So, I have a lesson. Been playing a lot of fat shots with huge divots - very ugly!
The pro identifies lifting and dropping during the swing. Cure - keep my chin up and allow my shoulders to turn. Dead easy when you say it quickly! Play a medal and put it into practise. Not too bad - more practise needed.
Following week I play my club singles first round - handicap difference 10, in my favour. I put my lesson into practise. An awesome round (or part round) follows.
My opponent is 2 down after 2. 3rd hole (par 3) sees me against the face in the bunker, opponent on the green. He should get one back here - no problem. Bunkers are not my strong suit. I play out to 2 inches from the hole - my opponent 3 putts. He is visibly shocked.
8 up after 8. He manages to half the 9th. I buy him a pastie - he's looking pale. 10th hole - on in 2, a par for me. Game over, 9 and 8 - a massacre.
I feel a little embarrassed. However, it shows a good lesson can have immediate results.
