PROGRESS! You may know of my problem with a certain type of shot where, during the swing, the ball makes inadvertent contact with my old friend El Hozel.
I decided to take a different approach than what I've been doing.
1. I went outside, no more simulator. Yes the ground is still frozen. Yes the ground that isn't frozen is saturated with water. Yes it's cold outside.
2. I have been limiting myself to 60 yard shots with a pitching wedge. Short back swing, short follow through. Still the meetings with the ProV1 and El Hozel were too frequent.
3. Finally, I've focused on keeping my head still AND behind the ball. No more forbidden meetings of ball and hosel, at least today.
4. I've been limiting myself to very few shots at any given time. Today it was only 25, 60-yard shots. With this success I decided to quit before I reverted to bad habits.
BAD NEWS
After only 25 shots and picking up the balls my back hurts. I've made progress in this regard but I still have a ways to go before Scotland. I'll continue to be vigilant in my exercise routines!
