Another BREAKTHROUGH ROUND!! This time the feat comes in the form of pure distance. I had three monster drives that reached over 300 yards! Yes, I know—Unbelievable. This year I can honestly say that my farthest drives have only reached the 270 yd. mark. For some reason, today, I pured these tee balls and they just exploded dead straight, with no spin and a lot of roll. Other contributing factors include the hot weather (ball travels farther) and my recent lower body work-outs. The more I've been learning about the swing, I realize that my power is generated from the lower core (hips, upper thighs).
My score doesn't reflect my performance. I was on pace to shoot in the low 80s but an inevitable "8" and OB penalties crept onto the scorecard. I've been hitting a ton of fairways these last few rounds but I'm not capitalizing with the approach shots (poor GIR stats). I need to dial-in on the full wedge shots. Also, it's been super hot out for most of August, the ball is traveling farther and I think my overall swing speed has increased, resulting in mis-judged club selection. My 7-iron use to go 150 yds., but now I'm getting it out there at 165 yds. We'll see if these yardages maintain into the fall season.
