Well, the season's over, here's the self report:
Handicap - F: I wanted to get sub 20, but could never seem to get the game together at the same time to drop it into the 'teens. While I did shoot an 87 in a tournament (nice 90 bust!) it took me to 20. I couldn't follow up with anything substantial.
Driving - C: Nothing spectacular here. I end up left now instead of right (lots of pulls), but serious left to right movement has disappeared. Tee club selection is much improved.
Irons - B: Please keep in mind I'm a 23 capper. I've hit my irons much, much better than I ever have. But I still have a long way to go.
Chipping/Pitching - D-: I've got no short game. At all. I think I've narrowed it down to not finishing the swing (every chip/pitch is a stab/decel), but we'll see.
Putting - F: Feel? What's that? My putting has gotten worse this year instead of better.
All around improvement - C-: I'm coming to the conclusion that I now need tons of work on my fundamentals, and my mental game. The highlight was winning my flight at Club Champ again this year (where I shot a 96 on the first day and then backed it up with an 87].
I've got a long way to go - I'm working on a full turn under my chin and finishing my swing with passive arms as I've seen some great strikes with that swing. Although I'm also on a quest to lose weight (and gut), so I'm sure that will mess with my swing, too. The less gut I have to manouver around, the more orthodox my swing will become, I figure.
