So it’s actually 11% which makes me feel better. My HEM db was including all my tournies which had a pile of hungover donkaments I went busto in. I made some solid profit yesterday and today so I’m gaining confidence, still going to work hard at focussing and taking notes while I play and hopefully get things heading towards 15%.
I played 6 holes this afternoon on 3 balls, all pars except for 1-2 bogeys which says a lot about the state my game is in. In one of Rotella’s books he says how you play with the long clubs determines how high you shoot, and how you play with the short clubs determines how low you shoot. I’m hitting a lot of fairways and keeping the ball in play very well, but just not hitting it very close with my irons. You can’t expect to make a lot of birdies by holing 30 footers all day. Luckily around the greens I’ve been really solid, getting it up and down like it’s my job from everywhere. I keyed into a little alignment sloppiness with my short clubs today and that pumped me up. On the range even if I’m not flushing it I’m usually keeping the ball on a steady line, but on the golf course I can’t seem to track the flag. Once I took care of that around hole 4-5 I started hitting it much closer and it’s a nice sign of things to come. I also felt another little practice thing on the range that seems to improve the quality of everything, contact, flight, consistency, distance, etc, so I’ll be thinking about that while I swing an invisible club during Christmas holidays in the Canadian arctic tundra.
It’s important that I make a lot of money in a short period of time so I think I’ll spend most of my time grinding before I go back home for the holidays with some small range sessions mixed in.
