Played in Coronado last Sunday. Got a similiar score than Torrey Pines. But this time both the woods and the putters have saved me from horrible irons, especially short irons.
On the driving range after, I start to wonder why this would happen: first of all the shorter clubs (irons) should be easier to hit straight than woods; second, have two very different swing thoughts really doubles the amount of work – it is destined that on any given day either set of swings would be off.
So I stared down at my 5i and pretend it is a shorter version of 5w, and the funny thing is that I immediately hit 2 very pure, very straight shots with it – and they are quite long as well.
So I guess the pro is right, I should simplify things and keep one unified swing thoughts throughout the bag. I’m going to give that a try for the next a few practice sessions.
