Rebuilding

This weekend I had another poor round. I made the mistake again of trying something new and while I started very hot (first hole hit it to 4 feet, second hole to 3 feet) by the end of the round I was not hitting the driver very well. To compound the problem I putted horribly. I 3-putted the 1st green after hitting the ball to 4 feet, and also 3 putted the 9th and 17th holes.

I decided that I need to re-start. I need to nail down the things that my coach told me to work on, and in addition build the swing with good fundamentals. So I have been working on hitting the ball with only 3/4 swings. The purpose of the 3/4 swing is to get myself in the proper positions and once I get comfortable hitting the ball with 3/4 swings, I can add speed to get the distance back.

Here are some swings from my last practice session where I am working on 3/4 swings. This is going to be a long process, but I think the results will be very good.
