It was a tough week having to go back to work. Sleep is at a premium now and having to be away from home for 9 hours and taking over 17,000 steps really took its toll with me. I’m finding that I’m catnapping any chance I can when I’m home on the couch. The lack of sleep and 40 hour work week at this rate will be hard to sustain. I’m hoping to catch up on sleep this weekend.
I am not planning to play a round of golf this weekend, but I was itching to get out there and at least swing a club again.
This could be a wild experience since I haven’t been thinking about golf at all this whole month. I wanted to get to a range and see where my swing was after this forced break. I knew that the swing was going to need some work and I had envisioned that there will be a good chance in the future to get a few 90 minutes sessions to hit a bucket of balls and work on my swing. If I can commit that time to work on my swing I should get my game to the best it ever been.
It was a hot day it was in the low 90s with direct sun on me the whole time with the humidity in the air just made it that extra special kinda spicy hot.
The new wrist hinge movement is gonna need to be re-drilled into my muscle memory, the rest of my swing is at decently playable but if I miss that hinge movement its becomes not a fun game to play, As soon as I get tired that is the first thing to go on the course which leads to balls going push left, and the bummer part is they fly so far that they always travel out of bounds causing a lot of lost ball penalties.
This is exactly what happened in the heat the first 30 balls were actually struck pretty well and very balanced. after the 30 balls, my tempo started to shorten and the balls started hooking and slicing no matter what the club. I’ll save you some reading about the last 60 balls I hit. They were that bad, but this was the first time back and know I know I need to get back home and get back to my drills to help my body swing the club naturally. Lots of work and learning to do. I’m motivated to get after it.
