So most years around where I live the driving ranges and courses open in mid April. The last few years I have told myself I wasn’t going to play a round until about the first week of May. My thinking was that I would just go out and practice my butt off for a couple of weeks and get my swing “grooved” and nock off all the rust before I played my first round. The last two years I would have to say my scoring improved but my ball striking wasn’t really the greatest. Come to think of it the years my ball striking was the best was the years I didn’t hit the range all that much.
This year I have been doing things kind of backwards. I played two rounds before I even hit the range, and I only hit a half of bucket of balls this year total. I have five rounds in this year and my ball striking has been very good. My scoring hasn’t been the greatest mid 80’s but it’s mainly because of poor touch around the greens, not too worried just a little work around the chipping greens and I will be good to go. I going to take a nonchalant approach to my ball striking this year. Besides the occasional half a bucket of balls before a round, I’m just not going to pound bucket after bucket on the range. I think when I spend a lot of time on the range I start over thinking and getting too many swing thoughts and it kind of screws me up.
