Another thought, Ricky, is to play a 2 ball worst ball with yourself. Hit two balls, play the worst one. See how well you can score if your 'swing is off'.

Another thing would be just practicing fun shots. You know the ones; serious fried eggs that you stick close, wrapping sharp hooks around trees, only to find the green, that kind of thing.

Ryan Moore is the only player since Tiger Woods to win the U.S. Amateur then win enough money with his PGA exemptions to keep his PGA card. Ryan (pre wrist injury) could get up and down from just about anywhere. And I mean just about anywhere. Thick rough? No problem. Fried egg? Serves up the bacon. Downhill lie to a short pin? He'll just jug it.

Can you get up and down like a mad man? The seniors who score well at your course don't do it with length, do they? They either hit greens and two putt, or they get up and down. This, too, is your answer. But you know this.

In fact, if you have the discipline, it could be a wonderful motivator, tied in with your fitness regime. Put some balls down in the practice bunker. Bury them. For each ball that doesn't get close (you define what close is, based on your bunker play), you run a quarter mile. Or a half mile. Again, you know what your fitness level is. Once you're consistently making sure you're not running, it's time to up the ante. More balls, and the definition of close has to shrink. Do it from bunkers, push balls down into the rough, stick it close from a short side.... find the toughest lies you can find, then find ways to make them mundane.

A new highlight: Golfing the home course on Christmas Day.

I say it too often: If it's golf club shaped, you can play with it.

For the record, I'm a club doctor, not a swing doctor.
