I have been taking golf lessons since the end of November 2010 on a weekly basis. While I missed February due to the India trip, it was good to get back to swinging the clubs. My intent is to blog about golf this year. I think it will be a good way to keep track of my practice, my rounds, and serve as a reminder of what I need to focus my practice efforts on.
During my golf lesson this week my coach Nick Starchuk told me that he spent a couple of hours hitting balls outside at Oakville Family Golf on Thursday and suggested that if the weather is good next week that perhaps we can move outside.
While hitting balls in the golf domes and simulators is certainly great for practicing, they really do not compare to hitting balls at an outdoor range. There is something to be said for having the sun shining on your face while you watch your ball flight.
I am optimistic that this is going to be a very good golf season. I am feeling comfortable with the new swing that Nick and I having been working on. While it is far from perfect, and I have to keep working on my downswing shoulder turn, I know that I will be more consistent and will be hitting shorter irons into the greens.
The forecast for tomorrow is sunny and 7 degrees so I plan on moving my mat and net from the garage to the backyard. While outside I can take advantage of using the Casio camera's slow motion mode....and work hard to keep the shoulders moving and eliminate the early wrist chop.
