With only three days to go before the Golf Historical Society Of Canada hosts the 2024 Ontario Open Hickory Golf Championship at Whirlpool Golf Course, I am happy to say that I am prepared. I will hit the links at least once more (likely today) for I make the trek down south and I could not be happier with my preparation to date. And yesterday was my best day so far!
Three things made my practice session the best to date. The first thing I did was sort through my clubs and determine the best distances for each. I have two sets (second set thanks to Lorne Emery to be used to spread the fun of playing hickories, but that is a story for another day) and Lorne suggested I figure out the best set for my game from the two. As it turned out, I only added one club to my set and it was a second 7 iron that reacts differently than my original 7 iron. To determine the distances, I hit between 4 and 6 balls from varying distances (the course was empty when I was playing); I was able to build a 6 iron through wedge with a jigger. So, I now know the distances I hit from 160 yards in with my clubs. Very exciting.
Second, I realize that I mishit the old clubs more when I swing hard at the ball. The old adage, “Let the club do the work” hits the nail on the head! The more I tried to squeeze distance out of each club, the less quality of contact I made on the ball. For instance, I would lose as much as 20 yards on my 160 yard six iron because of poor contact. Therefore, I have to adjust my mental approach and really allow my clubs to do their work. On a positive note, my best shot of the day was a 225 yard shot off the tee with a draw. So, I need to trust the clubs.
Lastly, the need for proper course management could not be higher. I need to stay focused for 18 holes and hit the ball to the distances that fit my clubs. Banging away and finishing in between club distances is not a good idea. Unlike my modern clubs, trying to manufacture a shot generally resulted in a pulled shot. This result is frustrating because I hate missing the green from 60 yards. There is no reason for it because course management will prevent these challenging shots.
I realize that my great results from yesterday can be applied to any set of clubs, but in my case it was more important for my hickories. Knowing my distances, letting the clubs do the work and proper course management seem like a fundamental approach to golf and it is, however it does take a bit of time and I finally put in the effort set the stage for success. I am not sure what will happen come Monday, but I am ready to play!
I am a grateful golfer! See you on the links!
