Wet and Muggy
Last night, I practiced at the Hank Haney Golf Ranch in Lewisville. Heavy thunderstorms had rolled through the area, so there was standing water on some areas of the range and the humidity and mosquitos were stifling.
I warmed up with a little Tour Tempo while swinging the pitching wedge. My tempo was pretty good, so I turned off the iPod and moved on to hitting a mix of 8- and 5-irons. I was hitting the 8-rion pretty good, but the 5-iron was a little spotty, so I added the 6-iron into the mix. Pretty satisfied, so I moved on to the longer clubs. I hit all the longer clubs pretty well, except the driver, which refused to cooperate at all, except for a booming push well right of target or two. To finish up on the range, I went through the bag, trying to hit a good shot with each club. With the exception of the driver, I succeeded.
Next, I went to the putting green to practice my putting. First, I attempted to hit 10 in a row from 3 ft, but never got past 9 putts in a row, so I moved on to my usual speed drill. The speed drill went pretty well, but my putting was hampered by sand on the putting green, pulled up, no doubt, by the heavy rain earlier in the day. I finished up with a few lag putts from 30 ft and called it a day.
