A friend came down from New York to Evansville, IN for July 4. We ended up playing down at Cambridge. I shot 43, 39 for an 82. It was probably the best round i've played since last summer. On the front, I had a 2-hole stretch where I went double, quad. So, that sucked. Also, I made 3 birdies in 5 holes, but burned edges and lipped-out about 5 more. All in all, very pleased with the way I played.

front 49
back 51

It started rough...10 (water) then an 8 (OB) then 5 pars in a row. On the back I just plain got tired and struggled all the way.

BUT, I am feeling it.

Shot a 51/52. No blow up holes, and that's what my goal for yesterday was. Drives are still slicing when I try to hit it hard, but I got into a relaxed smooth swing pattern. Still cant putt for anything, leaving everything between 6 in and 2 feet short, but that will come with practice.

Played 2 rounds on the 9 Hole - Par 34 Course.

Shot 41, and 43 - 84 from 68.

Double Bogey'd the last hole after hitting my first ball into the Water, managed to get up and down with 3rd from the tee. Best score so far is 40, so If I managed to nail it first time and save Par, I'd have scored 39, but cannot complain too much.

After shooting a horrendous 105 on Monday in a round that I should have taken a rain check on....

Shot a 90. This is a tie for my personal best. I dropped 7 1-putts and had 2 3-putts for a pretty good (really good for me) 31 putts. I also had 2 birdies. Both 3-putts were inexcusable missed tap-ins.

My handicap is teetering on 20. Hopefully it will crack 20 after 1 or two more rounds.

Played the University of Michigan Golf Course for the first time today. A very nice Alister MacKenzie design. Had troubles with the putter. Had one very nice 35 footer from off the green. Finished with 103. Ok for me playing it for the 1st time.

94, but that includes a birdie 3 at hole 8, hcp3.

Since the ball flight I've been working on getting lately has been a draw, I've achieved it at the course as of today. Unfortunately, old habits die hard and for most of the first 5 non-par-3s, I lined up against the left side and drew it. Played out of the left rough most of the front. Played the par-5s horribly too.

45. I was not getting off the tee well, but my short game saved me except for one 3 jab from 6'. DOH!!! On the bright side, my opponent who was giving me a stroke shot 59! I felt bad for him, but not till after we were done.

I shot a 78, today, including one eagle and one birdie. Best ball striking, maybe ever and that's not an exaggeration. Never took out the driver, instead, used three different hybrids off the tee. Best day in a very long time.

I just got back from 18 at a local course. I went 41/41 for an 82 overall. It looks consistent on paper but couldn't be farther from the truth. I had 21 putts on the front 9 and only 14 on the back! I even birdied the 18th with a sweet 115 yard approach shot that left me with an easy tap in.

I ended up hitting 9 GIR's and only 3 fairways. My approach shots were spot on and my wedge game around the green was excellent.

Overall it was a pretty good day, this was the first time out with the MP-67's and man are they sweet. I just have to work on the putting a bit and hopefully I'll be able to reach my goal of breaking 80 by the end of the summer!

Strange round yesterday.

Par 73/ slope 149, I shot 104, 59 front 9 and 46 back 9, but I'm still happy with the round. Reason being I hit it very good once I got my grip in order. I hooked the first 10 or so holes until I found that my club was shut at adress. Once I got it square I started hitting very good. Even a few 4i shots that were a beauty to feel and watch.

A lot of wind, mostly against us, so I struggled with distance control, especially since I'm hitting it high and recently changed my swing so my distances are all messed up. The wind was the biggest culprit. Putting was not so good since this was a course with very fast greens compared to what I normally play on.

Played the back 9 for league last night. Had a decent round going (2 mistakes had me at 2 over through 4) until my tee shot on 14 found a soft area in the right rough and plugged with a nice tuft of grass behind the ball. All I could do is top it as far as possible. Ended up with double bogey there and started to press on the next hole thinking my match was in trouble. Ended up shooting 5 over 41 and won my match 6 1/2 - 3 1/2.

    • Starting over - missed posting yesterday and it had been less than 28 days since last off day….today was tempo drill day.  Worked on takeaway and moving smoothly into weight shift.  
    • I know it is probably dependent on a lot of factors, but how windy does it have to be out before you need to start guessing on how much it would influence the break of your putt?  When I played at Bandon, it was like 25-30 mph winds. The caddies talked about the wind negating break. The only time I had it visually influence my putt was on hole 18 at Bandon Dunes. My missed my putt on the high side of a pretty severe breaking putt. The slope around the hole was in the 2-3 degree range. As the ball was about to come to a stop, the wind gusted and pushed the ball half a rotation into the cup.  The rest of the week I thought it had no influence at all. I was thinking, is it just over thinking to try to account for the wind?   
    • Day 310 - 2025-08-06 Went downtown in the late afternoon and got nearly two hours of work in. Not a ton of breaks. Was blasting the TS at the end, from a HomePod and two TVs. 😄 
    • I watched this video of his last night: I don't hate him like @boogielicious apparently does and thought this was a pretty good premise so I gave it a shot.  Not the worst thing in the world and I especially liked the premise.  He's got a lot of air to fill by himself, which he isn't great at, but in doing so, you get some decent insight into how his brain works while setting up shots/putts.
    • So driver is longer than all the other clubs and gear effect plays a bigger part with driver than anything else. If you're hitting it out of the heel it could slice even if you have the face square. Could try some foot spray or impact tape and check that. Other thing is if the shaft is different in how it flexes or how flexible it is it could be affecting your swing somewhat. Driver also has the straightest face, so while with a 4 iron it might fade, with driver that can wind up being a slice with the same face angle at impact.
