The Range Pays Off!

What's up fellow golfers? I think this post is long overdue.

Well, I finally played a round. After what seems like a lifetime of range sessions, I finally did it. And let me tell you, the range works. Although my scorecard doesn't indicate it, my iron game was right on the money. I still hit a few errant shots. I think that was mostly due to a lack of focus and concentration. I mean I was hitting greens from beyond 150. The longest green I hit was about 175 with a 6 iron.

Now don't get me wrong, I am by no means a great golfer. I realized I was spending too much time at the range and not enough time at the putting green. I left four par putts and two birdie putts out at the course. That really kills me. I shot a 99 on a par 71 course. Those putts would have really lowered my score. I could've broken the 90 mark. Never done that. But I think I'm on my way.  I'll hit the putting green for a while and see what happens the next time out.

I'll keep you posted.

Im the same way i need alot of range time to be consistent on the golf course... dont get wrapped up on the range too much, there is a hugh difference between hitting balls on the range and the golf course.... Hit em well....
