Got permission to play again this afternoon.

Playing with a coworker that consistently shoots 72-76 on this course, and it's always a mental challenge for me. Even though i'm competing against myself, it's hard not to want to match what he's doing on his approach shots. 140 and in he is hitting the green 8/10 times, and that's the weakest part of my game right now. I hit it farther than him off the tee, but he doesn't hit any atrocious shots. Looking forward to it though, should be a good test coming off my "good" round yesterday.

Backswing not coming too far inside helped me the most when I first started.

Almost all beginners snatch the club too far inside and your arms have no room to work, need to get the feeling of keeping the club in front of your chest.

You can practice this at the house, grab a club and almost feel like the club is coming outside on the takeaway.

This was huge for me when I first started.

My discomfort range is 20 yards off the green. Blading the ball or duffing are what happens 3 or 4 times a round.

140 to 40 yards out are pretty consistent for my game.

Where are you located? Louisiana somewhere?
