Twas a dark, wet, and cold morning and I went out to struggle with the demon par. This was after a needed day off on Tuesday, where aches were soothed and doped.
It was an uneven front nine, where I managed to struggle to a 40. Lots of pars, but the dreaded others were there too.
I hooked with a 3 some, which slowed me down and helped my tempo. I managed to par out once I joined them.
The back started ok, but ragged. Two quick bogies.
Then, while trying to figure out what the heck I do on the range and don't (or do) on the course, it occurred to me that I don't take a full shoulder turn on the course. Hmm, I thought, perhaps I ought to make make sure I do that.
Most of golf theory suggests a full shoulder turn will help with timing and a touch of power. Who am I to argue with that?
So I'm on 14 by this time, three over par, and I go par, par, birdie, birdie, par to end it all. Now there were close birdie putts on all the pars too. I hit all the greens and all the fairways and got the driver out there. Pretty much a different game when all that was happening.
So, I'm excited that I may have worked out my course/range issue. I'll see what happens tomorrow.
