Very excited! The round started with an errant tee shot, but I recovered with a one putt. It took me a couple of holes to straighten the driver out, then everything just when right. Smooth and easy. Fairways hit, greens in regulation, good chipping and four or five up and downs. I even had a chip in. Lots of pars and no birdies.

I started playing a year and one month ago. Not bad for a 50 year old guy. I've spent a lot of time working on my S&T swing and even more time on chipping and putting (Utley books and Mickelson DVD).

Thanks for the many great tips from this site. Of course now I will expect this all the time.

Wow! Congratulations. I'm very jealous. I've been playing for several years and haven't hit that mark. It sounds like you'll be breaking 80 before long.

Well done that man! Hard (and smart) work pays off.

      Day 40: short range session. Worked on my drill mostly. Finished with some full swings and driver swings. Range was packed because it was so nice out. Solid session though.

      Day 5, 1/3/26.  Today was a weird day schedule-wise, but I did find 15 minutes to hit 6-iron shots (indoors, off a mat, into a net).  I also got to thinking about yesterday's round and, other than a few thin shots (that I think were weather/grip related), I didn't have any wild non-driver shots, which was weird for me.  I need to get back to video, which is tough in my setup. Also, this wouldn't count on its own, but anyone reading this and thinking about doing their own 5 minutes daily, check out Fit for Golf's latest podcast episode.  It's only a few minutes and Mike does a great job talking about the importance of doing a bit each day.  That also reminded me, I let my FFG subscription lapse, I'm going to renew it.

      Day 32 (3 Jan 26) - Misty, rainy day - opted to rehearse swing in the mirror - focused on face position at P6 thru P9.
