For those who are still snowed under up north. First shots of the year, just getting some practice in.

First shot....220 yard hybrid off the tee with 2 inches of roll.


2nd shot....soft 115 yard pw plugged 30 feet right. I guess I was scared of the water on the left? Is snow considered rub of the green?? I won't mention how many it took me to get down from here.


I'm hitting new (to me) irons this year and getting improved distance. Actually, I don't know if it's the irons or the work I've done in the past two months on the range. Ball flight is lower/penetrating, and my dispersion seems to have shrunk by many yards. I went from my 13 year old regular shafted game improvement wilson's to Titleist ZB stiff. These irons seem to be a club to a club and a half longer. Don't get me wrong I'm still pretty short. For example I hit two balls over the top of the flag stick flying the 6th green with a 6 and a 7 iron before sticking an 8 iron to 20 feet from 150 yards.


Even I can make this putt!! The result of a 70 yard 60 degree wedge.


The fairways/greens were plugging, tees were up, the greens S L O W, but I was playing golf by golly!

Nice pics. Things are looking up in NJ. 62 degrees, dropped the driver off to be re-shafted, and hit 100 balls at the driving range on lunch. It's beginning to look a lot like golf season again. YES!

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 47, June 22.  After work today, I spent 20 minutes in my indoor practice room, hitting about as many balls.  Slow, as slow as I could, 6-iron swings, same priority piece as the past month.

      Day 291 6-22 full, faster swings, focusing on low point, missing towel. Recorded some face on and dtl. Practicing full speed changes is something I wasn't doing enough.

      Best Shot of the Week

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Club of the week, my hybrid. Stripe show on every shot. This one was probably the best. About 240 to the green. The ball was on a severe upslope. I hit it just off the back of the green (like 1-ft.

      That will sting for a long time. Had all the momentum in the world.  The on course heckling of WC a bit over the top. IMO, that may have even galvanized him. Kinda like RC. He may have picked up some sympathy too. So boo to the boos. I can't stand him (and it's not just the incidences) but I think when punishment outsizes the crime, the tide tend to turn. He has stuck to "I've earned the hatred" narrative. Smart kid.
