Day 75: Work Those Irons, Boy

Today I was back at the range with one thing in my mind - short irons.
I need to find consistency in my mid to short irons.
I have to find out what I am doing wrong and correct it asap.
If my driver and chipping continue to help me and my putting stays consistent, then all I will need to do is improve the iron game in order to put together a great round.

I practiced the majority of time with my 8, 9, PW and SW. I also hit my 5-iron, driver and hybrid each about 4 balls worth - I hit them all pretty well, too - this made me happy.

My big focus was to keep my head steady and keep it at or a little behind the ball at all times. Not only am I doing that, but I am also keeping my head down thru the shot. I also focused on bending my knees and pooching out my butt a little bit at the set-up. Once I have my alignment all squared away, I focus on becoming still before taking the club away low and slow. If I can do all these things correctly, the chances of hitting a good shot are dramatically increased.
