Just got back from playing 18 at the local par 72 muni today and had to share.  I was so excited when I got home and looked at my scorecard and it added up to 69!  I knew I was playing well, made 4 birdies, but I didn't even notice I only made one bogey.  First time I've been under 70 and only the second time I've broken par (which happened 2 years ago just from a good ball striking day).  Today, I was just playing good golf, smart moves, never doing anything irrational, and just playing by instinct.  I did make some amazing saves today from under, around, and over trees today.  My partners said they were amazing, never got to see any of them.  I got to 2 par 5's today in 2 after dunking it into the trees and escaping with some crazy 4 iron shots, threading it through these little slivers of light.  My tee game was not as good as it usually is, but my approaches and putting speed were on.  I got away with every crazy escape I tried today and turned out great.  Maybe Seve was watching.

Imagine a NY muni being on par with TPC Sawgrass.  Now for that I woudn't mind making the drive out on the Pike a few times per month.

    • I haven’t really filmed in a while. Starting to feel like my body is close to being at full strength again, but I am also 65! I played a few round and my distance is down as expected. Here are a 6 iron and driver swing. My grip is a bit weak in these so I’ve focused on that the last few days. I went over my Erie notes. I’m trying to swing down from the top and not out. I want my weight to start shifting forward at about P3. And I want to push my left hip back in the downswing, which I was not successful in these swings. Ball flight has been pushes or pull draws with the irons and fades with the driver. Looking at these swings I can see why. I just need to change the picture.   
    • I flipped the video above but here it is again so you see the flipped version, too.
    • Things can go awry quickly on that hole. 
    • I have played that course a lot. Mostly scrambles/outings. I enjoyed the read and could picture each hole and got nervous thinking about number 5. That hole is scary. 200 yard layup off the tee?
    • Even though you didn't score well, take solice in the fact you hit the longest drive of the year! 😏 I enjoy following your rounds and can imagine the scenario.   Thanks for sharing
