So I had a lot of visitors from out of town and a weekend retreat last week so I havent golfed in almost a month. It sucks. I did hit the range at least once a week and twice this week.
I'll be camping this weekend really close to a 9 hole course and on Saturday I'm going to walk at least 9, Sunday walk a hilly 18 and probably walk 18 on Monday. Depending on hangovers.
Any tips for going from no golf to ironman golf. lol. Its not really that big a challenge but the rest of the day on Saturday, Sunday and Monday I will be surfing, swimming, spearfishing etc.

Keep It Simple

Be conscious of your grip pressure and keep it light. Swing a little easier than usual. Also be conscious of what changes in your swing when you get rusty. When I am hitting the ball well the club makes it all the way around my body in the follow through so the clubhead and my right shoulder are facing the target. If I haven't played in a while my follow through shortens quite a bit. The cause is loss of flexibility and too much tension in my body.

In my Bag:

Driver - SLDR 430 - 10.5 deg
3 Wood - SLDR HL
Irons - TM Tour CB's                                                                                                                                                                 Wedges - TM                                                                                                                                                                               Putter - Odyssey White Ice 2 Ball

Like yuo're holding a baby bird or an egg. Hold it, but no squeeze.

Thanks. Ill hit less than normal before each round and just work on feel, finesse and shoulder turn. And I will bring advils. I get MEAN hangovers. And Pseudoephedrine for diving/surfing.

If those advils arent already packed and my old lady woulda forget them then I owe bwdial at least a few beers if not a sleeve of pro v-1s. I would have been miserable without them. THANKS!
