| Re: Just ordered mine!
I played a sunday game and I put the 3skills into practice on the golf course. My drives are definately improving but I really need to focus on the draw for each shot. When i don't it results in a leaked shot out to the right, but when I do it shapes beautifully with a draw into the middle of the fairway. I was about 50% with my wood on Sunday, but the ones that weren't accurate didn't get me into huge trouble. My irons too were shaping nicely on some holes but whereas I used to have a pretty straight shot with my irons, and now i am trying to draw them, I am finding my accuracy to the greens a little worse that before. I know this just needs some adjustment on the driving range. Again, i was probably 50% on accuracy. So all in all, the 3skills has helped me be more consistant and keep swing thoughts out of it. I defo need to hone my skills on having a more consistant strike which i'll do by getting to the driving range a couple of times a week. However, i've noticed that my 5-wood and my 19deg rescue club off the deck are shaky to say the least. Does anyone have advice how to play these clubs properly? I bought a new putter on Saturday and that really did wonders for my putting. I've gone with a centre shaft putter and found it much easier to keep my line and strike the sweet spot. I had 28 putts this round compared with 35 the last couple of weeks, had no 3 putts and most of my first putts came within a whisker of dropping. I ended up with 30 points on a rain-soaked miserable day. It would have been much much better except for the fact I landed in a bunker on 4 holes and had a Hamlet moment on each of them. I think i took 4 shots to get out of 2 of them and 2 shots for the other two......any advice on how to get out of deep wet greenside bunkers would be greatly appreciated.  |
