back. It was a huge concern for
me having suffered four spinal
fractures, which led to a fear of
over swinging.
After viewing old swing videos,
inwhich the best players in golf,
all lifted their front heel in their
backswing to increase power.
I immediately incorporated
lifting my left heel during my
backswing and added 15 mph
without any pain. When I took
my new old-school swing to
the golf course, I regained my
lost distance.
I also picked up a club and
a half with my irons. Being
able to hit wedges into greens
rather than hybrids, my
birdies per round increased
dramatically.
For the first ten rounds in 2016,
my worst score was 69 (2). My
handicap dropped to a +1,
which was the same as it was
before my injuries in 2008.
Considering where I was and
what I have been through, it
was almost inconceivable,
even for me, to hope for.
That brings me back to the tee
shirt that Tommy Morrissey
was wearing with
the “Zero
Handicap”
moniker.
