Have been busy lately to update my blog. In the meantime, I played a few more back 9s - some at Shoreline and another one at Summitpointe. One thing I realized was that I was slicing the ball. I checked out golf.com and found some nice videos. Another person playing at shoreline gave a nice tip to fix the swing plane. I spent some time practicing the changes to my swing and voila, my slice was cured. Of course, I have different issues now. But, it was heartening to have 2 pars and single bogeys for most of the back 9.
Last game at Summitpointe was heartening and dissatisfying at the same time. While my slice was fixed, driver shots got up or down and lacking distance. I did hit a couple of shots that got me close to doing a birdie and then my pitching fell apart. But, Summitpointe has a very narrow fairway and lot of hazards. One of the problem was judging the distance since this is also very up and down course so I was still happy I lost only one ball to a water hazard.
Next steps, focus on pitching and making contact with the driver. Thanksgiving is coming and I plan to do a whole 18 holes with my friends.
