Simple Stuff
Danny,

At least 60% of my field were discussing WD after the second day.

Very few were playing to their own expectations and the bulk of the issues I saw were over-acceleration resulting in throw away and I was guilty as well. Each day I was teamed with guys who customarily get through the ball very well. Strong compressors.

What I witnessed was just the opposite on the tourney days. Many WD's on the third day.

Lesson #1 - I realized late in the first round I was over-accelerating so I shortened my backswing. The instant I did that I hit a mid-trajectory laser 3 iron 223 to a back pin. Stuck it pin high to 4 feet. Into the wind. Birdie. I was shocked by the length.

Lesson #2 - I realized after the second round I was ignoring my aiming point and instantly the Driver came back.

Simple stuff - But I agree with those familiar with Tournament play, you just have to get out there and do it. Hang in there for the duration or you'll miss some good learning opportunities.
