2. Break 90 Consistently (2/12 So Far)
3. Practice At Least Twice A Week (Currently Doing)
4. Get Fitted And Buy New Clubs (In Progress)
5. 36 Or Less Putts Per Round (9/12 So Far)

My new goal is to make golf (actual golf, not chatting on here) part of my daily routine, even if it is simply making slow motion practice swings and putts in the living room.

Awards, Achievements, and Accolades

1) I would like to be more consistant with shaping my shots.

2) I would like to reduce my handicap to a 7 or 8.

3) I would like to play a round with 36 putts or less.

Whats in my Tour Cart II bag:

Driver - 09' Speedline 9.5°
3W - 09' Launcher
2i Hybrid - 10' Launcher DST3i Hybrid - 09' Launcher with ACCRA AC85 M4Irons (4-PW) - 10' AP2 with Dynamic Gold S300GW - 10' 54° CG15LW - 10' 60° CG15Putter - Method 001


  1. Play once a week and practice twice a week.
  2. Take at least 5 lessons.
  3. Break 45 (or 90 if I ever get around to playing 18).
  4. Learn to hit my driver farther (forward) than my hybrid.

1) Hit the fairway on my drives 80% of the time
2)Average 32 putts per round

This would save me about 5 strokes per round at least.

Well I'm making it my goal to make the high school team, and lower my scores to about 80 average. I'm getting around 85 now.


 
 


My only goal for this year is to start playing again!

Back in January, I had surgery to reconstruct my anterior cruciate ligament. For 4 months I never touched a golf club and only started doing some short game work at the start of June.

Last week I progressed onto hitting short irons and it was a huge relief / boost to discover the swing was still there. A bit tentative, but still there.

I'm planning to progress to a full round of golf at the start of July

In the bag...

Get better.
WAY better.

A quote from Kris
...is that college bball really isn't "lower tier". The better teams have their rosters filled with guys who could play in the NBA. hell, guys used to come straight from high school to the NBA. I really don't think there's much of a difference skill-wise between the two.


I just started playing this year. I currently shoot around the 104 - 107 mark consistently. I did get a 99 once. My goal this season is shoot in the low 90's and play as much golf as possible.

    • Day 316 - More swings, full backswing and full finish.
    • Day 132: did some mirror work while watching TV. Worked on backswing stuff primarily. 
    • 26 Nov 24 -  It was not a record breaking round by any means, but rather a simple walking of the back nine today playing TBWB (two ball-worse ball) where the challenge is to play the worse of the two shots played - could be an errant drive from the woods, a tree knocked ball that is 100 yds farther back down the fairway, a nGIR ball as opposed to a GIR….the goal today was to stay no worse than bogie thru nine.  Managed to achieve that goal - bogied 7 holes with one dbl and one par to counter the dbl.  It’s about staying focused and not letting a bad shot or lie derail, but rather be an opportunity. 
    • Day 208 (26 Nov 24)- Opted to walk 9 today (was the back nine as they had a huge group going off the front) but instead of it being persimmons and blades, I had the regular gamers but made it a TBWB (two ball-worst ball) round.  This really challenges on several fronts - ball striking to be as consistent as possible, course management from non-optimal lies and keeping your head in it as it can be depressing to nail a shot on line-on target and the second rattles the trees right and it’s over 50 yards back and that’s the one you have to play.  The goal was to be no worse than bogie overall (+9).  Finished the round exactly on the number with some solid recoveries, no penalty strokes and only one 3-putt.
