BREAKTHROUGH DAY with my irons. Hit a ton of greens off the tee, and ball striking was better than ever. I felt that I comfortably reached optimal distance with my irons and can now judge distance better with my clubs. (i.e. last month, 5 iron: 145. now, 160) I can feel the difference at impact. Putting was a bit rough. I had multiple birdie opportunities, but misjudged every putt. I don’t think I’ve had a solid putting round at Rockland, in the 10+ times I’ve played there. I think I might have been gripping the putter too hard. I think if I have a light grip, I’ll be able to feel the putt better. I plan on playing another round at Rockland, this Sunday.
Notables
Solid ball striking with my irons, off the tee. Solid club choices in gauging distance.
Practice
Lighter grip on putter for more feel and fluidity in stroke.
On this day: Martin Kaymer wins the PGA Championship, 2010.
