Experience is what you get…

What a nasty, nasty practice today. I got a case of the shanks! 😥

Today, during lunch, I practiced at the Golden Bear Golf Center on a warm, sunny afternoon, dodging mosquitos. I started out poorly, with a case of the fats with the wedges. I then moved on to practicing with alternating 4-, 6- and 8-irons, which started out well, but then the attack of the shanks appeared. It took a while to work out the exact cause, but I did finally find that my swing was too much from the inside. At the end of practice, I managed to undo the damage and hit some pretty good 8-irons.

I had planned to spend this practice continuing to work on tempo and timing, and instead had to spend it trying to decipher shanks. What a wasted practice.
