I was at the range before my round and someone had left a whole buch o' balls plus I had the bucket I had bought and I had plenty of time so I got inventive.
I started hitting shots with my 5 iron for all different distances and trajectories. I spent a lot of time trying to hit a target green about 100 yds away with a modified punch/chip sort of stroke. Got to where I could hit a low running shot and put the ball on the target green with that 5 iron fairly consistently.
First hole, good drive but sliced my 6 iron approach into the trees on right.
Got to my ball, there was a clear line between the trees to front of green about 100 yards away, but overhanging branches preventing me from hitting a normal pitching wedge.
I remembered my practise, pulled out my 5 iron, got into the same stance I was practicing, made the stroke - PERFECT! Right to front of green - acutally front fringe. Chipped, 1 putt for a boge.
I was mighty pleased. Downhill from there, but the first hole was just great.
