When an idea works

[gregbwfc]

Good innit.
Joined a club at the start of the year.
Great,let's see what hcap I can get down to.
Couldn't put in cards until start of April but played a few rounds before and hit it round ok.
Started playing for real,and my game completely disappears .Practice on the range just as bad.
Put 2 scores in which are 6/7 shots more than I'd like (and god knows how I got it round so low!),before I put the clubs away and had a good think.
Anyway,hit on what I thought was the answer,tried it out this morning (admittedly at the range),and ,after a dozen or so sighters,finally turned that horrible weak push fade we all hate back into that nice soft draw we really like .
Please let me take this onto the course next week.
Pretty please.

Isnt it always the way, a fader wants a draw, and a drawer wants a fade. Come the summer when the course is baked and bounces are playing a major part in punishing you with wild results from good tee shots your be begging for that fade back.

Not the sort of fade that starts well right of where you're aiming and carries on though.
Other than that,agreed - would love to play with a controlled fade.

Wish all my ideas worked as well as that. Although played today and after i duffed 2 chips through fear of the rock solid greens i decided that any greenside shot that was being played to a downslope would be better putted and it worked quite well most of the time. Although got 'wristy' with my putt just off the 17th green and barely got it 10 feet on,lipped the 12ft par putt too.

Just keep working at it Greg. Nothing comes without hard work and lots of practice. Good luck.

Cheers, trouble is I've given myself golfers elbow I've hit that many balls - too many in anger
