Okay, FINALLY played my first round in nearly three months yesterday. The good news is, I played the best front nine I‘ve ever played in my life at this particular course. I even pard and birdied the two hardest holes. The bad news is I shot one of my worst on the back nine. Here’s what I’ve ascertained from what happened. Using what I learned from the video “This 1 Move Gets You CRUSHING The Ball Right Now” and WOW!!! I was crushing and drawing the ball like crazy. On the tenth hole, I (think) I was keeping my trail arm too connected in the backswing (my brain trying to keep the elbow in front prematurely). Then it got to where I was all arms and no hips AND I started rolling the club on the backswing, and my weight started falling back on my trail foot. I tried to work it out on a post round range session but aside from a handful of decent shots I just couldn’t do anything with it. Any advice on this?

But with the long break there's also more time to review the basics. I tend to have notes on my phone that are not "quick fixes" but more "fundamental" reminders of basic good swing mechanics. I have erased more "quick fix" notes than I can remember because they're never long-lasting "fixes".
