Fri 11 Jan 2013 Practice 100 + Balls then Lesson

Friday afternoon practice before lesson.

Hit 9i, Pw, Sw and 60deg.

Then 7, 5, 4, 4r and 5W.

I have had worse practices. A good warm up to my lesson.

Lesson started on 60deg Xmas present. I have to grip half way down, put ball in centre of stance and hit it lightly but get under it. Practice required on this.

Then a general swing checkout using 5i. For me this is risky since I have been happier on lesser clubs. Anyway dont panic just hit it. Use a wider stance for a bit of stability. Practice the half takeaway with no wist movement. I did feel that I was happier to hit a 5i in my lesson than I would have been 6 months ago. Progress?

Good lesson.

This is what my teacher said:

Setup: make sure feet are shoulder width and square. Practice in mirror.

Swing: Turn hands out 1/2 way way back practice 1/2 swing.

Lob wedge: 40/50 Yards max. Smooth swing, soft wrists, go right through.

Will watch feet position and practice 1/2 swing.
