Looking to improve my last score (82). With my new driver, I'm hitting more fairways which means more GIR and better scores.

I'm also looking forward to receiving my wedges in the mail!

Looking forward to the summer months here in CT. Courses finally start to firm up. Been shooting some better scores lately so looking to hopefully keep that going.

Just looking forward to playing in general.

I'm playing Chambers Bay on Friday. This will be my third time playing the course, and the first time in warm summer conditions. I've been practicing some different shots in preparation for the wind and firm turf. I've found it takes some real discipline to hit a chippy 7 iron from 120 out, but it's liberating once I commit to it. I'm just so unaccustomed to playing those kind of shots, as conditions up here in the North are typically far too soft.

On Friday I will be quiting my job. I have accepted a teaching position with a local high school district. I will be teaching Sports Medicine. This is a huge change for me. Now you might be asking how will this effect my golf game? I am currently running health clubs. I work from 8AM to as late as 8 PM M-F. I also work every Saturday. I have not taken a vacation since 2004. My new schedule will be from 7 AM to 3 PM M-F. I will not be working evenings or weekends. I will also have 10 weeks off in the Summer. Can you say practice? I may try to pick up a golf related job for the Summer next year.

I am also going on my anual golf weekend with my brother and his friends. We will be playing 90+ holes at Garland from August 15-17.

    • Ooh, I don't know about that. I've hit flop shots that are 6-7° down. The more you widen the spin loft the less ball speed you put into the ball.
    • Re: your graphic, ‘ I expected a little more from a varsity letterman.’ Lol…just another one for @boogielicious
    • Can't brag about a 50 last night but it was the best round of my season (4 rounds of 9 holes) so I am not as upset as I could be.  One thing I am noticed is that I got a little more confident in my long hybrids and I attempted a couple longer shots that typically I would just lay up and those holes were a big part of the lower score.  Not every shot was great but good enough that they helped.  I even shot par on a Par 5 after taking a drop.  On that hole I would usually lay-up to @ 100 yards and often miss the green altogether with my 3rd shot (or worse chunk my approach and put it in the waste area).  Yesterday I went for it from @ 200 yards out with wind in my face and landed in the waste area short of the green.  My drop left @ 40 yards in and I stuck it to 3 feet for my par putt.  If I had laid up I would have avoided the penalty stroke but likely would not have been on the green in regulation and may still have been working for par.  By going for it I gave myself a chance at birdie and still saved par. I do not plan on being crazy aggressive but I think I tend to be too conservative at times so I will "go for it" a little more often going forward. 
    • Day 14 (15 May 24) - Worked with the SW in the backyard, short pitches from 10yds up to 30yds.   Focused on ball placement in stance - ball back, ball forward, ball center.  Afterwards moved to inside the shop to work on putting pace on the rug - putting one way gives about an 8' putt, going the other a 6' before bumping onto the adjacent rug.  Focused there on the line - picking a target point about 18"-24" out and making sure the ball rolls through that point. 
    • When someone is trying to validate their choice, statements concluding with "right" are often the MO.  Too bad he thinks he has to keep defending his decision, just do like guys like DJ and HVIII - take the money, play the tourneys and keep quiet.
