STEADY HEADY / SWING PLAN ROUND: First round playing with new stroke - deliberate movement of left knew down to the ball creating a steeper shoulder and swing plan that really helps keep the head steady. Coupled with deliberate move with legs first to create the dynamic tension in the rotation and thinking about movement / acceleration of the chest, swinging through the ball rather than hitting it with your arms. Wasn't too effective today, but it is a much better swing giving better distance and I believe more consistency in the swing with a steady head / vision, easier rotation and able to relax the arms and still get power.

No driving or putting warm up didn't help today. I had 6 penalty shots, 4 with the driver, 2 with 3H (one of which was a bad decision to go for the green on 18 in 2 from 188. Putting improved during round, but had 40 putts for the round and 8 holes with three putts OR MORE was quite bad.
