When I’m working on something new, I go to my local executive course to test it out. On four of the holes you would tee off with a wedge, but on the remaining holes you can hit a 2-, 5-, 6-, 8-iron, and a driver. That’s a good enough sample of different swings.

I went out this morning to see how my latest swing change is going.The change (cocking my right wrist back on the backswing) seems to be going well, since I’m not hitting those wicked hooks that just drove me nuts. and my chips and pitches were really good. The greens are slow and bumpy, so I never take too much stock in how I putt there.

My guidance for this particular change is in Nick Faldo’s book, Golf-The Winning Formula, on pages 82-86.
