Very helpful. Thanks for commenting, Lil. Where do I start, oh my. This is great advice based on common sense for the majority of people but in our house our DD dictated to us what would work or not. There was no compromise at all, no worrying about bad habits or even SIDS because there were only certain things that would work and that was IT. My DD, when she was a baby, responded to nothing except nursing, holding, and the swing.

We read books to get pointers and tricks and tried everything we read, we shushed, rocked, bounced, walked, everything. At night I dozed sitting up holding her for the first four months and then at four months a friend of the family heard I was losing my mind and gave us a swing to borrow. But at night it was different. Every night I would do my usual nurse her for four to six hours until she was finally in a deep enough sleep for me to move and then I would carefully get up and put her into the swing and turn it on.

She slept in that swing every night from the time she was four months old until she was a year old. I tried and tried to get her to sleep in other places, and to sleep on her own, fall asleep on her own, wean from the swaddle, but she would just scream and scream and get so upset that it took over an hour or several hours to calm her down again before we could even try to nurse her to sleep.

When she was a year old she started to seem uncomfortable in the swing and so I bought an ebook from this site on how to sleep train her, because I needed to get rid of the swing, the swaddle, and get her to learn how to fall asleep on her own all at the same time and I was lost. While she cried it out, I went in and calmed her down periodically, checked on her, rubbed her back, all of that.

It made no difference. She wailed hysterically. After that people left me alone about it. And back she went into the swing, by herself, every night, until she was a year old and started showing signs of being ready for something else. So we just did what worked and at night, that was the swing.

The 8 Best Swing Sets of This affords a good amount of control while allowing the player to stay long enough to accelerate.

Swinging too long often allows swing faults to break through and it is more likely that you will have inconsistent contact. For all green side bump and runs focus on keeping your club head below your knees and close to the ground on the back swing and the finish.

Keeping the swing compact will help you keep control and keep the trajectory down. The idea is to have minimum air and maximum roll for control on these shots. A low swing with little angle in your wrists will help provide low, rolling shots.

For the typical greenside bunker shot use the face of a clock for the length of your swing. Swing from on your backswing to on your follow through. This will help ensure that you are making a big enough backswing to get some acceleration and that you accelerate all the way through to the finish. Obviously for very short or very long shots you may have to adjust the length a bit.

To control distance you can either change the length of your back swing or change the amount of power or "oomf" you put into the putt. I believe varying your back swing length is the easier and a better way to go. Experiment with different back swing lengths and see how far back you need to swing the putter for varying distances. To vary distance on pitch shots, vary the length of your backswing.

A short backswing with a sand wedge that reaches only to where the shaft is parallel to the ground is going to fly the ball about yards for most players. When chipping, let the length of your back stroke help control your distance.
