I took a 9 iron, selected an intermediate target around two foot in front the ball, set up the swing. It felt like slow motion as the ball came off the clubface with absolutely no sensation, arced high in to the air, dead straight towards the pin, came down two feet in front, rolled on around four feet then zipped back two. What a great feeling! Tapped down for a birdy and the hole.
mine was a hole rather than a single shot
my game is suffering at present due mainly to lack of play/practise because of 2 week holiday and heavy workload.
yesterday i had played 4 holes of a 4BBB bogey comp and would quite gladly have come off course there and then.
i hit my irons fat and thin, i was driving the ball like a 7 year old girl!
then came the 5th,from nowhere i hit a sweet drive that just stopped short of the water ditch i had 150ish to go and hit a nice 6 iron draw which came up just short of the green as i underestimated the wind.im now still 35ft from the pin so i played a 9 iron chip that all but dropped in the hole and tapped in for par.
after that my chipping was spot on and had tap ins on another 4 holes
