Sorry I wasn't able to post a video today. The course was closed for Christmas... I hopped the fence, but didn't have my phone. Will post tomorrow, promise. I'm waking up at 5am to play a round, and practice all day.

EDIT: Didn't know this post would make a new page. Just go to page 7 to go to the update for today.

If your journal is an example of how focused you are on achieving your goals, you need some additional work.  You stranded us on "Day 23" after hopscotching around for the first several weeks.

In @Kelzzy 's  defense, he was placed in timeout for awhile for posts unrelated to this one and would have been unable to continue these journal posts during that time.....

I was put in the box for disagreeing with the admins opinion. Anyway, every day I'm getting better. Shot a 74 the other day, not one gimmie. Hit my 3-wood 290 or more, nearly drove the green on the fourth. Shot a +1 through four holes. made a 50 footer for birdie on the 8th hole up hill all the way for the second, and last, birdie of the day.

74 round:

26 putts

FiR: 11/14

GiR: 9/18

3 putts: 0

Every day I get better. Ball flight is better, everything is getting better. My goal is no longer to shoot in the 70's, but shoot low 60's. idgaf what you guys say anymore, you golfers are pissing me off. Soft, cushioned kids at my country club. I'm not hardcore, nor do I think I am. But damn, nobody knows the definition of hard work these days.

No more journal entries. Just leave you her with this. Done playing games with the admins of this site, big tough admins. Maybe I'll get put back in the box for saying this. No matter, this is my last post.

Cya guys, well I won't, but you'll see me on t.v. in maybe 5, 6 years? Adios. :)

Geez, never saw this coming.

This little dick-wad has been ticking since day one. Arrogant puke gives teens a bad name. If it wasn't for @Pretzel I'd give up on them the minute I knew they're teens but the Pretz has given me hope.

Yours in earnest, Jason.

It was probably a dare from his junior high friends.  See how many fish you can reel in within a given time frame. We'll have to check his tournament scores this year for verification of his great play.

Good riddance!

He'll be back, he isn't banned so I'm sure he'll be trolling again. I won't able to see him though 'cuz I just blocked his sorry ass.

I seem to recall that this young man mentioned somewhere that he hasn't been playing golf very long?

Q-School a few years from now clearly isn't going to know what hit it...

GiR: 9/18

For your sake, I hope you are getting better every day.  If you are hitting 50% GiR and expect to shoot in the low 60s anytime soon, you are either delusional or you had be improving at an abnormal rate.

You can tell a lot about how serious somebody is in reaching a goal by how realistic or practical the goals are.  You are clearly on some, "shoot for the moon, hopefully land on my top bunkbed" type stuff.

I'm no rocket scientist, but assuming this is a par 72 course, you'd have to have 3 penalty strokes to go with 26 putts and 9/18 gir's in order to shoot 74.

How do you arrive at that?  I don't think there is enough information (even assuming par 72) to presume that.  He could have a few duffs from the middle of the fairway, and then still 1-putt for a bogey or something.

~~Shot a 74 the other day, not one gimmie

Okay congratulations

~~Shot a +1 through four holes

Umm not sure why this is more important than shooting +1 through the other 14 holes that you somehow forgot. :whistle:

~~Hit my 3-wood 290 or more

You once again forgot all carry

~~ My goal is no longer to shoot in the 70's, but shoot low 60

By March at the latest would be my guess

~~ idgaf what you guys say anymore, you golfers are pissing me off.

HUH???? :hmm:

~~nobody knows the definition of hard work these days.

Those 7 day 12 hour shifts I work are nothing I know, thank you for clearing that up.

~~No more journal entries

:dance:

~~this is my last post

:-X . Right.

I'm going to miss this kid, but he seems to be off to a good start.

The way he's going he should be in contention for the top 10 at the CIF championships. Hope the rest of his team is as good, so he can make it there.

BTW, those are long hours, Flopster, do you own a business?

    • The term I hear most often is "double teeing" which means the course/club has starting times from both the #1 and #10 tee.  I have encountered this many times and we know if we are the first group off #10, we may well get to #1 and have to wait because there are groups still with tee times yet to tee of #1.  In most instances, where the course/club has a starter, he normally explains this situation.  In this case, the pro advised what you would could/would encounter making the turn to #1.  And, that is exactly what happened.  Probably would have been wise to talk to the pro after playing back 9 and ask when you could go off #1 since apparently that club does not double tee.   Regardless, the outburst towards the other group was uncalled for.  And, I don't blame the member for being upset.  As a member of a private club, you are responsible for the actions of your guest.  I have played many times as a guest in the UK and I am pretty damn sure my host was responsible for my actions while at the club.  I know at the clubs I have belonged to here in the US, that is the way it is.  As a matter of fact, the member may find himself being brought before management and facing possible suspension.  So, I don't blame him for being upset.  However, as the host, he really should have stepped up and put a stop to the OP's actions.  OP makes this statement "I now understand that standards are different on the "private course." But I'll take those lessons to the muni, too."  No, the standards are not different.  You, sir, seem to be just a bit hard headed and belligerent, even if you are college professor...which possibly explains a lot.   JMHO
    • Day 32: worked for about 10 minutes on my drill. Filmed it as well for a check in. I think it’s slightly better but still seeing some issues. 
    • Day 44 (26 Dec 25)  -  played in the Friday men’s shootout with a twist - used the Toney Penna persimmons and MacGregor blades - had a blast playing these clubs.  They really help in zoning in on making solid ball contact.  Scoring was solid - had several looks at birdie and had a few par saves.  Overall a day of focused course management. 
    • Day 2: 2025.12.27 Eighteen holes at Kauri Cliffs. Focusing on trying to keep flex in right leg during backswing.
    • Day 136 12-26 Had a different practice planned today but life happened. Worked on "wide to wide" and still working on remaining flowy. Starting the club head in front of the ball as a drill, is helping with the flow of the swing.
