| I appreciate your comments. A few items come to mind though:
1. Putting - my putting is decent, not fantastic, but not my weakness (usually in the 34 - 37 putts/round range). I do practice putting but at this time of year, I get cold just going out to putt, so I don't spend as much time on it as I should. While this would help me drop strokes, this has been the most consistent part of my game. It's above average, but not great.
2. Practicing "properly" - I like to think that I do this, but I do know that I need more work in this area. I have an imitation Inside Approach that I like to use in combination with a Plane Stik to work on my swing path and plane. I work on contact drills, as well as a few other specific types of practice (such as release), but do definitely need to work on more practice types. I don't generally have "poor practice" habits, in that I like to go through at least a semblance of my routine and not just pound drivers all day long. I also actually try to correct and work on specific things while practicing, such as keeping my right leg bent on my backswing (which is coming along nicely).
3. Lessons - I do have a series of lessons to take, but have problems spending the money on lessons when there isn't anything specific that I need to work on (which was sort of how I was feeling in October when things were really coming together). I need to start using them though, because my own work isn't working on getting me any better like I want to do.
Good points.  |
