My first round in 2 years was on June 24 while on vacation and I shoot 79. Get back home 10 days later and shot 81. It's good to be back playing again.

After beeing more or less idle for the last four years (think I've had about 2x18 in that period) I've finally gotten around to some poor attempts at golf again. My first round was a 112.

Enjoyed it a lot and my goal for the season is getting below 20.

85 on a course rated 72.5/139 (6831 Yd). That is about 10 over for the course handicap. Had 4 birdies, with a couple of eagle putts just lipping out. But also had 4 penalty strokes due to lousy swing & bad bounce--the worst combination one can have on a golf course.

Struck the ball pretty decently. Overall, I would say a pretty good round. Especially hitting the green on two on the 18th (542 yd par 5) with all the grounds keeper watching and waiting for us to hit on. Just lipped out the eagle putt and had to settle for a birdie

I played 18 holes this past Friday, Saturday, and Sunday; nine holes on Monday. I didn't keep score but did a good job of hacking up the course. I get off the tee very well, short game and is ok, but my mid-irons and fairway wood is terrible.

Played the front 9 at Arizona National from the blues (very nice course). Wasn't feeling so hot (which is why I left after 9 holes), but course was gorgeous and the greens were smooth. I shot 6 over, with 2 doubles and 2 birdies thrown in. My ballstriking has been terribly inconisistent since I got sick a few weeks ago, and it's the number one thing I need to work on now. Driving strait and accurate off the tee, and then I hit nice, clean, clever pitch and chip shots near the green. It's the second and third shots from the fairway that are wrecking me lately, and it's the biggest problem I've had in a while. I feel like I'm swaying and taking my head out early-either way the dreaded skull/blade shot or aggressive wormburner have found their way back into my arsenal on occassion, and I want them gone.

41 last night. Easily left 4 or 5 strokes on the course, but won the match even though I was giving my opponent 9 strokes.

    • Day 2: August 12.  I did 25 balls of the ruler drill from LSW for putting.  24 of the 25 stayed on the ruler through 36" but some were smoother than others.  I suspect if the ruler (and goal) had been 48" far fewer would have stayed on.  I'm trying to go by sound, and not look, since when I attempt short putts, I don't want to look (although now I wonder if that's conventional wisdom that turns out to be wrong). 
    • Day 17: did mirror work while watching TV. Working on wrist feels. 
    • Day 315 - 2025-08-12 Got a little work in before Juniors showed up for one of their Summer Sessions.
    • I always knew it as high but never that distance was 90-95% of rating! That has always played to my advantage. I never have but I could totally vanity cap myself by playing **super** long courses that are otherwise super easy. There was one course like that in LA that I used to play that helped my cap like that. The back tees were close to 7k yards, but otherwise the course was incredibly easy. Wide open, misses almost always had a play at the green from the adjacent hole, flat greens, not challenging green complexes, etc. But it got a high rating because it was so long. So I could swing hard, spray and pray, and score well (relative to my handicap).
    • Do need a special ferrul. Thanx 😉
