Evening All,
I went out today with aim of consistent setup, better ball contact and better course management .
I also did the 7 iron, Pitch Sand Wedge and Putter only.
worst round in scores ever haha but here are the positives.
Setup is much more consistent and friends commented on how it looked same for most shots.
Ball contact was so much better than normal once I slowed my backswing by half as people have advised here.
borrowed mates driver from hole 12 onwards as was losing lots of strokes due to it being a long course and hit nearly every one straight!
divots after ball with the odd fat shot.
Neutral grip did not lead to my usual slice.
Beautiful ball flight and most shots straight
really pleased overall considering this is a new swing that is still only under half right.
was already tired today so by hole 15 I couldn’t hit any club with any power and lots of fat shots from back collapsing on downswing.
I shot 117 which is very high for me but 10 of those were 3 puts (I only usually have 2-3 3 putts a round but nearly every hole today (standing water on greens as had thunder storms last night)
take off the 10 shots I added by only taking short irons and really it was best ever.
even though score was high had so much fun hitting some clean shots.
Sounds like you accomplished your mission for the day, @colin. Nice job, and thanks for posting this excellent recap!!
