Finishing Strong

Today was interesting.  I played very well today but felt my swing was getting shaky in the last holes.  I was not tired, however I was not striking the ball as sharp as I had in the beginning of the round.  To fix this problem I decided to focus on the fundamental of having the club head follow through to the target.  I tried not to shape the ball or muscle it down the fairway.

I realize this sounds like a simple thing, however as the round nears the finish, many golfers tend to struggle with the fundamentals for many reasons.  Well to my surprise I finished the last four holes – birdie, par, par, par.  I am elated with the result and surprised about how little effort I actually expended.

I will have to try remember this tip for 18 holes next time!  Today was a fantastic day and I am truly grateful.
