Hit sim today. Shot a 46 on the front 9 of RTJ's Grand National. Kept the driver in play and hit some 250 and a 265 and 276, hit the rest around 220ish. Mostly moderate pushes.

Irons were a mish-mash of ballflights but most everything was playable which is nice. If I had the space I would seriously consider getting an opti-shot and a big ass projector.

In six days I'll be in the Dominican Republic.

Yours in earnest, Jason.

46 and sunny this afternoon. 50* is usually my cut off, but desperation is setting in. Haven't played since... September?

Darn it. I saw 47 for this afternoon. I want my degree back.

As long as nothing heinous happens in the next three hours, I'm going. Probably to Community.

We're done here for a while. Warmest day in the forecast for a week is 34, coldest is 3 with a low of -9. The snow on my driveway was 8-10" deep this AM. Going to take a while for courses to clear that in the low temps. I got in one last round for 2014 Xmas eve. Sucks because I finally have a few days off and I can't get out.

It's been pretty mild here in OH, but my schedule has not cooperated. We came out to Young's Jersey Dairy for dinner since they have a driving range with covered and heated tees. Unfortunately they are closed. =\

Walked 18. Pedometer says I did 6.6 miles. Feel good about that after the big Christmas festing yesterday.  This is northern Illinous, and it started chilly in the lower 40's bit warmed up to 50F with the sun out.

44°F today, so had to drive an hour south & played a new course to me ... High Bridge in NJ - pretty tough links style course with lots of blind tee shots.    Aside from the flamboyant mediocrity displayed on the course, lets just say it was golf in December, can't complain.

Mid forties. Didn't have time to play so I hit a bucket. Nice to hit off of grass again. Worked on squashing the ball with the left foot.

Played Architects. Saturday- 48 deg. ... Last day of decent weather for the foreseeable future. Shot 43 on front, didn't finish. Played with a 16 year old kid and his dad - 5 hcp ... Really impressive - plays competitive golf all over the state - best swing I've ever seen - picture perfect - just fun to watch! His ball striking had that ball first crack that I just can't seem to get - impressive

Hit 55 here yesterday and shot 89. Wife hates me again so I went and played today when it was a high of 38 and shot two better. :(

      I have won the net division of the 2024 William Anderson Match Play Championships at Neshanic Valley Golf Course.

      I won the net division of the match play tournament. Yesterday was the semifinals and my opponent conceded the round to me on the 2nd hole because he knew he would be unavailable for the final today. I got lucky there and got a bye into the finals. We did end up playing our match as an exhibition and I would have lost. It was the worst round of the tournament for me and I think knowing that the match didn't matter might have been a factor. I'll write up a blog post about the whole experience at some point. Today I won, 3&1. My opponent and I halved the first three holes much to his credit. I was striping it and he just kept scrambling and hanging in there. We both blew up on the par 3 4th hole but I ended up taking that one by holing an 8-footer for double bogey. I went up 2 after he put two in the penalty area on #5 and promptly gave that hole back by putting my tee shot into the penalty area on #6 by a foot. It's important to note that most of the penalty areas on this course are deemed environmentally sensitive areas and we are not allowed to enter or play shots out of them. So even though I physically was able to play a shot from where I was on #6, I could not, by rule. I followed that by winning #7, making a 25' birdie putt and finished the front 9 3 up after he had some bunker trouble on #9. I went up 4 by winning #11 (we both sucked on that hole but he missed the putt to halve). On #12 we both hit the green with our tee shots. He hit his first putt past the hole and I lagged mine inside of 4' with an uphill putt for par. His putt for par was too long again, just inside of mine but definitely outside of gimme range. I gave him that one for bogey. I felt at the time, being 4 up, that I didn't want to win the hole because he ends up missing a 3-footer and fourputted or something. I wanted to win the hole by making my par putt. I did not. He probably would have made the putt anyway (he's not me after all, and he made everything in that range all day) but it seemed like the sporting thing to do at the time. He was genuinely surprised I gave it to him, butI felt good about it. Then it almost bit me in the ass as he started to mount a comeback. We halved #13 after he made a great up & down and he took #14 with a long par putt. He also won #15 with a 5' birdie putt. We halved #16 with a pair of bogeys after he put his tee shot in the water and I missed a 4-footer for the win. We got to #17 and I was still 2 up. He hit his tee shot just off the back of the green to an extended apron area short of the back bunker and I put mine on the green pin high but 30' away. He was actually closer so I played first and hit it within a foot for par. He didn't hole out for birdie which sealed the match and ended up making bogey on the hole. With the pressure off, we both played the par 5 #18 well. He played it as a three shot hole like a normal person and hit it to 8' and two-putted for par. I striped my drive and ended up with a downhill lie to an uphill approach like 180 yards out and gave myself the green light to go for it in two. Thin hooked it into thick rough to the left of the green with a bunker in between and hit a high flop to 4', probably my best shot of the day. Made the birdie putt.
