Alrighty.
I had a previously planned round of golf scheduled this morning with my buddies, I really don’t feel ready for that, as anyone following probably knows, but I figured I would try to make the best of it.
I got up an hour early so that I could go out back and try to work on just a couple small things before I went. I tried to just focus on the first two Covid drills and really focus on getting them right. Erik, please let me know if my form is still off on these, and ignore me mumbling to myself 😂
Obviously, none of this will fix my steep and OTT tendencies so I tried to just really focus on trying to make a more shallow swing while I was playing. On the positive side, I have gotten very consistent on striking the ball. I make very solid contact practically every swing and the ball carries well…on the flip side my miss was still a very hard slice. I had several good shots today, about 4 drives that were dead straight, but I think that these are likely times when I was still too steep, I just happened to get lucky and got the club face perfectly squared up prior to impact.
I managed a 98 today, which is right about where I ended last season scoring. Im happy to be breaking 100 more often, but I know I have a lot to work on to get this right and make some real, sustainable progress.
I think this next week I am going to focus on finding a way to make an overly shallow downswing and see how that feels. Then maybe I can work it back and find the happy medium? To be continued.
