After a couple of visits to the range this week, I had all the answers. I went to the course Friday and after a first hole par, everything was going according to plan. Then things went horribly wrong. I was twelve over after the next four holes. Two shanks out of bounds, a couple of chunky monkeys and all sorts of bad contact problems. I was shocked! How could this be.
Obviously, I was not executing what I had found at the range. That full shoulder turn I discovered and used there turned into some totally off plane out of sync downswing. So I just reverted to my old routine, practiced three or four controlled on plane swings as preparation for each shot, concentrated only on being on plane and not overswinging and I parred the last four holes of the front nine. I went on to shoot a very respectful 41 on the back. Another false hope dashed at the course. But maybe I at least found out something I was doing right all along.
