Better…
Today after work, I went to hit some balls at Hank Haney Golf Ranch in Lewisville. I planned to work on the issues that gave me problems yesterday, namely, tempo and tension. For the most part, I had success. The weather was cool and sunny, with a soft breeze from the southwest.
I started off hitting soft 7-iron half-swings, working on tempo and (lack of) tension. I then switched to the 8-, 6-, and 4-irons, hitting half and 3/4 swings until I felt my tension and tempo were good. With the exception of the 3-iron, I hit the ball pretty well during this drill.
Next up were the driver and 3-metal. I hit the driver pretty well today, and the 3-metal not so good, but still a bit better than yesterday.
Finally, I finished up practice with the pin-hunting drill. Very mixed results, generally good with the short irons, middlin’ with the long irons, and mixed with the driver and 3-metal. The last two drives were huge slices, don’t know where those came from, as my usual problem is low hooks. Very few of those today.
