I didn't bother playing this week but went to the practice ground instead, mostly alternating batches of 5 balls between mid / short irons and a 3W with the single intention of replicating the feel and the tempo of the iron with the wood.

After a little while it clicked, and until the last dozen ("lets make these special"), I was hitting some OK shots.

So, some work to do yet and so far only the range, but thanks for the sound advice - my winter resolution is to commit to tempo
