Have You Hit The Wall

    I got to 7, then did a Padraig Harrington and got some lessons 'to take the extra step' forward to maybe get to 5/6. Was working on more wrist break at the top to take the club back farther. Made shoight of my game. Trying to shorten my swing again so I can get lower again. Messed up game. Only talented golfers in my opinion can hold single figures playing less that once per week. Im probably truly a 12. Work hard I can go low but life doesn't allow for enough time.

    But how do you go lower then ? 18 shots per round.

    Theres a north korean dictator who could answer that for you :)

    I dont think so. He only had four holes-in-one in the round when he tried the game. So for his first round, yes, pretty good. But a long way a way from the wall. Would have been great to see him had he really applied himself.

    My problem is taht I identify something that needs work, and while I'm doing that, something else falls away.

    Recently I wasn't happy with my iron striking, so did a few weeks work, and now I feel such an improvement. Really crisp, penetrative flight. And now my driving has gone to ****, something that was so reliable all summer.

    think I'm good when it comes to practice. I take a few couple houred sessions a week, and just work a problem out. Make something stick. But there in lies the problem. I focus so much on one thing, I nearly ignore the rest.

    I'm also a horrible tinker(er) when it comes to my swing. Always want to change stuff. Because I'm not consistent in my play, I feel like something is broken, so need to change. I'd LOVE to see my results going three months not changing something.

    I'm heading out tonight for just "practice". Get things moving ahead of a golf outing with work on Friday. I've for once nothing specific to work on, just out to hit balls. But I'll put any money that I'll come back here tonight and tell you I changed something.
