Range Sessions - March 17, 2012

Tees and Westover GC - Two Jumbo Buckets - 185 Minutes

Thoughts:
- New idea: feeling the COIL in back / left side. Think this was the feeling I was describing of shoulder hesitation in a prior post.

- Essential followup to coil is to feel trigger finger driving club-face squarely through at target

- Good grip, good posture and bring club back with good pace and on a more inside path

     - Do not let club go wide so end of having to lay it off

- When done right and with good timing, almost no side spin on balls. Too quick caused pushes when hands could not come all the way around.

Issues to work on:
- Feeling the coil and then starting downswing with all parts timing correctly
- Shaping the ball by using trigger finger to feel in to out and out to in

    - Tended to be too aggressive so should trying similar but swinging to right or left field.
- On short irons and chips, picking a spot 18" in front of ball to focus on swinging through to that point.

Worked on:
- 2 Jumbo buckets for 120 minutes: 40% Driver; 20% Long Irons; 20% Short Irons; 20% Wedges
- Putting for 40 minutes: 20'+ lag putting; circle at 36"
- Wedge for 25 minutes: mix of bunker play and 5-15 yard chips

- Westover range in sub-par condition with mostly sand and crabgrass. Very frustrating

Overall grade: A- at Tees; C at Westover range; B+ at Westover green
