I've had 2 poorish sessions at the range this week (Monday & Tuesday) not really overcoming the issues I was attempting to address and was a little concerned going into my B-team away match yesterday for my new club and at a course I'd not played before.
I didn't need to worry though, although I started with a bogey, then a treble after catching a deep fairway bunker, I then put 6 pars and 1 birdie together and I was 6-up on the turn and 3 over gross for the front 9
I nearly had the dog licence on the 12th but didn't make the tight corner on the dogleg long enough to get to the green in 2 but finished it off on the par3 13th with another par for a 6&5 win
I did have some poor holes then after the match was already won, more down to relaxing and not concentrating as much, especially on some short (less than 4ft) putts and a couple of snap tee shots, I think this just shows me how much of this daft game is in the head, but, it also tells me that I just don't get on with working at the range off the mats. Going by those 2 days Monday & Tuesday I was really Tom Kite, but once on the course I was off the tee really well (3w+), flushing my approach shots into the greens really well especially with my 4i and those that were short, I chipped close for single putts.
Does anyone else not get the best out of going to range, is going to the range all that, or is it best to get on the course and work out any issues out their on your own?
I'm not wasting £5 for 70 balls per session again
I've got Charity Golf Day today, lets hope the form continues but unfortunately the weather looks like being very wet
