Here's a picture of someone who is in full focus. It just so happens the picture is of my boy Leon. One can see his facial expression in the picture and see that he's really focusing on the ball and is ready to try and make a good swing. Fun!
He's only 8 and making progress in learning about the game. Not to press him, give him space and time to make mistakes, try new things and teach himself a thing or two.
Golf is a difficult game. To play it at all is a challenge and to play well is an achievement that makes one appreciate the times it does happen. Nothing can be more frustrating than golf...take my last round for example...over 90 shots I assume and I am still excited about this silly game...😆😆
A draw or a fade? That's been my question now the past 4 seasons. Last year I didn't really play much golf but the goal has been the same... hit a draw. Getting more distance has been my goal and now I'm going to say that it's been achieved and that it's time to move on. I've learned how to hit it, maybe not as well as I had hoped but moving the ball right to left is now a learned skill that can be utilised from time to time if absolute need be.
But for my standard shot, my bread and butter has always been a fade, as far back as I can remember. I am done playing a draw as my standard shot. Period.
I might hit the draw farther but my control is for shit and my ability to score is quite inconsistent to say the least.
That my good people is the name of the game. Getting the ball in the hole with as few shots as possible. Nothing more - nothing less.
Time to hit the fade again, time to play safe and score the ball again. Time to play boring golf again. Experimental changes are now finished and the main goal is repositioned again front and center.
Back to the range and finding the answers in the dirt. ☺☺👊👊
