They micro punched the greens at my local course this week. So on Monday I played the back 9 twice and today the front twice.
The front has been the harder for me over the years. A common score was 41 followed by 36 on the back.
And today was a bit like that. Ted and I tied at 45 on the front. I had my first snow man in a long time, but followed it up with a 36 on the replay. I left a number of birdies short as the greens were slowish and bumpy. That included a penalty stroke too. Thus I'm feeling good about my scoring, but the tee shots are still an issue.
I think I am still sliding a bit on all of my shots. I seem to be able to catch the irons, but frequently hit a bit of a push. I was trying to swing with my 9 iron tempo. That was ok, but didn't solve all of the issues.
So tomorrow - have I mentioned that retirement allows for a lot of golf? - I'm going to work on getting the lower body more active, particularly on the down swing. I'm not sure if I am shortening the wind up, so will look into that.
I heard from my mom that she used some of Monte's wrist cock and managed to get a few balls in the air. Yeah Monte!
