Wow!! Benny is a new man.
The session started by my teaching Benny how to best do a pre-round warm up.
Firstly, he warmed up with his new wedge game system these are shots between 30 and 70 meters, followed by some full wedge shots and then some 7 irons. He finished with a few drivers going thru his pre-shot routine.
Benny had a lapse half way thru the warm up by turning it into a technical swing session. I quickly stopped Benny and reminded him that this is the time to warm up to get the rhythm and tempo for the day and not the time to be working on his swing.
He now needed to warm up the short game by hitting some sand shots followed by some speed putting and finished with some short putts. Once again running thru his routine Benny was now ready to play.
We played the first 6 holes at KDE and Benny was great. He had 6 bogies and managed it easily. His routine was great and I was working hard with him, taking him thru the shot selection process. Making the right decision for the shot at hand, Benny is improving in this area.
Where to from here?
Short pitching, chipping and putting is the focus for our next lesson on Tue 21st.
We need a big improvement in his chipping technique and I have some drills for him to work on. His putting is improving, but he still needs to lift to another level and the 30 meter shot has improved, but I am expecting more out of Benny.
Benny has never experienced this level of control on a golf course before and it is great to see him playing golf as I know he can.
Stay tuned this is getting exiting!
