What happened to Day 11 you may ask? Well the snow meant nothing happened. No golf to be played and I didn't fancy walking for 30 minutes to the gym so there was nothing to update you with. Let's hope there are as few days like that as possible!
I had the idea last night that I'd get the spade and rake out and clear the area of snow around my practice net. Here's a picture of the scene before
and here is the scene after the hard work
this allowed me to have 20 mins of hitting balls and working on getting the top of my back swing in the correct place. It was so good to hit some golf balls again - but 20 mins was all I could take because it was so cold.
I also did the long walk to the gym today. The roads are too slippy to drive and it would take about an hour to dig our car out of the snow. I did 22 mins on the bike this time (slightly increased!) and 20 mins running followed by some more lunges and stretching. I'm planning to go again tomorrow to start doing some light free weights to strengthen my arms.
I'm currently reading Steve Williams golf book 'Golf at the Top'. It doesn't seem to be a very well known book, but I'm two thirds of the way through and I think it's excellent. Will post a full review of it on Monday.
