43 degrees again in Northern Ohio, so I took my new Maltby SW, a 7 iron, and my weighted practice club out
to the back yard. Swung the weighted club for a few minutes to loosen up, then chipped and pitched 40 or
50 balls to targets in the yard. Then I hit some "limited flight" practice balls with a 7 iron....OMG, those things
go farther than I thought! Two of them went over the back fence into my neighbor's yard (he's a golfer too, and
played on the HS golf team when I was coach, so I "hope" he'll toss them back when he finds them!). Altogether,
a good first practice, considering the time of year. Ideally, we'd be in Florida right now, but decided to stay home
this year, due to Covid. Today made it almost bearable!!
