"I wanted to make sure my clubs and my swing were getting maximum performance so I can continue to compete. After a few swings, he decided to work on my club positions right away which seems to be what was causing my left misses. After that we spoke about course management with was something I didn’t think about enough. After we were happy with the swing change we rechecked all of my clubs and made a few weight adjustments to get to my swingweight. I’ll be back soon!
