Sony Open - Monday Practice

Because of a Monday pro-am starting at 11am, we left for the golf course at 7am. Kevin spent a little extra time warming up on the range. He was still trying to find his timing/feel and did not want to take it to the course until it felt better. We played nine holes around 9am with Kevin Chappell and Gary Woodland. Kevin's ball striking improved as we went along and we spent most of our time chipping and bunker shots around the greens. After the round, we went to the range and Kevin continued to work on his swing. He mentioned to me that he is finally getting the feel back from the things he has worked on with his coach. When Kevin swings correctly, his ball flight flattens out (comes down) and the ball drives through the wind. We started to see that ball flight and he finished the session feeling much better about things. After a little lunch, Kevin came back out and we hit some putts, chips and bunker shots. Our practice day finished around 2pm when the rain moved in for the rest of the day.
