So, winter has definitely been here the past couple of weeks and if the forecast is anything to go by it will be here for a while yet. This has given me the chance to hit the range as we work on my long game to improve ball striking and consistency. The range gives the me the opportunity to experiment and it’s great to be able to try different things with the guidance of my coach Pete Whiteford. We’re making great progress – I hit some balls last week where the strike was purer than I have ever felt before. It’s great to be learning and to still be amazed! I wake up excited to go and hit balls and see what I can do that day.
The part I’ve been missing lately is the on-course play. I need to get much better at preparation, decision making and shot selection on the course. I played St Andrews when the ground was solid last week – a good lesson in picking my landing zones! Joking apart, it still gives me the chance to “think better” on the golf course.
So this week more range work, a game on Thursday with the St Andrews boys, fitness work, hopefully some short game work if the ground stays soft and some centrally heated putting practice at home!
I’ll let you know how it goes.
Cheers
Calum
