However the biggest problem is my short game. I had a lesson last week and thought I had it sorted. I was suppose to have a practice session to bed it in on Wednesday but the lure of eighteen holes was too strong. Came to play today and it was as bad as ever. I even went out to practice it this afternoon to the calls of "pro" from some of the resident club comics who had already seen me come in from my earlier exploits and was now back out working on a miracle cure. It is still a problem. The issue seems to be in the address where my left shoulder is much higher than my right which causes everything to work back away from the ball and the line of the shot. My teaching pro got me standing on a downhill lie to feel the difference (getting me to lean into the slope) but like a fool I'm finding it hard to replicate once back on a flatter surface.
Chipping is such an easy facet and is something I use to be good at and relish practicing. How can I have got so out of shape and ingrained so many bad habits. I'm in danger of losing it like this guy. Still it's the medal tomorrow and the redeeming fact is that if I do have an off day at least I get a shot back

Total number of lost balls in 2010 = 7
