マスターズの最終日が行われてる日曜日です
Salem Glen CCへ
ここ３回目かな？ 良いコースです
朝まで降ってた冷たい雨がやんで快晴！
でも、気温低くてうすら寒いし風きつい
フェアウエイは見た目きれいですが、実はズブズブでした
水はけ悪いみたいですね
ゴンドワナ大陸の赤土のせいではないかと思う
（注：ゴンドワナ大陸、約3～4億年前に存在した大陸で、アメリカの南部はここに属する、アフリカなんかと同じ 僕の個人的見解）
10時半の予約しか取れず、逆にのんびりしすぎてギリギリ到着
金払って、すぐスタート！
パターすらせず、いきなりはラウンドはダメですね
１番ホール 大ダフリと、ドシャンクでダボ
ショットは濡れたライでのダフリを意識しすぎてトップ気味、ドライバーは風を気にして力むし、、パットも距離あわない、全部ダメダメです
アゲインストの6番で力んでトップしてついにOBで+3
前半47も打って大ピンチ、結局ハーフターンして開き直るまでドタバタでした
今日の課題
今回はドライバーのフェースターンを意識してから2ラウンド目
ちょうどいいタイミングと量を探りました
今日時点での結論
１）ダウンスイング初めてすぐ左腕の外旋をスタートしインパクト前には力抜く
２）肘から先ではなく腕の付け根でから外旋して閉じる方が程よくて良い
かな？という結論

Have a great time at Salem Glen CC for my third time!
On Sunday, which is also the final day of the Masters tournament.
The cold rain that fell until morning cleared up, and it's sunny now! However, it's still chilly with a strong wind, and although the fairway looks beautiful, it's actually very wet. It seems that the drainage is poor, which might be due to the red soil of the Gondwana continent that existed about 300-400 million years ago (Note: The Gondwana continent is my personal opinion, which included the southern part of the United States and is similar to Africa).
We could only reserve a tee time for 10:30, and we barely made it to the golf course on time, feeling too relaxed. We paid the fee and started immediately, but it wasn't a good idea to start the round without even warming up with putting. On the first hole, I made a big mistake with a fat shot and a shank, resulting in a double bogey. I was too conscious of hitting from a wet lie and hit a topped shot with my driver, and I couldn't get the right distance with my putts, which was a total disaster.
On the sixth hole, I put too much worry about fat shot and topped the ball, leading to an OB penalty, and my score went up to +3. I had a hard time in the front nine, shooting a 47, and it was a mess until I turned around and tried to adjust.
Today's Task: This time, I focused on the face turn of my driver and experimented with finding the right timing and amount of face turn
Current Conclusion:
- Begin external rotation of the left arm immediately at the start of the downswing and release the tension before impact.
- A better translation would be: "It is better to externally rotate from the upper arm instead of from the elbow and close the clubface, as it feels more comfortable and effective."
See you on the grass again.
