Pretty much a continuation of last year.

  • Work on Key #4 (basically ballstriking - hit the ball solid more consistently)
  • Continue filming a couple of swings during rounds when possible.
  • Work on dialing in distance wedges. Get better at pinpointing 1/2, 3/4, partial backswings.
  • Distance control w/finesse wedges.
  • Try and break 40 for 9 on home course.

Better Key #4, but still needs work. Hip swiveling towards ball around A6. Not committed to swinging to the finish. Also losing shallowing when trying not to make a "manufactured" swing. Getting better at not letting hands drop and turning into lead shoulder.

Did a lot of on course filming and it was eye opening. Hate how it looks on course. Lots of variance between swings, distance wedges look awful, too steep from A6. At least I've identified the problems.

Did not have time to go to short game area with distance/finesse wedges, but using course play helped.

Nope on breaking 40. I suck. Soldiering on because I think once I get some kind of competency on the full swing, it will percolate its way into everything else.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

Work on my distance control around the greens.  Last year I left far too many shot inside 30 yards short leading to too many 2 putts.  I have to get up and down more often.

Keep the ball in play with the driver, I made some big strides at the end of last season, but need to hit more fairways.

Shoot par for 18 holes, came close last year shooting a +1 72.

    • Wow, a new season is upon us.  At this stage I have about 36 days of referee work scheduled, and I know I'll pick up a few more later in the season.  I have a couple of highlights, including two USGA qualifiers.  First is the US Senior Open at the Homestead, VA, second is for the US Senior Women's Open and Senior Amateur.  In just about two weeks I'll be co-chair for a college women's championship near Baltimore, a bit of a step up in responsibility.  The other highlight will be the Kenridge Invitational in Charlottesville, VA.  That one has had the same four officials for a few years, and I was specifically invited to take the spot of a retiring referee.  Apparently I'm doing something right. We had a difficult situation this past week at a junior event.  Two players approached me while walking off the 17th green.  They said they had noticed another player marking, lifting, and aligning his ball while it was on the fringe of the green, NOT on the green.  That's a 1-stroke penalty (Rule 9.4 for anyone who cares), and I told them to talk to the Player in order to make sure the score was recorded correctly.  Apparently that went fine, the Player realized he'd made a mistake, and accepted the Penalty gracefully.  His father, on the other hand, became irate, cursing at the two Players, cursing at the guy in charge of the competition, even cursing at the fathers of the two boys.  Not much anyone could to except to let him rant, but its sad to see.
