Thursday was probably one of my worst driving range sessions I'd had all year. Started off just ok then shots were going every which way; left, right, topped, chunked. The only shot that ended up straight was a pull slice. I learned that I can pull a PW halfway across the driving range. Needless to say I was really down on my golf game since I've been slowly improving of late. Decided to cut out of work early on Friday to go back to the range to erase the memory of Thursday. Went in with a good attitude and a couple of swing keys that I wanted to focus on. The golf gods were smiling on me and I made some real improvements with my irons. I got on a roll with my 9I and just kept pummeling that target flag with it. Instead of going through the rest of my bag, I just kept at it with the 9I to hopefully instill in my mind and muscles what a good shot was. Still managed to top a few shots, and had to leave before I got all the way through my second large bucket but all in all left the range in a much better place than Thursday. Went back to the range today and had an even better session than Friday. What was really encouraging was that instead of hitting that 50 yard top, my miss was hitting the ball thin. Still had some wayward shots left and right, but more along the lines of unexpected fades and draws rather than hooks and slices. Long story short, although I took two big steps back on Thursday, I feel like I took about five steps forward after Friday and today.
