update guys

Went out again today and stricking was a bit better but still pulling and the odd slice aswell. got my new wedges and putter and there gr8. Wedges i was pulling them aswell.

Only played 9 holes as it was a bit slow. I decided this afternoon to go for a lesson with my local pro who i have known since 8 yrs old and is the district coach aswell.

We went to the golf range and hit a few balls and he videoed my swing etc then we went back to the pro shop and he talked out a few faults. He said i had a very good posture and swing even with taking 5 yrs off.

My left hand grip was a bit weak so we worked on that. We also worked on shoulder alignment aswell and also dropping my hands aswell a wee bit.

We trayed all 3 and it came together very well. ball started going towards the target more often. still the odd wild one but thats expected until i get used to the changes.....

I am very pleased with the results and also will be taking more lessons in the future. Also he boosted my confidents aswell by saying there is alot of good things about my swing etc.

One thing that hasnt slipped is my bunker shots. still impressive hehe

Well back out tomorrow morning for some more practice then playing 2mo afternoon with a few guys from work

You make me sick. Five years off and straight back into it. Flash sod.

I'm only joking and a wee bit jealous. They say class is permanent. I'm glad you are hitting well again and that the changes are going well. Have you set any targets for this year or are you going to see how it goes and take it slowly

yep i have set targets but not really wanting to say them out loud if you know what i mean will just do my very best tho.

1st thing is i will have to get my handicap back aswell.

Good thing aswell the pro has known me ever since i started playing golf which is a good thing. I have grown up and more mature about the game aswell now and also stronger cause i was impressed when he said when am transfering my wait its really good.

When he showed me on video etc myself swinging etc i was expecting to b miles out with everything but a few things to work on.

Am going to get a lesson every time am home from offshore and progress that way aswell.
