Something interesting I noticed my last time out. I just started really playing this summer, and have played 9-hole rounds about 8 times in the last few months before the sun started getting too low to try to get out after work. Anyhow, me and my buddy were out on the course a couple of weeks ago, and I noticed that the greens didn't seem nearly as far away as they had when I first would go out there. There are a couple of holes where you have to carry a creek. Last time out, I was looking at the fairway right across the creek, and thought it amazing how close it's getting now.

Does this make sense to any of you?

I just thought it was neat.

You're probably starting to hit it farther so you're measuring things in comparison to how far you can hit. Or you're getting used to the course and I don't know, maybe it just is getting into perspective for you.

As your developing as a golfer, your distance and consistency increases and as a result your confidence increases too. The distance looking shorter is probably a result of the increased sense of confidence in your own game.

    • It's been a remarkable slow start for me this year, but I finally cracked through with my first two birdies of the year over the weekend. Ironically they were the 18th at Community (Hills) GC Saturday and then No. 1 at Miami Shores on Sunday. Don't ask about the rest of them. For the purposes of the chart, I'll just use Miami Shores. Most of the golf I play any more is there and normally the front nine only.    
    • 39-35 today for a +2 (74) on a 72.6/129. Struggled over the first few holes as I bogeyed five straight to start. Wasn't even striking the ball bad - just couldn't hit a green and didn't hit good chips + one penalty. Then I went -3 over the next 6 to save the round and then parred the last 7. Golf is fun.
    • The Holdovers. Birdie. I’m a big Paul Giamatti fan and felt this was an exceptional performance. The film has a great blend of comedy and heart felt drama. 
    • I rewatched this last night on HBO Max, and I re-affirm this. I loved Dune Par 1. It finally brought Dune to the big screen in the best way possible. Dune Part 2 is so much better, which is impressive. I like the direction they went with the characters in the story compared to the books. It was brought up to date in a good way. Yea, I am glad to see that they are working on Dune Part 3. 
    • I love Louisville Golf's Niblicks, which they made for me decades ago and I began using again, though I now replaced the shafts for whippier ones (see my recent post). Unlike your photo, mine had steel bottoms. Forget about eBay, Louisville still makes them. They work much better for me than the modern metal woods.
