I had a spare couple of hours so I took the opportunity to visit the golf course for some putting and short game practice.
I had a spare couple of hours so I took the opportunity to visit the golf course for some putting and short game practice.
I started with an hour on the putting green. This was a large area and allowed some long range putts and also short range practice (5 to 10 ft)
One thing I noticed was the more relaxed my grip the better the strike. I remember reading a quote from Seve Ballesteros about the same thing. He said he had a very light grip on his putter.
This was a positive session and I was very pleased.
After the putting I moved to the short game area. Unfortunately it was getting dark and I found it difficult to judge distance. However I was happy with the progress in ball striking.
I am categorising short game as anything under 100 yards.
