New Putter PGA Qualifier
MacGregor sent me two new versions of their Bobby Grace M1 putter today. One is a solid head and the other has a very soft insert. My existing M1 has a beryllium insert. The soft insert feels great. I will probably put it in play for the Monday qualifier in two days.
I’ve continued to work on my pre-shot and visualization. Practice sessions are now involving less shots, but I feel like I’m getting more out of them. My “full-bore”, long-game practice session is now about 1 hour 15 minutes and involves hitting 75-80 shots…all with perfect pre-shot routine. I’m also working on a slight technical change in my backswing. I was just getting too closed on the backswing. Three days of work on this and it’s feeling pretty good. Everything feels solid going into Monday’s qualifier in Long Island. It’s the qualifier for the PGA Barclay’s Classic at Westchester CC.
I’ve done some preliminary work on my schedule changes. As I mentioned in my last update, I’m going to shift my qualifier focus from Nationwide to PGA Tour events. I’m also looking at putting a few Tar Heel Tour events on the schedule. I haven’t finalized everything yet, so the schedule page is still the same. I should have it all finished and posted in the next week or so.
