Shorten that backswing!
I teed off today in 38 degree weather. After scrambling through 10 mostly poor holes, I finally decided to stop messing around and shorten my backswing. When I’m not paying attention, I take my club back just a little too far, bend awkwardly, and ruin any chance I have of keeping the ball straight.
By hole 11 the temperature had reached 60. With my shorter backswing and perfect golf weather, I finished the last 8 holes only 3 over. I even managed to card a birdie. Maybe if I were still playing weekly, I would remember to shorten my backswing from the start.
