Is this wrong?

It is around here, stilltrying. Keep it up and watch those scores go down!

I can see how this could happen if you Cocked your Right Wrist (a Vertical Motion), but not if you only Bent it (a Horizontal Motion). The latter, by the way, is the preferred action. To Cock the Right Wrist is to destroy the Right Forearm Flying Wedge.

I admire your enthusiasm, Neil. Only a true-blue Born to the Blood G.O.L.F.er could replace singing in the shower with swinging in the shower. Let's finish up this primer on Brush Strokes:

From Address to the Top, through the Downstroke and at least into the Finish Swivel, the brush should be On Plane. At the Top, if the brush is parallel to the shower floor (horizontal), it should be parallel to the Base Line of your Inclined Plane. Otherwise, depending on which is nearest the floor, either the butt end of the brush or its bristles should point at the Baseline.

Now then...

Have you ever tried taking the soap bar to the 'Take the Oath' position?

I thought not.

Get ready for the next level:

With the soap bar Right Shoulder high, its straight-line base line -- if you've got oval soap, all bets are off -- will point at the straight line Baseline of the Inclined Plane. It will also be parallel to it.

Check it out.

Thank you, Neil. Only when I was younger have I ever had this much fun in the shower.

Dowels (for Tracing)...

Towels (for Walloping)...

Whatever.

You're too much, Bob. Next thing we know you'll be suggesting using the drain as the Aiming Point.
