Today I had a lesson at Golf Galaxy. I had been working with my course's PGA pro, but I decided to take a lesson at Golf Galaxy because they use the Dartfish video analysis system. Not only that, but they also have an online "locker" system that allows you to watch videos from your lesson online.

Tiger and I, side-by-side, and hey my swing plane isn't that bad.
Being a visual learner I knew this lesson would really help me and I was not disappointed. The video analysis is definitely a HUGE help to me and I think from now on I am going to use Golf Galaxy Lessons for all my full swing work and will use my local PGA pro (who I really like) for all of my short game stuff.
So now that I am done pimping the Golf Galaxy Lessons service, what did I learn? Well the big thing was my hands. Basically my hand movement was all wrong and I was flicking my wrists instead of rotating them. The pro corrected my movement, but I think this one is going to take a little while to get used to. It definitely explains why I was slicing it and topping it though.

The right hand side is my first shot, left is my improved hands action.
The other big thing was my lower body timing. It was great to see my lower body movement on video and get confirmation that all my work was paying off. However, the one thing we noticed is I am not starting my lower body movement early enough. So that will be my other focus for the week.
