Finally got out this Friday. I declared a golf emergency and went out to my home course and played 18. Had in interesting round:

GIR = 5
Fairways = 11
Pars = 6
Birdies = 1 (and I hung two on the lip!!!)
3 putts = 2

Overall 87 (the bad news was 5 double bogeys

So there may be hope for this year yet. The putter felt really solid even though I had three putts. The greens were very uneven and bumpy.

Hope springs eternal!!!

I didn't hit the course over the weekend but I did venture out to the range. It felt good to get the dust off. I figured out some of my slice problem. Now there's still a little I need to take care of. Now instead of slicing from the beginning my shots are slicing more towards the end of their flight. Over all though it was good to get out and feel the sun warming my skin.

I am playing my first round this weekend. I hope for good results as well. I usually play better in the first rounds out because I don't try to do too much, however, I then think I magically turn into Tiger.

On a side note, I am able to get out this weekend because my wife allowed me a weekend trip, so I am flying down to S. Carolina where my parents have a house to take advantage of the warmer weather. My wife got sick of me complaining about the horrible weather and for my sanity, and quite frankly hers...I get a golf weekend. WOO HOO.

    • There is 100%, incontrovertible, undisputed evidence and proof that he wasn’t winning majors from 2015 - 2024. Even though I concede that my take is laughable, I don’t think it’s laughable to say that Rory’s major drought during that period is one of the most extreme droughts in modern golf history.  Extreme meaning, with his innate and physical talent (AND his major record pre-2015), he could’ve should’ve won multiple majors during that period. If you agree with that, then the question is why?  What was preventing him from closing the deal on majors?
    • You have no proof that Rory's perceived "jackedness" was hindering him from hitting the crucial shots under pressure at the majors. I don't think his jackedness caused Rory to miss a combined like 7 feet of putts over the last 2 holes at the 2024 US Open. 
    • Not a problem chetlover, as I look back - even thought I truly believed in the take - it looks laughable.  IF - Rory had done some of the things I mentioned and lost, I’m sure I would have trumpeted how prescient I was.  But now, perhaps my take can be considered for a Wall of Shame. Colin M - - haha, he’s jacked for sure - jacked on Big Macs. Brooks and Bryson;  Brooks buffness looks pretty natural?  And Bryson - definitely on the bizarre end of the spectrum.  But for both Brooks and Bryson, they were winning majors.  Whatever jackness they had-have, natural or extreme, was not hindering them from hitting the crucial shots under pressure, at the majors.
    • Did Rory ever explain the horrible pitch on 13? Was it a miss hit?
    • ^^^ I think this year gave us something incredibly exciting, but also special. That list of career grand slam winner is something else. Well, except for Gary Player.
