I had my 3rd lesson today from my new instructor, wow this guy knows his stuff. But I guess when you train under Ledbetter you'd have to? He tweeked my grip a bit more, had me straighten my right knee out a bit where I had it kicked in to much, and opened up my stance a bit and low and behold I was hitting my irons beautifully with a touch of a draw. Probably 8 out of 10 where almost perfect hits, and even the misses were close to where I wanted them to go, well, some were pretty ugly, :laugh:. At the end of my lesson I asked him if he could look at my driver swing since that's what I've been having the most trouble with. After a couple of changes to my alignment and strengthening my grip a bit I started hitting my driver straight as an arrow, or with a workable fade if I really tried to swing for the fences. The range at this course where he teaches is only 250 yards long, with woods at the end of it, and after a about 15 balls he walked over and asked me to switch to my 3 irons because I was knocking them deep into the woods, :laugh:.
I have a tee time set up for tomorrow and I can't wait! I can't remember being this excited about a round of golf in a long time. I really think I've turned a corner on my game. I know there are going to be bad rounds still in the future, tomorrow may even be one of them, but I now know that I CAN hit the ball well and straight, so at least I see the light at the end of the tunnel,
