First 18 holes and driving range

[edingc]

I got a chance to play 18 holes on Wednesday at what has become my "home" course as of late. It has dried up a lot here this week, and it was in the mid-60s with little wind when I played.

I shot an 87 (41 on the front, 46 on the back). It should have been better, but I fell apart with a pair of eights on both par-5 finishing holes.

Friday I went to the range to work on my ball striking. I'm doing a better job of making solid contact with the ball, but I am constantly fighting an urge to flip the club at impact. While it was windy Friday, I was having lots of problems getting distance out of my irons.

I'm pretty sure the root of my problem is coming back and through at too steep of an angle. The only way I can get good contact is too flip the wrists like that. I'm going to focus on taking a flatter plane to the ball the next time I go out.
