Shot at the local course up here.  Not a bad course, but not fantastic either.  Was pretty happy with my front nine.  I shot a 50 on a par 36 and actually had two par holes.  I even had a birdie putt from 4 feet that I missed and turned it into one of my pars.  I was planning on leaving after 9, but when I came back around (there are only nine holes on the course) a guy at the first tee asked if I wanted to go another round.  So I played another nine and it all went to hell.

I shot 55 through 7 holes, then it got too dark to finish.  Started slicing my drive all over the course, losing balls, etc.  I do think that the second round was probably a better indication of my actual ability right now though.  I got a lot of lucky rolls on my first nine.  Although I didn't have anywhere near as many penalty strokes either.

All in all I was fairly happy with it.  Shot better than I thought I would the first go round and got a chance to play a round with someone I'd never met before who turned out to be a great guy.  I'm sure we'll play quite a few rounds together this year.  That to me was probably worth more than how I shot.

Are you hitting your driver? If so, try clubbing down... there's no rule that says you must hit a driver off the tee. Play the course and hit the clubs you're confident with.

Yeah, I was hitting my driver.  I hit my irons really well and played a decent short game.  I just don't know what happened between round one and round two where I started slicing off the tee.

      Day 47, June 22.  After work today, I spent 20 minutes in my indoor practice room, hitting about as many balls.  Slow, as slow as I could, 6-iron swings, same priority piece as the past month.

      Day 291 6-22 full, faster swings, focusing on low point, missing towel. Recorded some face on and dtl. Practicing full speed changes is something I wasn't doing enough.

      Day 2 (22 Jun 26) - used the clip the tee drill today - focused on picking the tee and then collecting the divot.  Hit a few hard foam balls later in the session.

      Best Shot of the Week

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Club of the week, my hybrid. Stripe show on every shot. This one was probably the best. About 240 to the green. The ball was on a severe upslope. I hit it just off the back of the green (like 1-ft.

      That will sting for a long time. Had all the momentum in the world.  The on course heckling of WC a bit over the top. IMO, that may have even galvanized him. Kinda like RC. He may have picked up some sympathy too. So boo to the boos. I can't stand him (and it's not just the incidences) but I think when punishment outsizes the crime, the tide tend to turn. He has stuck to "I've earned the hatred" narrative. Smart kid.
