That kind of sums up my practice these days. I, unfortunately, can only seem to practice once a week because I have taken a job that requires much of my time and I have not played a round in several weeks. However, I finally have a handicap for the upcoming MBWA that I am very excited about.
I still have 2.5 months to kick it around but I got to get to the range at least twice a week. I feel my lead arm breaks down and I still have this horrible CHUNK in the back of the ball sometimes and of course, my divots would make most groundkeepers turn into bounty hunters, looking for the guy who thinks he is hunting gophers with an 8I, but at least I am taking divots. Still, I have some really nice crispy shots that still make me confident in the fact that I am doing something correctly for me.
My grip is going to be my grip. I can't get the trail hand to cover that thumb like Tom shows but, I am at least on it. This means I don't have much of that auto-hinge so I have to make it part of my tempo. Speaking of tempo, this is most important. There is a backswing and a downswing, and when I have that certain tempo I smash the ball just like I am supposed to with that little draw. take it easy, take it slow. I also know I am only going to get so good but I am on my way to being better.
Did I tell you guys how much I love this game of golf and how happy I am to be part of the best golf instructional forum on the Planet?
Played an after work 9 hole competition this evening off back tees and scored 19 points with a 7 on the card, fried egg bunker incident.
Starting to believe this is a) my swing b) it repeats and c) I can trust it to do what I want it to.
This is literally a new golfing life and I’m loving the crispy kfc lifestyle!
