Another Monday

And back to the golf course...

I was trying to get to the driving range yesterday, but the wind was blowing 25 or so and it was too windy to chip.  I had no need to try and hit any full shots, so I called it a day.  My back got a twinge in it and some time off was probably prudent.

I watched a lot of the Safeway open, which was played an hour up the road from here.  They had some of the wind too on Sunday.  It was a play off finish.  I do like how Ryan Moore hits the ball.

I was trying to incorporate some of Ryan's nice wrist set today.  It was a day of much distance and good ball striking.  Add to that some putts were dropping. 

In addition to the wrist cock, I'm getting more athletic in my back swing.  I'm allowing the lower body to do some moving.  I think I've been trying to lock everything up for control.  The new movements are as accurate, easier to do, and it feels a lot more powerful.  The swing seems to have a nice solid base from which I can swing.  

It feels very liberating.  I was tempted to go to the range after playing today and try to cement in the feeling.

Tomorrow is another day and I'll get out a bit later than early morning and see how it goes.
