Driving Range

Headed over to the driving range tonight after work and before another meeting. I struck the ball as well as I ever have I'd say. I didn't spend much time at all with the driver... I hit maybe five drives, just enough to hit a couple strait and move on.

My practice swing thoughts really helped tonight:

  1. Athletic Stance - both knees bent. Keep right knee bent through swing

  2. Balance - both left to right and front to back... all the way through the swing.

  3. Watch grip - Most clubheads have been turned a little left at set-up so I'm checking that in my pre-shot routine

  4. Pick the Ball
  5. - Dr. Chili Dipper here. Keeping my spine angle constant and not lunging are the key.


Thats about it... it went great. I was having a good time.

One Ball

Played the whole round with one ball yesterday. I love it! It was pretty beat up by the time I was finished, but I didn't lose the little blighter! I had purchased 3-4 dozen Nike TA2 Spins last fall in a Target sale... it was one of those.

The new Vokey Oil Can wedges I'm using put a suprising amount of spin on the ball and shred the ball in the process. I love the spin and the look of these wedges.

Shot a paltry 93... too many three putts and a few shanks are holding me back. They had just punched the grees and reading speed was crazy, but no real excuse.

Vital Shank Killing Tips

Remember this Smith:
Head behind the ball.
Right hand is along for the ride... let the left hand lead the dance.
Swing at 60% and as relaxed as a bend in the Mississippi river
