Well, I thought I had turned the corner with my swing issues but yesterday's round did not go well. I figure if I'm going to insist on hitting the ball with the hosel I should at least have the best equipment for my new game...
May and June were simply deplorable from a game perspective, probably the worst I've played since coming back to the game three years ago. I spent some time with my pro a couple of weeks ago and I had gotten things back on track. Several range sessions over the last two weeks confirmed that my ball strking had come back (I even had a GREAT range session on Monday) however it all came crashing down again yesterday. I guess "all" is a bit much as I did manage to hit 9 fairways with a strong ball flight from the driver. The fairways were thick and wet so I was getting zero roll; pretty much fly 245, finish 248. I also had a decent day on the green finished the day with 30 putts (that includes two lip outs and three back-of-the-cup bounce outs). My problem was that I shanked just about every single 100yd wedge shot...
Oh well, take away the 3-putt on 18 and I would have been sub 90 so I guess I should keep things in perspective. I guess I'm also just irritated that I let my temper get the best of me yesterday on several occasions. Damn, sometimes I really dislike this game called golf!
