Yesterday I went and played Wigwam in the afternoon when the course would be empty.  As expected, it was.  I only time I ran into a group ahead of me was my approach shot on 18.

I wanted to use the time to apply the techniques Ronnie gave me.  I still am a little too wristy which leads to my hook, but I’ve gotten it more under control.  I hit a lot of good shots, even with clubs that used to give me nightmares.  The first hole is a par 5, so I hit my drive along the right side, and had about 210 left to the green.  That’s a little bit short for my 5 wood, and I haven’t hit a 3-iron in forever since I always screw it up.  But I decided on giving the 3 iron a shot, and it was a good decision.  I hit a nice shot with just a fraction of a draw, and it landed in front of the green and rolled off the back.  I’ve been using some crappy Top-Flite balls lately while I work out my swing – I don’t want to lose any nice balls.  They do a lot farther and don’t hold worth a damn on the greens.  So maybe if I was playing my normal ball, the shot would have held.  I hit several long irons and had good results with them.  Maybe I don’t need to buy that hybrid after all.

In the end, I finished with a 7-over 77, 38-39.
