Played yesterday. Difficult to swing with several layers and a waterproof, and conditions included, drizzle, sleet and snow and as it was my first game of 2013 hard to say where my form is. However I went to the range at Maidenhead Golf Centre, today, not to try and fix anything in particular, but just to keep what I had ticking over.
What occured was a session to warm the cockles of even the grumpiest heart. Ball after ball struck nonchalantly straight and true. I even found a short game technique that worked. One of those rare occasions where everything I di worked. Heck, I was even hitting a fade which anyone who knows me will tell you, is rarer than me being content with my game or my kit. I had real issues hitting my hybrid yesterday off the tee and the ground so took my old TM incarnation to try out. Ended up hitting both superbly although the older model seemed to fly better.
Of course I'm too long in the golfing tooth to know it will last but I'm praying to any rain god that will listen that we need a break in the deluge to let the back 9 dry out and we have a full course for next weekend. I have a chance to play a roll up on Saturday and try it out ina relaxed atmosphere before partnering Hawkeye in one of our pairs events on Sunday. For now though I'm going to bask in the moment where for now, I have a real feeling for my swing and where the clib should be and how I should turn and swing.
