Spent the past few days at the range working on my game, Thursday I hit the ball well, continuing my solid play as of late, but Friday was kind of a struggle. On Thursday, worked a lot with my driver trying to figure out how to hit it more solid and found that I was getting too steep again. Went flatter and hit about 10 drives in a row in the true center of the club face to end my night. Hearing that sound that a flush driver makes, is just music to my ears, one of my favorite sounds on earth is the sound of a pure flush golf shot! After the great ending to my range session on Thursday night, I decided to head back again on Friday night to keep working on it. This is why golf is so frustrating!! I felt like I was doing the exact same thing I did the night before, but could not find a flush golf shot. I hate feeling like you just took a few steps back after taking so many steps forward over these past few weeks, but I’m just going to forget about that range session and chalk it up to the difficulty of golf. I felt myself getting frustrated again near the end of the practice session as I could tell I was hitting the ball below what I’m capable of. I was just getting too mechanical again instead of just letting it flow and swinging with a target in mind. So I’m throwing away this range session away in my mind, moving past it and keeping positive and focused on my end goal.
Been about 2 weeks since my last lesson from my instructor, was going to wait until Tuesday this week to go see him because I thought I would be playing a round this weekend, but plans fell through, so I might try and book one for tomorrow, Sunday. Wanted to get a short game lesson in, but after last night’s range session, I think I need a tune up with the longer clubs. Really confident in my short game right now, what I’m doing right now is working, so I’ll hold off on that until next lesson, need to figure out this long swing and get more consistent.
I did get a new putter grip installed and got my putter head re-glued as it was coming loose. I forgot to take a picture of my original putter before I took it up, but I’ll show you a picture of how it looks now. I put on a jumbo sized tiger shark grip probably about 6 months back, thinking it would help with my putter grip and be more comfortable. I liked it and I putted well with it on, but I could just never really get into the feeling, it just did not fit my hands very well and was a little too big. Been looking at midsize grips for the past few weeks and I love the feel, design and size of this white Winn midsize grip I found. Has a very soft tacky feel, the midsize is a little bigger than standard, but not overly, just right for me. I putted a little with it yesterday and absolutely love the way it looks and feels. Here are some pictures of the new grip and the old grip I had for comparison (Yes I’m left handed!)
