Re: How much have you improved this year?

I have taken lessons weekly at the driving range all summer. I fixed a few “fundamentals” and at “driving ranges” I appear to be dramatically better than I am.

Although I have been out playing golf much less this summer, my driving range & lessons haven’t parlayed into a better score card. I think, since I took so many lessons, I put pressure on myself to achieve a lower score card and that pressure backfires. The golfing season is almost up here, and I am working on reducing the tension in my swing – until very recently, while golfing, I would focus on every aspect of my swing – ball position, where the weight is the angles, etc. The next time I am out, I will think differently and see what happens. I think the latter is a major factor. A few times I hit a really bad shot – annoyed I dropped another ball and hit it quickly – and the second shot was dead on and for the second shot I had no swing mechanics going through my head.
