It’s the Paul Lawrie Tartan Pro Tour event over the New and Jubilee Courses at St Andrews this week so I was working on my alignment and swing this weekend. I figure if I aim in the right direction there’s more chance of the ball going in the right direction. Sounds simple I know but if your like me, and get a bit “alignment lazy”, it can creep off.
I’ve also been working hard on my organisation while playing, with the help and guidance of Peter Whiteford. Trying to get into the habit of preparing for the shot a lot earlier while still walking towards the ball. It all makes sense and I am convinced it will shave a shot or two off my scores – but, as with everything, it is hard to change. I’ll get there though.
I also had a session with Sandy Smith to help improve my ball striking. His guidance helped me produce a better and more consistent ball strike. It will take some work but again I’m convinced it will help me improve.
So I’m now looking forward to St Andrews as I wait for the draw to confirm that I have a starting place tomorrow (Tuesday).
