My "Home Course" season ended 11/12/2023. I was a bit disappointed in the -7 total, but the number was in line with previous seasons. Unless I manage to eagle a hole during the off season, my "Away" results are also final. Now the process of looking forward to the 2024 season begins.

I did not meet the goal this year. I missed out on 8, 10, 14 (!), and 18.

I didn't play much June through August, seeing as how we were moving Golf Evolution. And when I did, I was mostly "practicing" on the golf course. So, I'm not disappointed.

Eagles were down this year as well, of course.

I only birdied 8 of the holes on "My Home Course". By way of comparison, last year I was able to check off 14 of them, not quite twice as many. 


Having said that, I did play a lot of other courses this year. I tried out at least 7 or 8 courses which I've never played before this year. I only played 3 full rounds on my "Home Course" this year. I did, of course, play 12 or 13 Nine-Hole-Rounds in the weekly golf league at my home course. So that added a few birdies. 

My final round at my home course I actually made 2 birdies. But they were both on holes that I already had. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Only need 16-17th to get all my birdies done for the 2023 year. at my local course. 

Best this year 4x birdies in a round... really like to get 5x+

Got the 16th PAR4 birdie  .. in SAT medal comp ... a long very hard putt that just dropped somehow ...(couldn't do it again if I tried 50x times!!!)

Got out on Friday and played Whispering Woods, including birdieing the 18th, so technically I can cross that one off. Just 8, 10, and 14 of all holes.

I just realized I kept referring to 14, but I birdied 14 many times this year. 13 is the hole I haven't birdied (plus 8 and 10).

The spreadsheet is right, though. And has been.

    • Day 21 - Good session with driver and 6i. Hitting real golf balls is quite a bit different from the foam balls, still getting used to that change. 
    • There are so many videos comparing and contrasting everything that I am both overwhelmed and more than a bit skeptical. Your comments above are much more valuable than hours of you-tube videos. Generally speaking, I’d much prefer to read something that someone took the time and trouble to write (such as your comments) than a bunch of videos, or worse, meaningless reviews that seem like they are all cut and paste selections of the same script. I’m more of a RTFM type than a watcher of “instructional” videos. By way of explanation, I don’t watch TV either.  So thanks - I’ll take that under advisement. I have an H3 that I bought for $10 that I’ve been carrying around but not sure why. Seems like a cool club, but I just don’t really know what to do with it. 
    • I was using the window as a mirror. Just trying to be a more aware of the feels for a better backswing. Trying to not be as closed from A1 to A2. Then not letting the club head flip inside. What I was feeling was a pressure my right wrist, and like the palm of my right hand was pushing upward against the grip of the club. My right hand was the underside of the swing path.  Going to play around with this a bit more. It looked pretty decent with mirror/window work. Just wanted to jot it down. 
    • Day 4: 3/26/25 Par4Success workout followed by putting through 50 mm gates.
    • Day 249: did a stack putting session and then worked on 5 foot putts for a bit.
