Got to play 36holes today, first time I've done two rounds in a day. Went 87/88, which are both solid rounds for me. Not too thrilled though, as I didn't hit the ball well, didn't really have much of a short game, and putting was mediocre. I just "got around" and didn't have any blowups. Slicing off the tee again at times, not really sure what's going on but playing partner said my backswing has shortened up. Hit some good drives in there, but a lot of weak fades.

Irons were more of the same, short fades, I'm just not getting through the ball and hitting it crisp. I'll get to the range today and try to see if I can figure it out, everything feels very mechanical right now. I was hammering drives/irons just a few weeks ago, so I don't think it's a major issue. On the flipside, I'm happy to post two scores that will drop my handicap, I guess that's part of the deal, when your "bad" rounds are still solid scores. I did post a 40 on the back 9 of the first round, so when the driver got going for a bit I was able to score.

    • Feel like you are left side dominant. Keep the back of your glove running through impact. Keeps leading edge down without digging. You will pick them clean with some zip if the grass is nice and generally acceptable results off anything less than ideal. Works with both hingy or dead hand pitches and chips.
    • Day 52 (30 Apr 26) - Had planned a solo round, got invited to be part of trio that included a fmr mini tour pro.  Was fun playing back a set of tees and having to stay in my game plan. Both were very engaging and encouraging in the round.  A good day in working through and making smarter shot choices. 
    • Day 576 - 2026-04-30 Put my playlist on and slowed down a little as things were meh. Mostly got to an exaggerated P6 and hit from there.
    • I mean, a golfer is trespassing and damaging property. So, golf rules don’t supersede state laws. 😉 Like, if it isn’t marked and is off golf property. The right thing to do is take an unplayable lie or take stroke and distance.  Also, this is a liability for the course. The homeowner could easily say the course is liable for damage done because they knowingly didn't mark their boundaries which allowed golfers to trespass and damage property. 
    • Interestingly enough, if the course (the Committee in Rules terms) doesn't mark the boundaries, there is nothing out of bounds.  I realize that neighboring homeowners would take a dim view of golfers whacking balls from their backyards, but that's what the Definition of Out of Bounds requires. "All areas outside the boundary edge of the course as defined by the Committee."
