The Journey To The USGA Mid-Amateur–Episode 2

Welcome to the end of the first week of the Journey To The USGA Mid-Am! It was a great first week as everything seemed to go pretty well for me. I was able to get in two 9 hole rounds at Echo Falls, shooting under par in both of them. My driver is behaving beautifully at the moment. I didn’t really have a chance to hit much in hybrids on the course this week, but the 3 iron did make an appearance during my Monday round to see how it was flying after my range sessions with it last month. My mid-irons are all working very well, though Echo Falls really doesn’t give them much of a chance to be used. My 7-8-9 irons are all dead on and longer than normal, Another club that has picked up distance is the pitching wedge, which has also performed very well so far this off season.

I’m looking forward to getting more practice time in with the shorter wedges. I am having quite a few shots in the 50-100 yard range left over after the distance increase that the Triton has given me, so I will be doing some rounds with only irons from the white tees to help get into the longer clubs a bit more. I may even do a round or two from the back tees with irons only just to get things moved a bit further back. This is where the real test will start coming as my short irons have been very strong for quite some time now, but the mid-to-long irons have suffered a bit from not being used as much.

I hope you enjoy the recap for the week and I’ll see you again soon.
