Had a great round this weekend guys, and just had to tell you all about it.

A buddy of mine and myself played 18 at The Phoenix Golf Links in Columbus, Ohio over the weekend.

My largest goal of the year was achieved - I broke 100! Might seem funny to some, but coming from an absolute hack last year to under 100 this year is really big to me. Had 101, 103s, etc. on semi-difficult courses before, but never broke the century mark.

I shot 49-49 which also met my other big goal - break 50 on nine - and I did it twice!

On the par 5 #8, I also had my second birdie ever! Great drive, great 3-wood, and ran my 7-iron up to 4-feet and sank the putt. Was great to put a circle on the scorecard!

My buddy also had an eagle for the second weekend in a row. Long par 4, killed his drive, and sank his 7-iron from 185 yards out. Bounce, bounce, bounce, DUNK! Was awesome to witness. We've both had chip-ins before, but from 185 out it was crazy!

My index also just dropped to 29.2 which was another goal of mine to break 30!

Just had to gleam for a bit guys, thanks!!

It's a great feeling to set goals and meet them. I'm around your level and finally shot my best round this past Monday of 93. That was with a 44 on the front nine, I would have done great if I hadn't got nervous with 2 groups backed up behind me when I started the back nine, shot an 8 on the first hole.

Just on a sidenote, because it may help you. This record round was my first time playing with a GPS. I use a free app for my Blackberry phone called BBGPS Golf, which also records your distances for each club and averages them out. Previously I went out to a par 3 and hit every iron possible to get some distances stored for my real round. It worked amazing. It was so nice seeing a distance for my drives, and knowing with confidence which iron to grab.

Thanks for the tip on the app...downloading now!

    • The first issue Erik spoke about is something we worked on for my swing during both GEARS sessions. GEARS was showing my pelvis center moving towards the ball during the back swing. I wasn’t the 4” guy though! This forced me to correct on the downswing to give myself space. My hip rotation was to high as well. We corrected it by first getting the weight off my heels in my stance and getting my posture correct. Then the feel was shifting back into my right hip at a 45 degree angle. This kept my pelvis center from moving towards the ball at the start of the backswing. I also didn’t sway back as much as I felt I did because of the angle I was shifting. Feel Ain’t Real. The cool thing about GEARS is as you work on something you can see the exact (Real) change happening. On video, it is much harder to spot this issue because of the 2D nature of filming. But I know what to look for now. Sadly, I was hurt all last year and most of this year so I really haven’t been able to work on it much. I did do a lot of backswing work though.
