One of my goals for the year was to break 70 and I achieved it yesterday with a 69 on my home course. Its a par 70 and I had a 35 on the front and 34 on the back.

Highlights
1 eagle
6 birdies
-5 on the Par 5s
+1 on the Par 3s

Low lights
+3 on Par 4s including 2 bogeys, 2 double bogeys and 3 birdies
Missed a 8 foot birdie putt on 14
Missed a 5 foot birdie putt on 17 (nerves)
Drove into the trees on 18 and then proceeded to 3 putt for bogey (nerves)

I scrambled my butt off for the entire round, so it certainly didn't feel like a stellar performance. I was a little surprised that my score affected my game the way it did on the closing holes. This year I've tried hard to immerse myself in my routine but wow, I was pretty shaky on the last 2 holes.

Nonetheless, pretty stoked today! I was a 19 handicap 2 years ago, so lots of hard work has paid off!

If you are a 7.0 handicap like what you have listed, that sure is a damn good accomplishment. Not only that but you had two double-bogies yet still kept your cool instead of blowing up after them. Way to go!!!!

      Day 35, June 8. Before leaving for work this morning (yes, I'm posting this quite late relative to the practice), I spent 15 minutes practicing at home, into a net.  This time, it was primarily 9-iron (full swings), with some UW (full and half) and a few 6-iron.

      Day 73: just some mirror work today. Working on feels for being open and getting the front shoulder down.

      I'm liking this. Finally getting down hands in front of my trail leg pocket consistently at A6 with much better clubhead position (relatively not as tipped out). I can really pressure the shaft through impact with good face control  from this position and stay in balance. Won my first one v one march 5&4 against a 4 hcp who routinely drives it 35-40 yards past me in the men's club match play . Frustrated him with some solid iron play and air tight putting.

      Day 8 (Jun 8 26) - Stayed the drill but added two additional irons (7i, 8i and 9i) - using Divot Board and hard foam balls - focused on tempo and purposed pause at the top….noticing how open the club is marking the board when I try to kill it and how much more square (and better distance) when I focus on these keys.
