It's all coming together!!!

well dudes i figure i would share here, other than one other good buddy of mine, you might be the only guys who care!! hahaha!!!!

i have been playing so well the past month or so, it really is wierd
i have dropped my hcp from an 8 to just under a 4, in one month

i have increased practice time, working mainly on my short game/putting
i now practice approx. 4-5hrs/week and get in 36-54 holes/week

i have finally found a good shaft/ball combo and BOOM! things are just clicking
today i shot even par on 9 holes, and literally should have been -2...as i left 2putts on the rim (grrr!!!)

i am through my equipment changes and now just everything is good

my 2010 goal is to get down to a 2 or better index to get a try out for the SK mens open
if i qualify, i want to try and make the cut and golf the weekend
this is a Canadian Tour event........i just wanna say i could hang w the BIG BOYS!!!

after my round today, i stayed to putt/chip some more
i couldnt miss a putt tonight
anything from 15ft in, i was nailing

i walked of the practice surface laughing at myself
this honeslty is THE BEST GOLF i have ever played - i really am in a groove!!

anyways....thxs for listening!!!

knock on wood man, hope you don't jynx yourself.

Next year I need to hunker down and really work on my putting, really the only thing that holds me back. Glad to see the practice is paying off.

Nice man, nice. Hopefully mine will come together soon. I've improved quite a bit this summer, but still looking for everything to fall into place.

I just have to ask, do you work on a golf course? If not what do you do that affords you that much time to practice?

haha! figured this question would come up no i dont work on a golf course - i'm a Mortgage Broker the 2009 year has been VERY good to me (income wise) im not even a member anywhere, i just golf wherever no boss, no sales targets, no set hours i come and go as i please and basically do what i want before every round i will practice at least 45 mins. and after a round if i cant do that or get in a few rounds, I will spend it putting/chipping i rarely hit balls on the range, only if i need to work on something specific 95% of my practice routine is spent on short game, and i have made dramatic results because of this next year will be the first year i will be a memeber, since i was a junior - cant wait!!!

[enis750]

well I figured I would resurect this topic for a moments
since posting I went through a few tough rounds that bumped me back closer to a 5 again (I originally posted this at a 3.6 I think)

this weekend I golfed 36 and I tell ya, It was a journey
first 18 was on a decent course that plays just over 6900 yds
shot a 78, but very up and down w 2 doubles and 1 birdie

today was a doozey
heres some highlights:

*4 birdies today (most in one round for me this year)
*only 25 putts
*shot 77
*zero 3 putts

BUT, here are the "non-highlights":

*shot 77, but should have been a 72
*2 doubles
*3 FW hit & 6 GIR
*shanked my tee shot on a 175yd par 3, into a 2 club wind (literally went 60 yds right)

I am struggling to eliminate the one hole blowups
going into 17 I was -2 for the back nine
proceeded to then go double, bogey to finish at 77
I do blame a part of this score on shitty grips - im sorry, Im not one to make excuses, but I will
I havent installed my Golf Pride MC ND's yet, and i seriuosly think it had a major impact on today
I was missing FW's, GIR's and hitting some terrible shots - i almost tossed my clube down the FW today, because my hands were slipping so bad (dont wear a glove either)

If i could avoid one hole blow ups or the odd fat or thin shot, I know I could be playing to a 1 or 2 index....i know it

BUT...my Scotty was on FIRE TODAY!!!! I have never hit 25 putts this year - was pretty stoked about that though........end rant
