On Saturday, I shot my personal best, 86. On Sunday, I had a 4some scheduled for 9:30, but got to the course early to try and sneak in a round, first one on the course teeing for at 7am, but I ended up pairing up with another guy for company. Because of the pair, that round took longer, and I ended up having to stop after the 14th hole. I was playing really well, and avoided ANY blowup holes until that point, which was a first. I was at 69 through 14 holes. The final 4 holes were all par 4's, and easily bogeyable the way i was playing.

Fast forward to 9:30am round. I par the first two holes. How great, Continuing my hot streak.... Then at the 4th hole the wheels came undone. 2 in the woods off the tee... I ended up with a 107 (in reality this was higher this was just my ESC) when all was said and done. with ESC I got 8's on 6 holes (most on the back 9) I had a 47 on the front. . On most of the other holes that I didn't butcher I ended up mostly with some pars and bogeys. I think I ended up getting hungry for lunch and it caused me to fatigue, because I typically don't play in 4somes so the round took longer than expected. Plus once I knew

Funny though big of change youc an have between two rounds within the same day!!!

Dang you must really be a golf addict or have plenty of energy to try and get in a round under 2 1/2 hrs then tee off again.I couldnt play well unless I know for sure I can get the whole 18 in.Im not the 9 hole type just because of what happened to you.You just know that when you only play nine that your gonna do well and wonder what could have been if I played 18.

And then no one believed you right?

No Chance I could only do 9 holes. Especially since the Front 9 is actually the easier of the two, so there is always the hope of putting together a great round. I am pretty addicted, lol, it's actually bad now. Even 36 holes for me isn't really enough. I typically play alone which is why I can get through the rounds so quickly, although more recently I've been asking my club to pair me with people, so I end up playing less holes, but I've found it helps me focus a bit more, since it slows me down. I have a very hard time pacing myself when I play alone,

Just a heads up Dan, Don't type within the quote box.  It malforms the post.  Look at the above, it looks like everything YOU wrote was actually written by Duff.

No biggie, we've all done it at one time or another.

And welcome to the board!

But then again, what the hell do I know?

Rich - in name only

    • Day 76 - Pretty sore today, so I opted for putting over my Stack session. Primary focus was on starting line, as my putting has been pretty poor this year. 
    • Been a bit of delay in updates but I needed to come back east as my mom's health has taken a serious turn for the worse. In a 3 day span we learned she had a tumor to she has stage 4 cancer and stopped eating and drinking for the most part. She has had a rough 3 months but certainly didn't think we'd be at the point of setting up hospice for her. My mom was never into any sports really other than following the Red Sox because my dad was a big fan. She always cared about what we were involved in including asking about how golf went.  I have kept up with my 5 minutes of daily practice and will go to the gym here in NH tomorrow morning. Despite the somber nature of this trip my family has commented more than a few times about my weight loss so it's important to me to keep it up. I know my mom always wanted us happy in whatever we did so I'll continue with my fitness journey keeping that in mind. 
    • Day 109- Putting drills on a putting green for 20 minutes. 
    • Day 252: did a stack session. Did some slow rehearsal swings during breaks. 
    • Day 82: 3/18/24 Tried a Stack session but could not certify my warmup. Finished with indoor chips and putting.
