Just got back from playing 18 at the local par 72 muni today and had to share.  I was so excited when I got home and looked at my scorecard and it added up to 69!  I knew I was playing well, made 4 birdies, but I didn't even notice I only made one bogey.  First time I've been under 70 and only the second time I've broken par (which happened 2 years ago just from a good ball striking day).  Today, I was just playing good golf, smart moves, never doing anything irrational, and just playing by instinct.  I did make some amazing saves today from under, around, and over trees today.  My partners said they were amazing, never got to see any of them.  I got to 2 par 5's today in 2 after dunking it into the trees and escaping with some crazy 4 iron shots, threading it through these little slivers of light.  My tee game was not as good as it usually is, but my approaches and putting speed were on.  I got away with every crazy escape I tried today and turned out great.  Maybe Seve was watching.

      Winter Depression Thread

      By StuM ·

      Not sure this is the best thread but, if the rain holds off, today is my 1st round of the year.  Getting ready I can not find my Shot Scope.  I guess I put it away too well for the winter and thus that is may "Winter Depression".  I'm sure I put it somewhere that made sense at the time.

      Day 288 - putted on my mat for a while listening to a presentation. Checking my head movement in the mirror, then just focusing on a good stroke.
