playing lesson

played 5 holes today with pro who is 1 hcp
keys for lesson
1)tweaked alignment a little- i will now aim at right side and draw the ball in rather than aiming at left side to allow for the fade/slice
1a)set club slightly closed and turn right hand over
2)need to take more aggressive lines than i have been taking/trust swing
3)finish swing-club on neck
4)sand-ball position forward-in line with left big toe! set up with hands behind ball
5)finish shots, esp putts and chips. commit!!!!
