I had a pretty bad day at the range today. I was trying everything to combat my fade. My timing was completely off - a lot of time I was finishing off balance. After a while, I started hitting balls in half. It was bad news. However, I hit my very last ball on the screws with my 7-iron - it felt great. I took my club back pretty flat coupled with a big shoulder turn and snapped my body around and caught the ball perfectly. It felt great.
After hitting balls, I went down to the chipping green and bumped 3 balls around. I am getting used to hinging my wrists on the way back and bringing my arms through the shot. It takes more practice than I gave it today, but I can see where you can get the necessary feel for distance control. I will do this again tomorrow and give it a little more time.
I finished the day with some putts. I ended up putting from one hole to another hole about 20 feet away and then back to the first hole. One way was downhill and coming back was uphill. I just kept going back and forth, back and forth.
It is August 24 and the sun is starting to set a little earlier now. It was dark when I left around 7:45pm. Summer is waning, Fall will be here soon. I need to get on my horse if I am going to break 80 - only 18 days remaining!
