I've been working in my backyard on a more technically-correct swing, using those white plastic practice balls. I've spent about 30 minutes a day hinging my wrists, keeping my left arm straight and my head down, etc., and it's made a difference.

I shot a 91 today, which is about as low as I've ever scored. I flirted with par all day long and was able to get out of trouble when I needed to.

I decided today that I was not going to play tense or timid, and I focused on solid technique.

My new swing does have its problems. I'm not sure how far my clubs go anymore. I hit a PW 150 yards today, but I think I was swinging too hard.
