Practice Round at Greenlefe South...Golf in Florida
Today was a very productive day and a great way to prepare for another tournament on Sunday. It was good to get some freedom in the golf swing, hit shots, and work on a few things. The swing seems to be coming around and confidence keeps going up. Still working on to stay on top of the ball and keep my arms matching my chest. Its a tough thing to do and it was nice to be able to work on it on the golf course vs. the driving range.
The course is tight as far as out of bounds and hazards but a lot less visually intimidating than the other two courses that we have played so far. Fortunately with having the ability to hit the ball a decent ways I am able to carry a lot of the trouble that is out there. I still have to pick when I take the risks but for the most part I feel very good about the lines I saw on the course today and how I am hitting the ball. This is the greatest game in the world and it always a work in progress.
A couple of things that I take note of when playing a practice round are:
-Greens and the lay of the land
-which way the greens tend to break (studying the topography of the course)
-speed of the greens
-lines to take off the tee
-how the greens react to wedges and chip shots
-which way the wind is blowing
-Make a small diagram of the greens so I know where the slopes are and quadrants of the green. This way I know if I go for it or play a safe shot.
Looking forward to some good golf tomorrow and hopefully a win. Have to make those putts.
