I feel like I’m starting to narrow in on peak performance after playing 9 holes last night. While I shot 3-over and had some driver issues – no surprise there – I realized that it was a 3-over that could have been 3-under with better concentration. Right off the top of my head I can think of 3 strokes that could have been saved.
Anyway, it’s a good sign. I have roughly 3 days to get ready for the TPC Sawgrass tournament, and I’m feeling good about my game.
After last night I decided to change up my practice plan a bit. Instead of banging around balls at the range, putting green, and short game area, I’m going to try to either work on the practice course or play a round today, play my round at Sawgrass tomorrow, then keep it light Friday. Yesterday’s 9 holes really helped me from a mental standpoint in terms of my course management and pre-shot routine, and I realized I need to get a little more comfortable being on the course with the latest changes to my swing and swing thoughts. So, “play, play, play” will be the game plan heading into the weekend.
