39 for 9 on Sunday. 2 birdies and one blow-up hole (quadruple bogey on a long par 3 because I hit two in tall grass which I couldn't find). Everything was great except for that hole.

I need to avoid these blow-up holes.

I shot a 90 today! I know that's not big news for a lot of folks, but for me it's golden. I have shot a 78 and 83 before, but I almost discount those because the course I shot them on was kind of a joke and maybe only 5,000 yards.... maybe. But, for a guy who's only been playing for a year I'm pretty stoked to shoot a 90 on a local muni. My favorite stat of the day was my 1.6 putts per hole. 28 putts, 14 on the front where I shot a 42 and 14 on the back and that included a chip in.

73 with three 3 putts. Greens have just been aerated and the lag putts were hard to judge. Still should have made them. I had a chance to shoot under par for the first time and just let it slip away. Well maybe next time.

Last week shot a 82 at a fairly short course, around 6300 from the blue tee's. Today I played at a different one, around 6600 yards, shot a 80 with a 44 on the front and a 36 on the back. It was my first round with my new fairway woods and irons.

My swing felt awkward and my shots looked like crap for most part. Burned edges of the cup on 8 holes!!!

It was one of those days where my swing sucked but I scored well enough to shoot 84 (with two Triple bogeys!!!). Damn, I really need to eliminate these blow-up holes! It's not like I try any heroic recovery shots, it's just that I hit bad shot after bad shot...

Shot 78 (+6) from the blues at a local muni (6900 yds-my longest course to date), 71.5 rating/130 slope. Had 3 birdies, including one on the 474 yd par 4 18th that stands as probably my best hole to date.

Shot a 39 for 9 holes. Pretty happy considering that it was raining the whole time and windy. Only had 12 putts. Also had 2 sand saves, which was a pleasant surprise.

Shot a ~40 on a 9 hole course. The course had large puddles on most holes, being that it rained for 5 days straight here. I was getting fed up with not golfing.

I played 9 holes in the pouring rain this morning and shot horribly...remind me to never play in the rain again. I stopped keeping score after 5 holes, but I'm sure I was in the 50's or 60's.
Last 5 Rounds: 103 (+38), 124 (+42), 101 (+36), 104 (+39), 109 (+44)

Shot a 37(+1) for 9 holes today. Played well, barely missed a couple of birdie putts that could have made the round even better. Putter is on fire lately!!!

    • 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.
