Snow and thoughts for Spring practice
Well its offical. Winter is here in NYC.
Well..not "offically" but we got our first snow on the weekend and the next little while seems to only point to more.
So no more golf for now.
Ive been working on my putting at home when I get a chance and trying to watch some good instructional DVDs that I bought in the fall. The Tom Kite one Dave Stockton put out is fanatastic for shots from within 50 yards and Tom also has some great approaches to ball striking and the long game as well.
He really stresses balance and getting the weight onto the left foot as you move throught the ball. He also advocates a wide stance.
These points mirror the work I was doing on the range. They are thoughts (that when combined with my "good full turn" backswing thought) that helped me gain some nice distance, feel and ball height.
Im going to start hitting the practice facility on Staten Island once the weather breaks in the Spring. They have a full chipping and Sand Practice area. Hopefully I can hit some 20 yard wedges into it as well. But even being able to get some work in on my chipping will do wonders I feel.
Im also going to hit the par 3 course in Queens in the spring too.
All of the holes seem to be about 50 to 100 yards and this is perfect for working on my various wedges shots. I had a lot of sucess getting my wedge play together later in season, but it still needs work. Playing a few rounds there will definately help me..plus its a lighted course so I can go after work and play a few rounds in one session.
Ok more soon!
