Practice 9/9/10

[MJP]

Worked on short game for about 2 1/2 hours and long game for 1 hour. Most of the practice was short game shots around the green. Did 30 minutes of solely putting as well.

Worked on hitting a push draw today at the range. I was getting the draw part down (even hooking sometimes) pretty well but couldn't get the ball to start out to the right until near the end of the bucket. I decided to weaken my left hand grip so the face was open maybe 5 degrees at address. This small fix was actually huge as it reduced the size of the hook (because the club face was more less closed relative to the swing path than before) as well as started the ball right of my target line. KEEP WORKING ON THIS!!

Couldn't do my 30y up and down test today as it was getting late and someone else wanted to use it (which is rare for after 6pm).

5 to 10y tight lie chips:vv even par with 14/14 up and downs. 6/14 within 3 feet and a ~5 ft average par putt length outside of 3 feet.

10y rough pitches: +4 par with 10/14 up and downs. 6/14 within 3 feet and a ~8ft average par putt length outside of 3 feet.

20y rough/tight lie pitches: +7 par with 7/14 up and downs. 1/14 within 3 feet and ~10 ft average par putt length outside of 3 feet.
