Joey's Golf Bag

This afternoon, I attended the swing clinic at the Golden Bear Golf Center. I was the only student today.

Before class, I spent about 20 minutes working on my usual speed drill on the putting green. I putted pretty well today, despite no putting practice since last weekend. I warmed up hitting 4-irons and we spent most of the time hitting that club toward various target greens. I started out hitting the ball pretty short, but soon had the club grooved in and started striking the ball a little better. He diagnosed my hook for me (I’m not completing my turn around my spine after striking the ball). I also tended to cast the club when I got quick with the downswing, and we worked that out as well.

Next up, I hit some high slices with the driver. He fiddled with my stance and I started hitting the ball down the middle with a little fade.

I finished up by going through the irons, hitting them well for the most part. I also hit a couple of balls with the hybrids, and struck them pretty well with the exception of one topped ball with the 2i.

I was pretty happy with the swing clinic today. Still have much to work on…
