Played a relatively difficult course today, Peabody Meadows, in Peabody. I played it last year and it got the best of me to say the least. Not much room off the fairway, lots of blind drives, high rough, quick enough greens, just a good challenge of a course. I played the other day and couldn't hit the ball the first 5 holes and realized I wasn't turning my hips at all, and after that I played the last 13 holes at +2 so I was hoping I would have some of that mojo working with me today. Well, it did. I shot a 79 (par 71). Shot a 37 on the back where my scorecard read 5, then all 4's the rest of the way. My driver was working all day. Everything had a slight fade, 260-275 yards, good stuff. My wedges and lower irons were off a bit which was really strange because those have been great lately. I haven't calculated my GIR and FIR and putts for the round, but my putter was hot. Anything inside 10 feet I was all over. Anything long got close to where I didn't have to even think about the 2nd putt. Very happy overall with the way I played.

Two months ago I read the Stack and Tilt book and incorporated a lot of the movements into my current swing. I try to stay more centered over the ball, keep my movement back to a minimum, take the club away deep and so far it's really helped out my game. 80 last week, 79 this week, things are working well. I've been hitting the ball a lot more consistently since incorporating S&T and I'm really hoping I can put a round together right around par sometime this year. We'll see.

    • I entirely agree with everything you said, but would just note that normal human beings are a lot closer to degenerate and avaricious scum than many of us might be comfortable admitting/might realize.
    • That is a bit hyperbolic, I think. Most despicable is a bit much.  Again, a bit over the top here.  Most athletes are probably closer to being normal human beings than degenerates and avaricious scum.  Just sounds like you want to generalize all athletes because it is easy to do so. Hey, generalizing a subset of a population is entirely a human thing to do. 
    • This is so awesome; my two biggest lifetime hero and the biggest superstars of the past 35 years in golf……both turned out to be the two of the most despicable human beings in professional sports… Between this and everyone whoring themselves out for Saudi Arabia… Used to love golf because I thought they were smarter, better people than the other sports. Turns out a huge percentage of them are total degenerates and avaricious scum like every other sport!
