| Game analyse - the pros verdict Had my 9 hole game analyse today with our new club pro, boy he`s really good, but anyway i started my day with 100 balls at the range, and worked through all my clubs.
Then finally was on the 1st tee and he wanted me to play it as normal, and he`d watch, and i birdied it, he parred, 2nd hole and out comes the driver and bang, long and straight, out drove the pro, par for us both, the 3rd hole par 3 flanked by 2 huge bunkers, and i`m on in 1, again par for us both.
By now i was feeling very comfortable as we step up to play the par5, his advice was to lower the hands and shallow out, good advice, because i completely bombed my tee shot, 2nd shot i pull out my Sasquatch 4 wood, again his advice drop my hands slightly, and i ripped it, on the green in 2, bring it on.
Thinking i was playing some of my best golf until we reached the 7th hole, great drive, 4 wood ,60 yards left to pin, this is were i got totally found out, my short game is pants and though he was showing me what to do it will take some time to gain feel and distance, we more or less practiced this on the remaining hole, start to understand how to use the bounce of the club.
Back at the club house and he starts giving me the dreakdown, long game-on the money very good, short game needs working at, and putting was quite good, and his overall verdict, there is no was that i am 28 hcp, my long game is way to good for that, he reckons i`m a 15hcp and that is what my last pro said so i might stick in 3 cards soon and see what happens, overall i`m well pleased, got some tips and short game to work on, no use having 2 great shots to the green and a dodgy short game, this issue will be getting more attention.
