Day 41: Hybrid Time

Today I went to the range and hit a lot of 8 irons and a lot of hybrid shots.
I was pushing my hybrid to the right and then the swing coach came over and asked me if 'staying behind the ball means anything to me'?
I said yes.
The next ball I hit - while staying behind the ball - I ripped down the middle.
He walked away saying, 'that should do it.'
Once he walked away, I butched my next shot.
However, I know what I need to do with this club - it's just a matter of doing it over and over again.
With my last 10 balls, I hit my driver and was hitting it pretty well.
I just need to find that consistent tempo - it's a magical place - and when you find it, you ride it for as long as you can.
After I hit the bucket of balls, I went over to the chipping green and chipped 3 balls from all around the green - at different lengths and from different lies. I am making pretty solid impact 95% of the time now - I still have to dial in the touch - thank goodness for 39 more days.
Staying consistent with my new regiment, I finished with 3 chips from about 20 feet. I holed my first and my third chip, so I decided to call it a day. Prior to those chips, I did not think that they would be my last 3 chips of the day, but after I holed the second chip I figured it was a good time to throw in the towel and finish on a high note.
