Stratton Golf - Day Three
I am over a week behind in my review of the Stratton Golf School. Here is the last part:
Day Three. We get to work on our new swings on the golf course. I wake up and don't hear the rain hitting our roof. Finally, a day with good weather! And then I look out the window and see that is snowing!! The moutain tops are all white and the ski runs look ready for action. I drink my coffee, swallow some advil, and drive to the golf course.
Not only is it snowing but it is very, very windy. Jeff shows up and we drive to the seventh green to practice our short game. Jeff has about 100 balls with him and we each hit about 35 chip shots from 30 yards out, practicing the fundamentals and trying to get a "feel" for the shot. Hard to do since it is very cold out and snowing.....We walk up to the green and practice putting the balls we hit up there a moment ago. Then, it's off to next tee and we proceed to play golf with Jeff for the next three hours or so. Jeff makes a point of trying to get us to remember our new swings with mixed success. Still, even with the snow and wind, it is a lot of fun to be on the course, soaked as it is, rather than on the driving ranges and other school stations.
As lunch approaches, we ask Jeff if we can stay at the course after lunch rather than return to the school for more stations. He is agreeable and we do that, playing 11 holes in the afternoon. Jeff plays with us this time, demonstrating the fundamentals. The weather warms up considerably and it was a very nice afternoon.
I have a work conference call starting at 4:30 PM so I drive home and take the call there. Jacqui and I have a nice dinner and we are ready to go home.
