Happier

[HomerJSimpson]

Went to the range more in desperation than hope. I hadn't been swinging it great either on the course or when practicing and it was too flat, too steep and totally out of whack. I even had a 30 minute quick fix lesson booked on Sunday with one of the pros where HID works.

Hit a few early shanks warming up with wedges (never a good start) but once I was loose and swinging properly what a revelation. A full turn, balanced and a great turn through impact and hit down on the ball. You all know how I over analyse and complicate things but whatever clicked had the ball going straight and high. I'm relaxed chilled and all is good with the world. Of course we all know by the 3rd on Saturday it'll have gone tits up again but for tonight I feel like a decent golfer again. I really can't put my finger on the difference tonight at the range compared with Tuesday and yesterday. Stupid game

Nice one Homer, I had a great session tonight myself. You know its a stupid game but you also know to enjoy the good stuff and take some confidence with you to the course.

I have been hitting the ball better and better every range session for a few weeks now, I have been very focused on doing just one thing. I would be willing to bet you had a pretty clear mind tonight as you had not expectations.


Enjoy.

From what I have read from you HJS you think too much!
Just try and enjoy it, I am sure you will enjoy it and play better when your chilled out and not worrying about one thing or another..

Good to hear you are feeling more positive. Bottle that feeling and keep hold of it. I've found the more I fret the worse it gets. Have a good one this weekend and remember that it just clicked on the range, probably because you were chilled out.

Nice one Homer, looking forward to seeing that for a couple of holes at least tomorrow.

My planned range session had to be canned as I'm really busy at work and have been working evenings (well if still working at 4am on Thursday morning can still be classed as evening that is). I was hoping to work on something as Saturday was great from a ball striking perspective. Still, probably wouldn't have made any difference anyway
