Almost acquired a new nickname today ... "Van De Velde." Played fantastic for 17 holes and would have probably won easily with a par (turns out I would have won with a double bogey) ... and ma

Wow, I knew it had been awhile since I was practicing and trying to get better regularly, but did not realize it was over 3 years.  Time has been flying.

I'm going to try and start playing a lot more again and practicing regularly as well since the kids don't have a lot of activities these days and I have some free time.

Gotta go find and dust off the tripod too so hopefully I'll have something to post soon.

OK, here we go.  First videos in (apparently, about 3 years).  Took these a couple weeks ago:

These are from a couple of weeks ago and I got some good feedback from Mike on these.  I need to eliminate the excess knee bend and the arms hanging inward at setup, which like everything, is easier said than done.  In the swing, the goal for now is to try and turn the shoulders "back" towards the back leg rather than sort of extend the right side up and forwards (not sure if I explained it right, but I understood it when Mike explained it :))  Anyways, below are from today - my first time out trying these:

Mainly it's just nice to back out and playing more!

I haven't taken any more videos since those last ones, and I haven't been practicing a super ton, however, I have been playing on average about once a week.  I am working on a just a couple of things as I play, basically the same as above as Mike showed me, plus one other thing:

  1. Less knee bend and higher hands at setup
  2. A feeling of going back in the takeaway rather than tilting forward
  3. A longer backswing.  This seems to keep me in sequence better and inhibits my tendency to pull hook the ball, which I am wont to do on occasion. 🙂

Overall, I'm hitting the ball well and scoring well; but I need to temper my excitement on that because I've basically only been playing one course, that is my favorite as far as scoring is concerned.  

Oh, and I bought my first new club in ages last week; a new 60* with more bounce than my current 58* so hopefully I'll have a little more confidence to use it more than the old one.

      Yea Club Rat said it. I really enjoyed the Senator and the Judge, then over to Grand National where there a couple good courses plus a fun par 3. The one I do play whenever I visit there is Ross Bridge; something about this course that is just good fun. I hope to play more of the courses in the future, but tomorrow is promised to no one, so hope is the key word. Have Fun, iSank

      Eh. He broke ONE of Tiger's records. Youngest to be ranked #1 in AJGA. It didn't help that Tiger's birthday is in late December, or that Tiger didn't play many AJGA events before he was 15. Did he do any of these things?

      Day 56: 4/19/2024 Okay, even though I'll be teeing it up in a tournament in less than a week. I couldn't find time to get to the range today.  I spent time on the indoor putting mat.  And I spent time in front of the mirror with my 7 iron. Then again later with the driver.  I also thoroughly cleaned all my clubs.
