I say tried, but it was really about 5 range sessions and a few rounds.
However, when I went back to my original swing, I found that it was much easier to fix, because all the natural swinging had erased a couple of bad habits. Who knew?
Its not like I was fixing a bad slice/hook, or hard pull, but I went from mid 80s to shooting rounds in the high 70s.
My best round was a 76, but it was at Hoots Hollow at Country Creek, and I think everyone who plays there probably shoots a PR. It's a great course, but there just isn't a lot of trouble. Sure, it's has several holes over water, etc. but when I played, there were not a lot of trees, or other obstructions.
Still, you bet your ass I claim that score of 76.

If you want to feel good about yourself go to Painted Hills. It was actually a much improved track last year. But that place is so easy. I can shoot 60s there. Whenever Im in a funk I go play a round there or Sykes/OP.
