Yesterday was my first day out on the driving range. I always seem to lose a little distance to start the year. I think my swing gets largely out of sequence where I lose the hip rotation/snap in the off-season. It's not something that developed when I first started playing golf so I have to be more conscientious about it. Still I hit pretty well with my 3Wood landing beyond 200 yards and minimal hooking. I'm going to take a look at slowing my backswing this season as well. I'm hoping it leads to more control
League play starts in a week and a half so I'll be making a few more trips to the range and try to get at least 18 holes of golf in before it starts. Here's the GHIN handicap card to start the season, lets see if I can make that 25.9 drop substantially this year.
