So for the participants, what's next in your golfing life? I know the post event blues are real, but I'm trying to look forward to the next thing.
For me it's back to lessons, working on more swing change stuff to get a proper swing and more distance. It's crazy, before my lesson I was warming up with my driver on the launch monitor, just smashing away at the ball and watching a huge draw. My shortest was 211, my longest was 244. That's coming off a typical drive that topped out at 200 yds.
I'm working with my coach on getting my lower body engaged in the swing. Of course on the very first lesson, I'm suddenly bashing my 9i with 120+ yds of carry (my 9i was my 100yd club at Legacy). On the one hand it's disappointing that I didn't do as much work on full swing because I didn't want to be mid-swing-change for Legacy. On the other hand, hitting a club longer would have been nice.
My Legacy prep was a huge step forward for me in my golf game, but it was a huge step on a very long road. My goal now is to work on a swing change through the summer and hopefully keep these distance gains. Then in the fall combine that with what I've learned about strategy and short game and see how low I can push my handicap by the end of the year. I feel like rounds under 90 is attainable for me at this point, which would be completely awesome. I told my coach back in January when I started lessons that my goal was to consistently break 100 this year, shoot mid-90's next year, and ultimately I wanted to be a teens handicap. Thanks to Legacy, I've already met the goal of shooting under 100 several times, and I bet with some more rounds going forward the consistent mid-90's will be happening pretty quick. I'm fired up to keep improving my game.
I can't even begin to think about it. But I have an Iowa outing this weekend, so I'm going to start there.
