Just back from the range and it was a very productive session despite the rain. I strengthened up that grip a bit and was hitting my irons beautifully to the targets I picked out. For the most part balls were flying straight at the target or with a little draw, any misses were slight hooks.

Woods straightened up too, but were mostly fades or straight. I was even able to land my 80% of balls hit with my driver on an imaginary fairway between 2 flags on the range.

Can't wait to hit the course now. I am usually terrible at the range as I lose focus and get bored easily but despite the rain I managed to keep myself interested by playing an imaginary round, i.e hit a driver at a target then an iron or a fairway wood and so on.
