Today, we started out with just a few minutes of yeterdays recap. And the drills for them. Then for the next 3-4 hrs we just did short game. I can tell you that this was the huge adjustment for me just due to ball position. But hey, when they start to fall...I wish I I had made the change sooner! Same thing with chipping, I have a completely different view (and swing) for those green side chips. Lynn told me that I would actually Hole more chipping his way, after the lessons I went to play 18 and wow, he was CORRECT!
Pitches and bunkers gave me the most trouble, IMO, just due to a different way of doing it. But we covered a TON of different shots, so I do have choices.
Random thoughts:
I am coming back in the spring after a winters worth of drills, who else is in?
While playing after the lesson, there is a 427 yard par 4 that was playing into the wind. I'm a short knocker anyway, so I'm thinking just treat it like a par five and go to the next hole. Boom a drive, 200 left in, boom a hybrid , and just burn the edge of about a 25 footer. Now that could not have been done by me last week!
Most shots are longer, so that will take some getting used to. Just not used to compression of the ball in this way, so flew a few a bit to far! But that is a good thing.
My passion level for the game is back, and can't wait to keep on improving. I have seen immediate results so far, and that is such a morale boost that it is uncanny.
More to come, but I am pooped yet again, but at the same time so pumped up and ready to play and continuing to improve. Will post some more when I get back home. Thank you Lynn for such fun this weekend.
