Range Practice - Downswing

Written by E. Chase Bleyl on 28 June 2020.

First practice in almost a month! Gosh I can’t go like this, especially since I need to break 90 by the end of August! We were traveling and visiting family and I simply didn’t find the time to get away and hit balls.

Was able to go to the range and things seem to be better than I was expecting. I decided to focus on my downswing and worked on clubs driver through 4 iron. My wedges through 8 iron were pretty good, 6 iron through driver were a little bad. I just had a lot less control. If I played tomorrow I would be aiming considerably left of target for all my low irons.

I still need some work on my short game and my driver. I think I could hack my way around the course,but those two things seem to really be killing my last couple rounds. I don’t have a good spot to practice my short game currently; I might need to buy a turf mat to hit off instead.

We start some more travel in late July. Hopefully I can play at least a couple times between now and then, with plenty other practice sessions in between.
