said lets go to the range and hit a few balls, we chatted, I told him about my game(s) that day and he congratulated me on the hard work that seems to be starting to pay off... then he has me hit some shots with my 7 iron at the 150 flag... I land about 8 feet from the stick, and I say, see its coming around... then he says lucky shot, set up again, I do, and I do it again...again he says lucky shot, set up again but don't hit... so I do, he lays a shaft down at my toes and says come back here...I was pointed about 20 to 30 degrees to the right of my target line...I felt like an idiot this is something I had struggled with prior to lessons, and it was also a good sign that I was probably getting to upright in my swing again... I was lucky to have bumped into rob that night or this could have easily ballooned into a very large problem with time...
So after the alignment issue, he says and you are way over turning your shoulders and letting the shaft come over the top again. So I start feeling all Butt hurt, and feel like he is just being overly critical... so we start hitting some shots... he puts me onto a new drill...stand at address, put the club butt end pointing at the target, accross the elbow folds and the bring your hands flat to your chest one laying on top of the other, then point the butt end of the shaft at the ball, while keeping your hands on your chest... as soon as the butt end points at the ball, this is all the shoulder turn that your backswing position needs to achieve, and let me tell you, it felt well short of where I was turning to before...the best way I know to equate it, is like drag cars...or hot rods...if you have to much power and you let it all out from the starting line, you probably won't go anywhere fast... you will just sit there doing a burnout...I was probably getting really close, to start doing burnouts... and its a good thing I bumped into rob, even though i have been scoring better, that doesn't mean I was doing things correctly...at least now I can continue to work at my goal... and I have some more tools in my box to help me achieve them...
