So, November has come rushing past us and we find ourselves nearly into December !!
The cold weather may mean that courses are starting to close or temp greens and winter tees etc, but that doesn't mean that training stops.
I have been spending a lot of time at the range over the past couple of weeks, mainly working on 7 iron thru to lob wedge and just concentrating on the quality of strike and consistency of swing and timing. It's this time of year that the ranges start to get busy and I guarantee that if you look at the players at the range with you, about 80% will hit their driver and 3 wood more than any other club in the bag. These will be the same people making double after double when they get back on the course next season. How they smile when hitting drive after drive, not caring about swing or timing, as long as the ball goes flying down the range towards the 200yrd wide end fence. When if you watch them closely, they hit one left, two right, sky 3 then say, " I love the driver, I always hit it miles !! ". These are the guys to play for a fiver ;-)
Anyways, my training is going very nicely and now that I have the awesome titleist 712 ap1 irons in the bag, my ball striking, flight and consistency is much better.
I have played a few rounds this month, the derby course of the belfry was in amazing condition and was a pleasure to play. Heythrop park was also top top quality and certainly worth looking at.
I was also fortunate to be invited to pyrford golf club by a fellow disabled golfer ( Martin jelley ) for a game with him and mark helm. Again, another gem of a course with water in play on 17 of 18 holes !!
I have also had a couple of rounds at my home club of Bicester golf hotel and spa just to keep the game in check and also to test out the new monk mobile !!
So I shall keep training hard so that I am ready to defend my titles in 2014.
Till next time bloggers
Monk out.
