I think I've got it.....

So after 3 weeks of non stop practicing and 2 lessons, I can finally consistently hit a ball straight.

My 7 iron is going to 160-170 and my drives are going to 270. And my pitching wedge is going well too.

I'm not trying to hit it too hard yet so I know I'll be able to go longer but for now it's more important to keep it straight.

Tomorrow I'm going to start with my 3 iron and will see how I get on buy Ii know it will be tough.

However well it goes in practice the one true test will be when you step out onto the course and try it there. Even our resident range expert Timmy struggled (particularly off the 1st) and recognised that range work and playing on the course are two different beasts. Part of the fun is putting what you've learned into practice. That said I'm pleased you seem to have turned a corner and everything seems to be working and is more consistent. Well done

Now don't go putting words into my mouth, Homer.
FIR = Range work.
GIR = Range work + different lies

Well done leaney.

Well done on the progress but like Homer says, 2 different ball games.

On the course you only get one crack at each shot. It's a much better test of your ability

Thanks gents, I completely agree that's a different game during a round.

I'm just trying to put the foundations in with lots of hard work.

I played my first round 3 weeks ago and shot 104, now I've had lessons and lots of practice, I want to try and shoot 96 next weekend.
