Bear with me as I lay out my plan of attack as I chomp at the bit for this season to get going. And hopefully will get some responses about how all of you going about attacking this season. Whether you are playing in league, competitively or just recreational.
Okay, 2nd year with Saguto Academy and pleased with all that went down last season minus finals weekend left shoulder "injury"(really just age issues, bursitis). But got it injected after season and holding up great, right shoulder with the metal junkyard doing well. Keeping them rubbed and doing PT elastic band therapy at home keeping them in shape.
Bag:-
Decided after the 1st outing of attempting to bring back 3 wood to scrap that. Staying with my 2 & 3 iron crossovers, they are even distance wise with 3 & 5 woods. Much more versatile in where and what kind of lies I can hit them from and with a little Grid tweaking can play them to run out or drop in.
Callaway Rogue here to stay combined with Pro V1 see a 10 yard increase.
Carrying 4 wedges, PW, UT, ZipCore 54, LW 56.
Attitude:- Feeling really confident in all aspects of the foundation laid last season. Feeling the comfort with pre shot routine and setups and added delayed hip turn moving towards target line. Although only once out the "aha" moment and comfort and confidence was noticeable.
Attack:- Even though know home course well, have to play smarter. Times you just have to put it in the middle of the green. This year going to start off going for the "meat" of the green all the time. No matter where flag is unless am pitching from short distance because of short or missed green. This should be a boon for prep for MBWA at end of year playing unknow courses. The thought of this approach is I should hit more greens this way, at least I will be putting for more birdies and will hopefully hone my lag putting more. Thus building confidence and honing skills.
Focus:- Play smarter golf, stay within my game and really access what the shot should be, not what I want it to be(if that makes sense).
Stick with my pre shot routine and setup, behind ball picking a spot in front of the ball online with target direction. Staying with the 3/4 swing and power accumulators and acceleration. Chipping with putting stroke and changing clubs for roll distance needed. Pitching and approach shots getting wedge distances dialed in more.
Get in the zone, play one shot at a time and leave last shot behind , good or bad. Enjoy the game and keep a good attitude and remember what I am building on!
Hope to hear all of fellow students focuses for this season.
Blessings
Only comment on your club choice would be, consider 58 instead of 56. Your gapping would be too close on full swings and launch spin wouldn't provide enough difference in short game.
Otherwise, love your plan.
