What a fine day!
This afternoon after work, I practiced at the Hank Haney Golf Ranch in Lewisville. The day was nearly perfect, temperatures in the high 50s, sunny, trace of a breeze.
I started off hitting full pitching wedges to warm up, hitting them a bit sporadically. Someone had placed three flags in front of the pond, so I also hit some lob wedges, mostly pretty good shots, at those flags. I then got out the 9-, 7- and 5-irons and alternated those clubs. I hit the 9-iron pretty solidly, but the 7- and 5-irons I hit nasty hooks at first. I gradually got the longer clubs straightened out, but still tended to draw them instead of hitting them straight.
Next, I got out the long clubs (driver, 3- and 5-woods, and 3-hybrid) and hit those clubs. I hit the driver pretty well, but had difficulty at first with the others. I soon worked them out, though, and even hit a decent 3-wood. The 5-wood I struck pretty respectably today, even off the deck.
Next, I ran the pin-hunting drill. I had a shaky start, but finished strong, hitting 10 of 20 shots with a score of 4 or 5 (on a 1 to 5 scale), so I was pretty happy.
I ended practice hitting lob- and x-wedge shots at the flags in front of the hazard. I also tried a few cut lobs with the x-wedge, but only managed one good cut lob. I finished practice hitting a couple of shots with the 5-wood and 3-hybrid off the deck and a couple of drives. My final set of shots were pretty good and I finished practice with a grin on my face.
I then went to the putting green. My distance control sucked on longer putts, but my short putting was pretty good.
A fine day for practice. I managed to get in a pretty good practice today, lacking only chipping and bunker work.
