Pitch and Putt

I am slowly but surely getting used to the Fusion irons.  I think I am less affected by the slightly smaller head and thinner top line and more by the graphite shafts.   I have to slow my tempo down to ensure the club head stays online.   It’ll be a while before I am complete comfortable but these are keepers!

Played my first round with them Wednesday. It was a mixed bag of shots. I can’t hit the 5 iron to say my life. Put the 5 hybrid back in the bag today and ended up a little worse than normal with a +11 on the front 9. Me and the wife have an 8 AM tee time tomorrow. I’ll keep ‘em but it’ll be a while until I can count on the shot from my new clubs.

Well it turns out that the day I took off of the ankle (Labor Day) was all I needed.  I played a practice round (my terminology for hitting multiple balls from each tee) and shot pretty well.  I have managed to cure my chipping yips after picking up a good tip from the golf channel last night.    The putter was also sorted on the last couple of holes.  I can’t wait to get out there tomorrow to do some additional work.

I tripped on a rock as I walk to a drop zone (yes, I was already injured!) and twisted my ankle. No more golf for today. I need to get a small first aid kit for my bag. The couple that I was playing with had one and I was able to disinfect my scrapes (mainly on the left leg) with a disinfectant napkin. I also need to get a small swiss army knife or small took kit as I almost got stranded on the 6th hole with a push cart that decided to breakdown. I was able to reinsert the screw to enable me to get to the next tee. Lucky for me a groundskeepers happened by and sped off in his cart to get a fillips head screwdriver and tuned me up.
