It was a boring back nine.
I hit all the greens and two putted every one for a smooth 36. Lots of kick in pars.
The course is still pretty wet. There is no roll on the fairways. Lots of shots hit the green and spun back. I don't think I'm hitting the ball that much better!
The front was a different story. Not all pars, though I did have one birdie. My irons continue to but weapons of mass destruction. I had a lot of good birdies chances and putted pretty well.
I'm not sure what I shot, Hmm, after thinking about it, it was a 37 or 38, so we are talking 73 or 74 for the round. One of my better ever, though I was not playing from lengthy tees.
I was trying to get a good wrist cock. I usually like to roll the wrists and the club behind my back and then make a hero move to get the club head back to the ball. That doesn't work very well and I cannot recommend it. Taking it back with a flat wrist and a more upright motion kept the club in front of me. It made it pretty easy to move the ball around.
It was nice to be so consistent.
I won't play until Monday. I'll try to get to the range this weekend and see if I can ingrain a bit of what I am doing.
I put distance clips on my clubs (http://www.distanceclips.com/), which I found very useful and a nice addition.
I've been using a Bushnell distance finder for a number of years. I have a gps watch, Bushnell too, that I don't turn on much. But then I know the home course awfully well.
Ping irons, S56s I think. Musty Putter - wood and classic!, Ping G30 driver with an old Olimar trimetal 3 wood that has to be 15 years old. I like its looks however. Wedges are TaylorMade and I think I talked about them in a prior post.
I've been playing with a pro v1x ball for the last few rounds. Actually the same ball. I'm not sure it's the current version of the ball, but I like the feel of it.
