Played a practice round today, hitting 2-3 balls for every shot (BLAZING hot here so the course was empty). Didn't keep score or anything, and for the most part it would not have been pretty if I did.

However on the fourth hole, I hit my driver and pulled it dead left. The breakthrough is that I actually "felt" what I did wrong, rolling my right hand over at impact. I hit my 2nd ball, just a nice controlled swing, and pasted it. I wished I had a gps so I could measure it. My honest guess, with carry... bout 325!!!

The wonderful thing is that, that was not the only highlight of the round. I quit hitting multiple balls on 8 and 9 because I needed to get off the course. I finished birdie, birdie!!! 8 & 9 are both par 5's, on 8 I was putting for eagle, hit some chunk of crap half way to the hole and missed the put by the amount the chunk moved the ball. On 9 I hit exactly the drive I wanted to hit (a rare occurrence), 3w to the fringe, and chipped to 2-feet!

I call it a successful day!

Being able to identify what is going wrong is always a great thing.

Last year I started to implement a few new ideas with my driver and I started to hook the ball. The problem with that was that because I implemented so many ideas I couldn't problem solve when things went wrong.

It was only last week that I realised that because I was not hinging my wrist enough this was resulting in a big hook every now and again.

It has got me thinking that the best time to implement changes is when you are swinging well because when you implement one change at a time and it gets worse then you can revert back more easily.

This is a huge step. Being an athlete my whole life and particular in baseball as a hitter once you play long enough you start to feel when you have a bad swings and learn what your doing wrong, and if your really good you can fix your own problems becuase you have a great feel for what you did. If you can learn how fix things in your golf swing on your own you will be well on your way to lowering that handicap. (I haven't quite gotten there yet but am still learning quite a bit) good luck and keep swinging!

Pull or Hook, because a pull would be an outside to inswing path with a clubface squared to the swing path. Is your normal shot shape a pull slice?
