Update - 2 weeks
Since this was Christmas week, I haven't been able to get to much DVD watching or practice in. Top that off with the rain, constant changing temperature and the 10-20+ mph winds and it has been near impossible to get out to the range or the course. Today I got a chance to go to the range.

Spent most of the time chipping and putting on the practice green. With a flat left wrist it's really hard to duff a chip! Out of about 60 or so attempts, the only duff I had went 2yards not 2inches. Putting was pretty nice too.

The real fun was with the driver. I've been doing a little in-house practice with the bungee cord around my left shoulder, the rifle drill, and the little rope drill (shown by VJ.) Out of about 30 balls, I had only 2 pulls, 1 slice and 3 hooks. I was pulling the heck out of the driver a couple weeks ago. One thing I noticed (felt) is that I was focusing on the shoulder and I started letting the left wrist cup a little. That's a pretty easy fix as long as I can stop coming over the top. As a matter of fact I pushed a couple balls today, that's something I haven't done in a long time. The best part - no killer pulls, no super slices, and no duffs....

We've got a new cold front coming in tomorrow and a high percentage of rain forecasted for the next couple of days. Looks like I'll be practicing a lot of indoor putting and chipping.
