So I have to tell someone who gets it, because my wife doesn't understand golf. I played in my first multi day tournament over the last two days. It was a four man team total event. I unfortunantely was on a team with two guys who had never been on a golf course before and both of them shot a 140 on both days. That's the max they would give. So ultimately we were dead last. On the bad side of the tournament, on day one I shot a 99, the slow paced play of the other two killed my game. On the upside I was able to play in a different foursome the second day(today) and shot an 85 with three 3 putts on par threes after hitting the green with first shot and 2 doubles on par fours. So the possibility of going into the upper 70's was there. I am excited because my game is finally getting back on track. On the individual side I finished 17th out of over 70 golfers so I felt good about that. Not a bad day at the course and not a bad first tournament, although I'll admit there was not a lot of scratch players. But regardless I felt good walking off the course today. Sorry for the patting my own back post but my wife was looking at me like a monkey doing a math problem.

When its breezy swing easy!!!!!

That's awesome, man! Last week I played in a doubles tournament with the local girl's high school team. Since the ladies outnumbered the men, I was paired with two different girls, forming two teams. Now bear in mind I've worked at this golf course for three years, I've been going there all my life, and my uncle (a PGA teaching pro) owns it.

I came in last. And second to last.

Nice score differential (99 to 85).  In similar tourneys, I tend to play down/up to my playing partners' abilities; inconsistent when there's significant time between shots (tough to get into a groove).

Here's to your wife:

    • Day 23: weird day, and only had a little bit of time. Just did mirror work again, working on where the elbow is in the downswing 
    • I flipped over to this tonight and thoroughly enjoyed it. Anyone else watch? I picked it up during the golf relay event, but seeing these pros out having fun in alternative events was refreshing and entertaining. I’m sure it will be on in reruns in the next week or so, so I won’t spoil the outcome. Im curious what others thought of it. I’m recording it’s later airing to see the beginning. 
    • Day 443 - 2025-12-17 Made a few swings in testing some things out at another academy. Might pop up on someone else's podcast in a few weeks.
    • Day 37 (17 Dec 25) - nine hole round with my good friend.  We got paired up with a couple of the men’s group regulars as part of their shootout.  Started off with a wonderful quad bogie and then a dbl on three to be six over thru three holes.  Game went 180° over the next five as I shot one under (including a chip in birdie on hole six and four up and down 1 putt pars) for a net finish of five over. What could have been a really tough nine became a solid finish due to staying in the moment and not checking out.  Great day in course management and keeping perspective .
    • Day 127 12-17 Backswing and flow practice. Took advantage of the 60 degeee weather(it was 20 degrees Sunday)
