Every now and then, I like to spend my day off putting in some serious work on my game rather than playing a round, today was one of those days. Here is my schedule that I followed today.
Got to the range at about 10 am and hit a few to loosen up and get the blood moving. I then went through a bucket (100) of balls with just my wedges, working on different trajectories and flight. Then headed over to the short game area where I spent three hours working on chips and pitches ranging from the fringe to fifty yards out. Then back to the range for a bucket of short irons (7, 8, 9) again working on shot shape and trajectory.
Took a quick break for some food and then hit the putting green for a couple of hours. Spent a lot of time using the two tee drill, spacing them out just a hair wider than my putter head and making sure that I came back to the ball squarely . I finished putting with the circle drill that Mickelson does, I got to 77 the first time and 67 the second before making all 100 in a row. I also did the ladder drill to work on distance control from longer distances.
Went back to the range for a bucket of long irons (3,4,5 & 6) working on the same as with the other irons. After that I spent about an hour in the bunker working on greenside explosions and 40-50 yard shots. Then hit a bucket of woods. Finished up with another hour on the short game area and putting green.
All in all, it was a very productive day of practice, about 10 hours of work on my game, lots of good things came out of it and am striking the ball better than at any other point this season.
