Range Notes 12/11/16

If you have read the prior post, I was off to the range to apply Bobby Lopez's lessons on staying on sides while whacking the ball.

I was able to do this without too much trouble.  It provided the following:

• Less body movement, less moving parts and thus better consistency.
• Much higher ball flight, better carry distances.

I was able to do this while chipping as well as the long game. 

If it's a good idea, let's see if it applies to putting too!  I found that it did.  I was trying to line the left shoulder point up with the ball for all the shots and putts and chips and pitches. 

I'm a pretty happy camper.  I'll be playing on Monday and we'll see how it goes.  I'll be at my home course, which is a comfortable place for me to play. 

It's Xmas party season, so Tuesday, normally at Wente, will be spent over eating instead.  Hmm, I probably have time for some holes at Las Po instead! 

Stay tuned.
