Sunday Morning Golf January 17, 2010

I will be making another trip to the golf driving range this Sunday morning.  It’s my favorite time to hit the links. 

My plan is always this:  wake up, make coffee, (make sure not to wake anyone), and then sneak out to hit the driving range for 3 hours.  Then, sometimes, I will play a full 18 with the boys…if the wife preapproves that.  It takes quite a bit of time to play a round of golf and thus requires pre-approval.

Last night, I had a look at some golf swing tips that I will be working on the golf range today.  The reason that I need golf tips is that my swing plane is a little off.  I need to figure out how to get back on center so that I stop slicing the golf ball in many weird directions.  When you cannot hit the ball straight, it makes for a hell of a time on the course.  Golf is an odd game and one in which My Golf Senses sometimes betray me because golf in couterintuitive.

Example:  Swing easier and the ball goes further?  Hit down on the ball to make it go higher.

Very strange.  This is why I need to practice and why I am hitting the range this Sunday morning!!!
