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.

    • @colin007, in terms of realistic sci-fi, its the best ever. They actually had an astrophysicist consult on the movie to be as accurate as possible with what we know about the universe.  For like dystopian, Blade Runner is probably king. Action/suspense is probably Alien/Aliens. Though Starship Troopers is fantastic. The Matrix is amazing.  
    • Day 4 (August 14).  Full swing in my indoor practice room;  6-iron, off a mat, into a net.  Focus was on what I believe was my priority piece at last lesson (which, admittedly, was almost three years ago, due to absence).  I hit about a dozen balls this morning before going into the office.  (Also, errata to yesterday:  9 of the 12 coins were picked up on the second or third go around -- you can't pick up one on the first go around for that drill)
    • Watched The Gentlemen, took a little bit to get into it, but very good Guy Ritchie movie.  Collin Farrell and Hugh Grant were great. Give it a birdie.
    • Played in the Rhode Island CC Senior Member guest, my partner and I won the tournament. 2-day Stableford format, we ended with 104 points, won by 7. Points include 2 holes on each 9, where both players score count, can make up some points if you both play well on those holes.  @DaveP043has played a similar format (I played with Dann from RICC).   
    • Played Wannamoisett CC on Monday.  What a neat old Donald Ross course, Par 69.  The conditions were immaculate, might be one of the best maintained courses, I've played.
