Hi Jim, Thanks for the welcome! I'm working on a lot! Swing: Slowing down my tempo to get more consistency across the board. Using Atthaya Thitikul as a swing inspo. My last two rounds have included a lot of fat shots, thanks to the mud and ice combo. Which is a shame because the 4 rounds before that I really thought I had turned a corner. Back to the lessons i go! My regular drill is the driver cover under the arm to help fix my lazy/tired slice. Otherwise I am focussing on course management and short game whilst religiously reading Bob Rotella books I find practicing on mats seems to bring me further away from the 'real' thing.. Although the course changes so often I find it hard to adapt but I'm slowly getting better at it. Not to mention the work I am doing on my mental game too. MOVIE.mp4

A few photos from my local course over the last few weeks... Cold, muddy but pretty lucky with weather otherwise.
