iPod: Don't leave home without it
And make sure Tour Tempo is on it…
This afternoon, I had a spare hour to hit balls, so I ran over to the Golden Bear Golf Center to try out my new 5-wood and 3-hybrid. Unfortunately, I forgot my iPod, and boy, did I need it today. I never did get in sync with any club, except for the driver (and only barely).
I warmed up hitting pitching wedges, and it took me about 5 or 6 balls before I hit one that wasn’t fat. Really fat. Digging a trench fat. And when I’m hitting the ball fat, you can bet it’s because I’m rushing my downswing.
After I finally hit a good shot with the pitching wedge, I got out the new clubs along with the 6-iron and driver. The driver I struck decently today, though I did have some high fades to start out. I never had my swing going well enough today to give an enthusiastic thumbs up on the new clubs, but I also didn’t hit any terrible shots as I tend to with my 3-wood or HALO hybrids. So, at least from a forgiveness standpoint, the new clubs are a rousing success.
I just wish I’d swung the clubs better today to give them a real tryout.
Remind me not to forget the iPod tomorrow…
