Heritage, A shot makers dream

04/21/2008 07:05:59 / like playing 36 holes

   If anyone watched the Heritage this weekend, I am sure you noticed something different about this course than 90% of the others played on the PGA Tour as I did. You have to hit all kinds of shots from low to high and left to right as well as right to left. I don't think I had seen this many creative shots having to be played on a course in a single round on any other tour event. This was definently a playing lesson to take to the driving range. NExt time you go to the range and are warmed up and loose, start to imagine weeping willows infront of you. Create some shots, like hitting it low no more than 12-15 feet off the ground. Also try to shape them in different directions(on purpose of course) . The Punch shots that were shaped even off the tee by Boo Weekly this weekend were very simple that I know anyone can do. I am sure after doing this at the range a few times you will find that your scores will drop and hitting a regular flight ball will come easier. 

     And by the way after watching Saturdays round I played my sons PS2 Tiger Woods 05 game at Hilton Head and shot a 57 from the black tees, med fairways, and hard pin postions with fast greens. If I only can do that in real life.

 Greatvisualization sequence, Ron. I just read Rotella's bit on shot visualization in " Mind of the golfer ". More visualizing and less thinking for me. I like the driving range idea. Weeping willows, weeping willows, under 'em, over 'em, around 'em. I'll try it, as I have to golf in the Midwest this summer.
