Well at my home course there was a comp on today and wasnt sure if should wait till they all teed off and go behind them but would be slow or goto practice ground well i opted to goto toother course which is 3 miles away. Shorter course and i never played it before. Its quite new aswell.
so went there neway and the front 9 is short and i started off well. my drives were good. i was happy with them. I was getting better with my irons.
Still the odd pull and push which got up my tits but i let it go over my head.The course was soft due to all the rain neway but i was in 2 mind to attack all the time and take advantage but i thought no i will try and get my swing sorted neway. Its coming together slowly I THINK neway but will keep practicing and go from there.
Only thing to let me down was my short game. 100 yards in inc around the green. A few times i was just off the green and instead of chipping due to being wet etc i used the putter and ended up 3 putting a few times which i decided the last few holes to chip etc and it payed off in the end.
Also something that helped me today was when chipping. I.E chip and run or lob over the bunker to a tight pin. when watching the masters last night KEN showed you how to play these shots and he alwys said make sure you follow thru the ball properly. I was doing that and it worked well. give it a go.
Alot of you will be thinking i need to slow doing and stop trying so much. really am not i feel comfortable doing what am doing and slowly starting to see the results. I took a day off yesterday as had a job interview etc.
Back to the range 2mo and another round of golf.
