I played Sunday and Monday!! 2 games in two days - woohoo and in the sunshine I loved it!
I decided on Sunday to go and play a practise round at The Drift (the course my tournament is on next week). This is one tough track and it is going to be a tough 36 holes. It never ceases to amaze me how good the scoring is around this course in The PGA Southern Open every year. It is one tough track! It is tight and extremely bouncy. Normally under these conditions I would choose to play very cautiously from the tee. However, here, there are quite a few holes where you can't do this as the longer club you would be playing to the green with just won't hold the green!
I played ok, but it was frustrating. I hit so many decent approaches only to watch them hit the green and go straight off the back!! 36 holes of that next week is going to be frustrating. I'm hoping it might rain a bit in fact! I played the front 9 twice as the course was very busy and it is a nice course to play so I am looking forward to it.
I then played Lamberhurst on Monday and didn't have such a good day. There were a lot of blind dogleg holes where I didnt know where to go and this lead to some dodgy swings and some iffy shots. I hit a good few decent ones and closed out the round well so at least I went home on a high.
Then, tonight I went to the range and had another good session. Overall at the moment I am striking it great and hitting a lot of very good shots. I just need to get out on the course more.
One issue I am having at the moment is my alignment. I think this is a problem that many golfers struggle with. I mis-aim to the right a very high amount of the time and then when I get myself aligned properly it feels like I am aiming way left which I then either seem to steer or end up hitting left!! I think I just need to persevere with it until it gets more comfortable.
Not such a big blog tonight, been working lots at the surgery. All is good though...
