The saying above certainly is true.
Some of you may recall me complaining of no improvement in my game. I put this down to simply not playing and practising enough.
For the past fortnight I've been getting up to the course when possible. Reduced my backswing and uped the tempo on the downswing with a full turn following release.
What a difference the swing change and extra practise have made.
I always struggled with my ironplay, hitting both fat and thin shots, slicing, hooking, you name it.
I am now a reformed character. My shots comprise a more compact and powerful swing seeing my iron shots sending the ball further than I've ever experienced before.
OK, it's fair to say that not all my shots are "bang on" but overall I'm chuffed to bits with the improvement.
The daft thing about it all is that my improvement has not been down to the services of a Pro, simply by me looking at my game in some detail and making changes I thought were needed has upped my game.
I plan to stick with it and aim to continue improving right up to the winter and maybe see my pro to make any tweaks he feels are required to up my game further.
Does that sound like a plan?

but two that helped me with my iron play - 1. narrow the stance a little - 2. stand tall to the ball for a nice clean strike. I've found that sometimes the slightest change can make a difference.
