Since getting into college this year I have hardly had any time/money to play any golf at all.  I think i've played 5 total time since august and none since Novemeber, due to not having much time to get in a full round, and not having the money to pay 10 dollars for a large bucket at the local range (sheesh) so my expectations heading into this round were non-existant pretty much, I went to the range and hit the ball decently after a while, and thought that I'd at least be able to shoot around an 80 and i'd be happy with that.  Then I proceeded to shoot a 68! One shot away from a career low (even though i had back to back bogeys on 15 and 16 ) I couldn't believe it my timing was as good as its ever been in a round, and if it were not for two three puts and a chunked pitch shot I could have really put together a really good round.  I can't believe I played so well, maybe it was because I played smart and didn't try to do too much but if anyone would have told me I'd go out and shoot a 68 I would have laughed at them.  Anyone else have such a good round after a long layoff? Cause this was honestly the most shocking round of golf I ever played.

    • 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 279 6-8  Worked on low point control skills work tonight. will be doing this for a few weeks. Tonight was just trying figure out how to get low point forward.  No ball.  
    • 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.
