Weird times...

I snuck out for a quick nine to prep for tomorrow's tournament and to get a grip (no pun intended) on the "new old" swing.

Jeckyl and Hyde my friends... Jeckyl and Hyde...

I had 4 pars 3 doubles and 2 bogies. 4 out of the 9 holes felt so easy with this swing that it was laughable. 3 woods off of tee into middle fairway about 250 or 260, wedge to 12 or 18 feet, 2 putts, next hole...

Then some holes, I felt like I was "mixing" the two swings and all hell broke loose. Weird pushes, occasional tops or thins... And I knew full well it was happening while I swung, cause I could feel myself doing it.

(One of the bogies actually even made me smile. Started off with a topped tee shot into the drink. Retee and hit 22* utility about 230 middle fairway for the Jeckyl/Hyde effect. Hit a choked and abbreviated lob wedge from about 50 yards. It lands 5 inches from the hole, hits the flag and rolls about 12 feet away. 1 putt; count em up for a surprise bogie...)

Anyways, the swing change feels like it should take seat rather quickly and it looks promising for the long-run.
