Woke up early today to beat the heat and shot a 78 (+7). Nothing too exciting about today's round. 11 Pars and 6 Bogies.

36 Putts. (1 three putt hole and only one 1 putt hole.) I hit 11/18 greens but left myself with some lengthy birdie putts which I just couldn't make if my life depended on it.

The course I played was 6,597 yards from Gold Tees.

I've played the front 9 3 times in the last 12 days. 49, & 2 45's. par35. The 49 had a pair of real good blowups on the first 3 holes.

The 45's were just me bogeying most everything. Either a tee shot was off, or an approach or a wedge, or a putt. But i seem to be able to add 1 extra stroke to every hole i play lately.

Oh well. At least i get to play some. & it was nice out all 3 days.

Shot a 39 yesterday on 9 holes. Par was 35 so I was 4 over from the blue tees

Really thought I played well... Had 0 double bogeys and no hazard shots

Shot a 1 Under 34 today and im pysched... My day has been magical since my round...


Now to the course. It is a par 35 and is a shorter course. 1 Par 5, 2 Par 3, 6 Par 4. Par 3s and 5 is good distance however every Par 4 on the course is from 300-330 yds so its rather short. However its a nice practice course, is in nice condition and you still have to make your shots.

bshack, great round! Under par is under par no matter the course. Good job.

72 for me today. Played real solid. Was even going into my last hole, had 207 in a back pin on a par 5. Striped a beautiful looking 5 iron, thought it was perfect but it rolled just off the back of the green. Chipped on and missed a six footer for a 71. Was ok though, good fun round today.

This past Saturday I shot 83 (+11). I was 7 over after 15 but bogied out. I pulled a stupid 3' putt on 15 for par and didn't care after that. I was pleased with this round beacuse only two weeks earlier I thought about quiting golf and I do not play this course but maybe twice a year. The two weeks earlier I was refering to is I was playing in the state high school championship. Let's just say our team didn't do to well but the course... Well I have never played on greens that fast and we played from the black tees(which shouldn't have mattered that much). The first day I shoot 91, not happy but I was understanding due to the conditions. The second day I shot the worst I did all year with a 106! I was not confident with any club in my bag and sliced and chunked most oft shots. I had 3 snowmen(shot an 8 on par 4s). After a while I couldn't wait to leave.

Shot a 73 (+2) yesterday (tues). Great round, never a double bogey. Still couldn't make any putts. 13 GIR, 2 chances for an eagle, but turned out birdies, can't get the ball in the hole!!! Drove a par 4, 275 yards around a dogleg. Hit a nice driver fade (risky shot for me, can never get it to go right), did a little chandelle, and bang, hit pin high to the right, curled in behind the pin about 20 ft, just to miss the putt. Also hit a par 5 in 2, dogleg left, 4 wood to 180 downhill to an elevated green. Had to shorten up a hybrid (225 club) and pop it up high just to clear the front lip of the green and it settled about 35 ft for another missed eagle. Greatest round in a long time, recovering from a 3 round slump shooting mid - low 80's

Wanting to make sure yesterday was no fluke went back to the course where I shot 1 under yesterday...

Shot an Even round of 35 today... Pretty happy with my game couldve easily been around 3 or 4 under with 4 or 5 close birdie putts that i left inches short or lipp'd out. With weather and work I wont get back on the course til the weekend :( but will try and hit the range twice

    • Day 105: mirror work today. Focused on not looping my hands at the top of the swing. Straight down. 
    • Still working on the backswing a bit. Hand still gets away from the body, out towards the ball, and at A2 the club wants to roll over and get flat at A3. It's just very difficult to shallow from that position like I want. Which makes my downswing work impossible.  Backswing I have been playing around with the left leg straightening to start the backswing. It's like, a slight shove of the hips right with the left leg. Then just keep the flex in the right knee as I turn into it. I kind of like it. I never had a good swing trigger. It helps keep my left knee extended.  Yea, definitely feeling the hand path is traveling down the feet line, and straight up. A little bit of wrist rotation, and a lot more hinge sooner in the right wrist and elbow. I am trying to get the feeling that the arm hinging up then is the cause for the right shoulder to retract to finish the backswing. Club feels much more vertical at A3. I am trying to have my wrist fully hinged by then.  Feel the club and arms stop at A3.5 (my A4). If my arm collapses late, then I turn into that and I am pretty much screwed. The club and arms kind of have a floaty feeling, where they are just suspended in air for a bit, then drop.  Downswing I have been trying to think of a good visual for this mentally. I like the idea of my hands taking a wide arc to my right pocket, or I am taking the back of the hosel and trying to hit the ground behind my right foot.    Left knee stuff, just sooner. 
    • Day 78 - 2026-03-10 Backswing work at the net with foam balls, a few real ball swings.
    • Day 525 - 2026-03-10 Got some work in before lessons today (was going to play after but it decided to POUR). Then like three minutes in later on.
    • Day 2 (10 Mar 26) - Worked on weight shift feel using slap stick drill (hands about 6” apart - coming back weight on trail foot - down - thru weight on lead foot….moved it to hitting chips w/9i playing what I call “leap frog” - hit 1st about 10yds, the next a couple past the 1st, for about 6 balls total.  Love it as the lies change, the distances vary making each swing slightly different.
