Dammit------------I'm hurt again...I heard a "pop" in my rib area and this one REALLY hurts. No golf for me for awhile. Golf can be as frustrating as can be, but not playing is more so.

I was hitting the ball fairly well before the pain, although I still have a tendency to hit a bit fat. This "new" swing is starting to feel more natural, and my ball flight is looking good with a lot more height to my shots. If I was in the Texas wind that might be a problem, but around here it will work just fine. It will be fun later on to adjust that as well, but after today, I'll be on the sidelines for awhile.

Bahh...It stinks that I can't put 2 good days together but I halfway expected it. Hitting the golf ball well sure as hell can be fleeting!

I was trying too hard to remember all the stuff we worked on yesterday and was having a tough time, as most all swings were hitting fat. I'm sure the pro could have fixed that in 5 minutes, but alas, it's also up to me to figure some of this shit out for myself. Tomorrow is a new day!

Well now, THAT was a lesson!!

What fun hitting a golf ball can be when you do it correctly. We worked on several things, and after a somewhat rocky start, I found some rhythm and started crushing the ball. A few of the things we worked on were...

---remember left hand position

---split grip practice swings

---NO stiff arms!!

---loose and loopy (mental image for me)

---move the hands early

---punch shots

---left arm IN

When we were done, that damn 5 iron was going about 175 with very little effort and had a sweet little draw at the end-just awesome. I was even hiting one of my woods halfway decent! I know tomorrow won't be this good, but I still can't wait!

I'm ready for a lesson...I am getting decent contact most the time ( too many fat shots), but I'm feeling somewhat stagnant and not consistent enough for my liking. I also am 100% hopeless with any club longer than a 5 iron, so I need some help!
