First Match

Alright y’all! The 2021 golf season has already begun, but the first match is on Tuesday. Here’s how it works this year:

•There are six teams in our conference, and either one or two teams will advance to regionals. That much is still unclear.

•Last year, six players from each team played in matches. This year, only five are playing. I’m playing the 4th seed in our team. My brother unfortunately did not make the starting lineup. It was close, but he missed.

•I still don’t know how many conference matches there are, but I’m seeing only four on the schedule as of today. Three nine hole matches, two eighteen hole matches, plus the 18-hole Conference Championship. Our coach says he’s gonna try to work in one or two more matches.

•At the end of the season, the top twelve players in scoring average will make All Conference. This is what I want so badly, and based off the current schedule, I’ve only got 63 holes to decide that. I just need a good start come Tuesday.

I’m looking forward to what could be my last shot at going to regionals (all our good players this year are seniors). I’m planning on a brief post in What’d You Shoot Today, and then going more in-depth here. I’ll also do a post here at the end of each week. Looking forward to the season!

    • So, my league starts next week, and I have a golf trip in two weeks. I am thinking no matter what I do, I will have to do my left leg and downswing turning piece. At least this turning piece helps me negate shanking the shot.  I probably shanked the foam ball about 10x in a row yesterday. Given, I was doing downswing work with not much caring about the body rotation. I was struggling to feel the same thing from two days ago. Where I was able to feel the arm piece and the turning piece working together. Yesterday, my body turn was just destroying my arms down piece.  That said, it’s not like I have a great feel for where the club is in space. Especially with how fast the downswing is. If I do the arms downswing piece with the turn piece better. I just feel those two things. Then after I am going into the finish I am like, "Oh, that was center of the clubface". I am glad the clubface found the ball. Maybe that is normal when you are trying to fix your mechanics. You are so hyper focused on the hitting the swing feel that the feel for the club is just gone.  I’ve watched YouTube videos where they talk about how correct lower-body mechanics give you the feeling of having tons of time in the downswing. I’m like, BS! there is no time. If anything, it feels faster now. 🤣 I do notice that the clubface stays more open past impact, less flippy. Not like I am trying to do that. Actually, with the downswing arm piece, I am trying to feel like I am rolling my wrist (closing the club a bit more). 
    • Well, if any one cares, this has been very successful in Cricket. It is full 3D and has drastically reduced wrong calls. There are still instances that the umpire's original decision is upheld if marginal. People rolled their eyes at first but now almost everyone with it.  
    • Jason Day had 1 wild Masters outfit rejected, still raising eyebrows Despite having one planned Masters outfit rejected for the 2026 event, Jason Day's apparel is still raising eyebrows at Augusta National. The pants + jacket is a bit much. I don't mind the vest. It is fine.  August is really stuffy in that way; their entire enterprise is based on image control. I am not shocked.  Don't you dare wear your hat backwards 🤣
