The snow is melting hurrah! There is still a lot to get rid of, and it did take an hour to dig my car out of the snow - but it is a start! The range at Sandford Springs is open so I headed over there just after lunch and hit around 80 balls. There is still a load of snow covering the golf course which won't be gone by the weekend so it looks like I will have to hope the range machine has enough golf balls to keep dispensing them.
I was working on a few things today from the Steve Williams book
1, Swinging within myself - keeping swing to 70% power
2, Focusing on impact spot of the ball while swinging
3, Spend time visualising the shot before stepping up to hit it.
Overall I was striking the ball very well considering it has been quite a few days since I last was able to practice. All the slow deliberate practice swings indoors seem to have done some good - so the snow hasn't been all bad news!
Heading back over to Sandford again tomorrow. Will see if I can get my swing recorded so I can post it here. Will be good to do a video at the start of 2010, and then one at the end to see how things have changed.
