I was just about to ask. Looks like he doesn't just screw up playoff games anymore.

He shot 36-44, with a triple on 16. Ouch.

Joruss, you said that they moved some of the par 3's up etc...

Do you know this ahead of time so you will adjust what clubs you carry? For example, if you knew that the 220yd par 3 was going to be 180yds instead you might leave the hybrid in the bag and carry an extra wedge instead. Do they tell you this ahead of time or is everything completely "blind?"

I played a qualifier at Briggs Ranch in San Antonio, TX. I played early (finished around 1:00), played well (shot -2 , 70), then had to wait to see if there was going to be a play off to get in. I hated to wait around for 6 hours to see, so I left and came back. Sure enough, there was a playoff at -2. There were three of us for two spots. I'm glad I came back, because I got in. I finally advance to the next round. I did not even have a chance to warm back up. I got my sticks, walked to the first tee and striped one, then put the next one about 15 ft from the pin. One guy had a 10 footer for a bogey so I made sure I left myself a 1 inch put to advance... After all, I did not have to make it. I realize I'm going to have to shoot about -6 in the next round to have a chance, so I am going to work on putting on really fast greens, trust my game, and see what happens.

I have two goals in the sectionals..... Don't piss my pants on the first tee, and play as good as I can, leaving nothing in the bag. If I do the best I can and don't make it, I'm good. I'll drink a beer or six and enjoy the moment.

My swing thoughts:

- Negative thinking hurts more than negative swinging.
- I let my swing balance me.
- Full extension back and through to the target. - I swing under not around my body. - My club must not twist in my swing. - Keep a soft left knee

JT's like a 6 handicap or something. So no... I'm pretty sure he didn't try to qualify.

Actually I'm playing my Qualifier at Timacuan in Lake Mary on May 28. Last year I was medalist there with a 71 in the State Mid-Am Qualifying, so I have some good feelings around that place. We'll see how it goes! The Am is at TPC Sawgrass and Sawgrass Country Club this year, so I REALLY want to make it!

I played Timacuan back in the late 80's/ early 90's while I lived in Lake Mary. I was always the straightest driver around, so on the second hole instead of hitting to the island fairway, I would aim for the area to the right of the pond inline to the green. I could just carry the water and be in the "drop" area and have a short shot to the green. As I got longer, I could almost drive the green on that line.

On a different note, I met Brad Faxon and Kenny Perry there at a clinic for Jr. Golfers. We played a couple of holes and had a blast watching them hit shots over the range - way to long for me back then.

Now that's the way to play #2! Good golf hole. Mike Bender used to teach Zach Johnson out at Timacuan, I think they're still associated, but don't know for sure......and we used to run into Zach all the time. Always felt good to see a relatively little guy pound the ball like that.

My first eagle on a par 4 was on the 9th late in the day after they had taken the flags out. It was almost dark when I hit my shot, and when we got to the green we could not see my ball... or the hole for that matter. After some looking, I found my ball in the hole. Talk about a blind dog finding a bone.

My swing thoughts:

- Negative thinking hurts more than negative swinging.
- I let my swing balance me.
- Full extension back and through to the target. - I swing under not around my body. - My club must not twist in my swing. - Keep a soft left knee

Cool...I am 31. That makes me feel a lot better. Maybe I can get to half of your level by the time I am 36!

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By DaHolla ·

      Day 313 - I played 18 today. First and last holes were ugly, but I actually played pretty well. Driver was great, irons were alright, and the short game was better than average.

      By WillieT ·

      Day 205 (23 Nov 24) - Worked with the alignment rod and 7i  in reference to ball position in relation to lead foot on full iron shots, noticed an increase in thinned shots last couple of rounds - better contact with the balls (hard foam) during the drill/swing rehearsals.

      Which Irons?

      By iacas ·

      Have you gone to a fitting? A good fitting will not only give you a clubhead but a shaft, etc. that will suit you.

      Irons Too Nice to Use

      It's not like the Nike Vapor Pro are exactly a highly sought set of irons.

      Irons Too Nice to Use

      By Typhoon92 ·

      Last night I was putting my Nike Vapor Pro Irons back in my bag.  I had my sons i500’s in there the last couple months after we all went to Top Golf .  I picked up the Nike’s this past spring and they are like new.  I feel guilty using them… I have other irons that aren’t valuable that I could use instead.
