Re: Hopeless with irons
I have found it a big mistake to just arrive at the course and go right to the first tee. If you are warming up on the first few holes your obviously losing strokes. It always seemed to take me 3-4-6 holes to feel loose and confident. So I started arriving early and practicing for 45 minutes or so. A bit of chipping and putting then a wedge or two, a long iron, a hybrid and a driver on the range. Warmed up, loose, confident= ready to tee off.

Mmmm. Played the other day, with a mate of mine. He doesn't believe in practise, and always wants to "get on with it". So it was straight into a round. I didn't play well
So I decided whilst he had a celebratory drink (he beat me by one shot, I usually beat him!) I went to practise. And low and behold, I tried the drill you guys suggested and it worked (well most of the time). Even got within 2 inches of sinking one from about 100 meters!!!! Only trouble was I kept loosing coins!

I kept smacking my pitching iron far to far for the first couple of holes, even with a shorter swing and chocking down on the club. I'll need to practice that now
