'A 30 something Beginners golf journey'

Friday, 2 July 2010

Due to the rain I headed upto the driving range after work last night. Got a couple of alignment sticks from the shop and started hitting balls.

I concentrated on full wedge shots, 54 degree wedge, 50 degree wedge and the Driver.

I started enjoying it and ended up using 160 balls! :S

I hit my wedges really nicely, that is in terms of contact, I also had good contact with the driver, but the results for all of them were less pleasing in terms of direction. With me aligned correctly my wedges went straight left maybe 10 degrees and my driver either blocked then faded or started straight and hooked left.

The driver was just wild and I believe I was swinging at it too hard and too fast last night so I backed off it and went back to wedges.

I ended up trying to swing more in to out to in and did succeed in getting my wedges more on line towards the end, indeed I was hitting them satisfyingly close to the target by the end and started trying slight cut shots which worked quite well and combined with trying to hit the ball first I was getting some good stop even with the range balls.
