Amazing what a little warm up does, even 10 balls to feel your swing. Wife and I play a 9 holer with no range often and man it's hard pulling a 6-3iron (depending on tees) outta the gate. At least you pitched one in, that's always a good feeling.
Played 9 Saturday and struggled to hit an solid iron solid or straight. Fortunately phenomenal putting, better than normal driving and a 2 putt birdie on the par 4 ninth salvaged a 4 over. I wish I could go to the course with everything clicking.....
