Ben Hogan golf practice

I have to admit, I had real fun yesterday just hitting balls and getting a feel for my swing (again). It’s funny how elusive that feel can be sometimes. It’s as if my swing has the ability to go into hibernation. This quote helped inspire me:

“I couldn’t wait to get up in the morning so I could hit balls. I’d be at the practice tee at the crack of dawn, hit balls for a few hours, then take a break and get right back to it. And I still thoroughly enjoy it. When I’m hitting the ball where I want, hard and crisply, it’s a joy that very few people experience.”
— Ben Hogan, 1987

Ah, the allure of the groove! When I was getting my feel back yesterday (after a rocky start to the practice session), I spontaneously shouted at myself at one point, “Now groove it!” May we all be blessed with a groove of ease.
