For me things that I'm working on regarding game improvement are the following... 1. Having undergone a complete swing change since February 2011 my coach and I are using time stuck indoors to pound tempo in my head. Ways that we worked on tempo was several rounds where I used nothing more than a 9 iron. Or buckets of strictly wedge. We are going to work on mechanics as we see fit (i.e. taking the club back too fast). that's one of the several reasons that I spend most all my practice time hitting irons, working to develop better tempo and rhythm 2. Course Management. I've always been good at it but there is room for improvement. boy don't I know that to be true ! The one thing that I don't do well is utilize my main shot (2-5 yard draw) by teeing it up on the left side of the block effectively eliminating the left side. as far as trying the hero shot that bounces off of 4 trees just end up costing you strokes has never been an issue. I'm still trying to develop that 'main shot' and to know that I can 'count on it' ..... instead of a 'go to' club, I want that 'go to shot' Alex
Accurate approach shots from 150 and in. Doing lots of putting in my living room - working on a nice slow and smooth takeaway with the putter as I was getting way to quick and choppy.
For me, it's driving and chipping. I'm a pretty strong iron player and good with putter. My chipping is horrible, a crap-shoot. With driver, length isn't the issue, it's direction. But, fingers crossed, I may have ironed things out the past two times at the range. I simply think about my takeaway as low, long, and slow. I think I was getting a bit too vertical in my takeaway. I'd driven the ball better than I have in two years, hopefully it translates to the course.
Anything inside 150. Which is wedge play I guess.
2 things for me. Driver has gotten very sloppy over the past 2-3 months. Earlier in the summer I was driving better (accuracy) than I had ever been. Somehow that has gotten off track with old habits working themselves back into my swing. I can't swing by a range to tinker so I'm reliant upon getting out in the yard and taking slow motion reps without a ball. If I don't get off the tee well then I'm struggling on a hole, taking a drop puts be behind the 8 ball and honestly it's difficult to recover at my skill level. me too, however I'm finding that over the past several months that many times I've been surprised, even amazed, that I was able to get a boggie after taking a stroke .... it seems like I'm getting better at the recovery than I used to be. 75 yds and in with 54* and 58* wedges. Missing to many greens or putting the ball in the wrong place. That's mostly what happens to me, funny thing is, I gripe that it's in the wrong place on the green, the reality of it is, at my level I'm doing good, and internally happy, to be ON THE GREEN ! :-) It's my goal to be able to place the ball within a range that gives me a good chance to get up and down a high percentage of the time. Not so much working on different types of shots, I can flight the ball low or high but accuracy is really hurting me now. I got a good tip from someone earlier this week on how they became a good wedge player and I plan on implementing a portion of that.
