Golf pirate - avast!...

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.
