Advice
I met a senior folk at the range last night. He has the most rhythmitic swing I have seen among many people at the range, by rhythmitic I mean smooth-like, no muscle involved kind of ball hitting process. It was getting late, wind was blowing and getting colder, we exchanged a few words and conversation started with his new acquired gap wedge. He got himself a gap wedge at 52 degree loft and he said that should improve his short game, being he is always between clubs for 80 yds distance. He was happy and I commented on his smooth rhythm.
We talked and it came down to my problem I had lately. He said: "Show me your setup." So I obliged, first he looked at my grip, hmm, he liked my slightly strong grip but commented that my right index finger and thumb are asserting too much force, causing my right arm to tense up and restricting smooth back swing. I loosened up and found that it was much easier to swing back. Hooya, that was a good advice. Then we checked my stance and he asked me to lift my left foot up. I couldn't. Ahh, this was the problem. Out of the blue, some time, some where, some how, I have gone back to a slight heavy front foot setup, to compensate, I have to hit from inside-out, to compensate further, I have to slide my hip to balance the swing, to compensate that I am using a bending wrist, to compensate all, I am moving my feet aggressively. Result, a slight reverse pivot and inconsistent swinging rhythm, producing many hook shots.
It was a nice night, I owed this senior folk ton of thanks but he dashed out and I didn't get his name.
When in doubt, check setup.

Golf Amnesia
I lost my golf swing suddenly last Saturday. Just from noway I started sliding my hips, I was bending my wrists sideway, I was overswinging, I was not maintaining a spine-angle, I have very active legs, I initiated my swing with my arms, worst of all, I lost my rhythmn
Just like that, I lost my swing, and I hit balls like I first learning golf.
I still did not know what happened, but I knew I lost it, out of the blue.
Spent whole Sunday "in search of the lost ark", the ark that once belongs to me. I end up taking 3 steps foward, 2 steps back
Muscle memory? There is no such thing.
