It's All in the Little Things

Played a little golf with my buddy Nick yesterday. I hadn't played a real round of golf in awhile, so it was good to get back out there. I didn't play great, but I hit some good shots. When I realized how badly I was guiding the ball, I really put some good swings on it (too bad that was on 18).



I think that was a big part of my poor play down the stretch this year. I was thinking of so many things, just not about putting an aggressive swing on the ball. It's a funny situation that comes up. I didn't feel like I was swinging defensively, but I was. Sometimes it takes a little time away from things to realize exactly what the problem is.



Yesterday I really started to feel like I had no clubhead speed. Couldn't figure it out 'til 18. Then I thought back on the last couple months and it fit in exactly. I don't know if this will be a game changing realization or not. I surely knew how important an aggressive swing is then, too. I just need to play golf. That's it. I'm good enough to compete, I just have to stop trying to force perfect shots.

A little break can be a good thing. It seems like golfers of every ability try to steer shots at times, whether consciously or unconsciously.
