Yesterday from 70 yards out on the par 5 7th I took out my lob wedge and knocked the ball straight into the hole! No bounce, no marks on the edge of the cup, just straight up and straight down in for eagle. Yippee!

Wow. You da man. Why mess with bounce and roll when you can just flat out knock it in!

Great shot man! That is definitely something to be happy about. That always keeps ya coming back for more.

I was playing a par 4 at a course in Chickasha, OK about 4 years back. I hit my tee shot so far right it was in the other hole's fairway. I just took a 3 iron and hit it under some trees back onto my fairway about 60 or 70 yards from the hole. I then proceeded to hit a wedge from there and it went in. It did land before the hole and roll in, but I'll take it any way I can get it. That round was one of my two 79's I have shot in my career.

I also hit a tee shot onto a par 4 green agout 2 foot from the pin and eagled that hole. That was on the same course, but I was scrambling when I did this. My partners were in the fairway already, so I just bombed away. It was a great shot, but the pressure wasn't there like the other.

That's funny. I holed one from 70 yards today too. Mine made a horrid "clank" sound right as it went in the jar and there's a big yellow scuff right above "MAXFLI" on one side. Last hole - last shot - of the day.

Last Thursday, I hit a wedge from 40 yards, it took a little bounce and roll. Then dropped into the cup. I'll take those birdies any day!

But I paid for it last night. 90 yards out and one small over hanging limb. The ball landed 30 yards behind me, and behind a row of the only evergreen trees on the course. I ended up with a 9 on that par 5. Did I mention that I hate trees?

      Terry - what a story…I’m about 12 yrs your junior but I do have friends in similar places of life. Like others have said - “go for it”.  The fact that you’re willing to challenge yourself in the midst of dealing with something like Parkinson’s is hero level stuff….looking forward to seeing how this great adventure plays out and make sure to get some of it on video as well.  Make them memories dude!

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Played nine today. Just went out trying to make a swing that had the feels of what I am working on. I would give it a C- at best. The best swing came on the 9th hole, 220 yard par 3, downwind. I finally made a swing where I felt the pause, and the arms down stuff like I practice. I hit the 4 iron about 215 yards, it rolled just off the back of the green about 20-Ft from the pin.  I might play 10 yards shorter on every iron shot, and make that pause swing, cause I can still hit it about 90-95% the distance.  Distance wedges or 3/4 wedges are going to different. Shanked two of them today trying the pause, arms down stuff. Might spend a bit of time looking at the video on those shots specifically.

      Day 350: good practice session today. Hit about 25 balls, working slowly on my priority piece. It looks decent in slow motion. Better at full speed but not quite there. Then putted for about an hour. Focused on putts inside 10’ but also did a stack putting session.

      Two of my golfing Buddie's are left handed. I will play a couple of rounds and use their clubs and see how I do.  Played last Thursday and had the worst game ever. (Playing in really strong winds. (SW @ 20 to 30 mph with > gusts.)  Will let everyone know when I get back out. May not play until Monday.   Thanks everyone, for your encouragement.    Terry
