Beautiful day for practicing with the temp right at 60 degrees the whole time.

My back could not take practice like that. I hit about 60 balls today and was starting to wear down.
Last year, I took some lessons from a guy who told me to focus on shortening my swing and turning my chest away from the target. It's good advice, but it always felt artificial, like I was moving from A-B-C in the swing.
I made a decision to just focus on the things I do well and not worry about bad outcomes, because the fear of a bad shot needlessly tightens me up. I just tried to take the club back simultaneously as high and deep at possible and get on to my left side for the strike. I hit the ball much, much better.
