Some serious good driving range advice her. Thanks 3Jack. I'll try some of that on my next session.

Today I had another go, and today it was even harder to turn the ball the other way in a controlled manner. I took an hour on the putting green too, and I couldn't hole a thing outside 8 feet. I was fighting a hook "flip" on the green.

In hindsight I think I was hitting balls from a flawed address posture in both places. Hank Haney says that hitting different shapes on the range will reveal your swing issues. I think I'm beginning to understand what he means.

On our Saturday game I could only hit fades during the warm up on the range. So on the 1.st tee I aimed left. Of course I hit my usual draw and found the rough....

Most people struggle to take their stroke from the range to the course, but I struggle to take my stroke from the course to the range. I guess that's the second best alternative. But if I hit the three balls first balls on the range with a rock solid impact during warm-up I know I am in for a day of good ball striking.
