+8 43, played pretty bad. Only hit 1 green. Couldn't find any feel for anything in the swing.

Had 6 irons shots that were thinned or fat, just no consistency at all. It might be time to put the clubs away from playing golf and just start going back to working on the 5 keys.

78 from the tips and it was cart path only, no roll whatsoever so a lot of long irons.I actually was very pleased with how I struck the ball, esp with my long irons but I putted like a blind man missing everything but 1 5 foot birdie on the last.  Must've missed 6 putts < 10 feet and 3 <  5 feet

I was only able to finish 6 holes cause of night time, but I was +3 after the 6. My best guess is the remaining three would have gone another +2. +1 if I was lucky.

78.  First time under 80 this month.  :)

Memorable because I had a stretch of four holes where every shot came off almost exactly as I wanted.  Felt great!

...Then I played +4 for the final three holes. :(

78 played 20 holes in 3 hrs walking n jogging. Kept me from focusing on all those little things like the swing and more focused on target. This what last hole looked like at end

I got nine in late yesterday. 41. Mixed bag. I hit some great shots and parred all the holes I hit in reg, but couldn't buy a birdie and didn't have any up-and-downs.

Played yesterday. Driver pretty good after a couple of off rounds with it. But the irons were only so-so and did not help  me out at all. Putting was also off. Overall, as the season winds down, I am pleased with where I am at after a three year layoff from golf. I am essentially back where I was when I stopped. Now, to work on the swing and get ready to shoot in the 70's next year! Thinking of going Stack and Tilt next year to help get to the next level.

Eighty fricking three.  20-30 mph winds gusting with rain and no roll whatsoever due to rain past few days.  Played from tips and waited 15 minutes for each shot. Not a fun round

I decided to skip golf this morning.......slept in, and then took my 11yr old son bowling from 12:15pm-3:15pm....We each bowled 12 games.  This was my best game today...

 photo 3d315aa6-f1d7-477a-acef-06456b50517c_zpsd8d10b5f.jpg

Not too shabby.....

I decide to play golf afterwards...I didn't get to the course until about 4:15pm....I figured I could play 9 with no problem because it gets dark at 6:45.  I played the front twice....I paired up with another single both times...we each had our own cart and hauled azzzzzz......and I played 18!  Gotta love it!!

Stone Canyon: Playing the front twice=72.4CR 144slope

41-37=78

Today was a success......I bowled some nice games, played decent golf, and the buckeyes won their 19th game in a row!!   I DVR'd the buckeye game and watched it after playing golf ;-)

PS...my son is actually a pretty good bowler for an 11yr old....the above game was his 2nd worst game of the day!!   he averages 170s-180s.

The little guy took me to the woodshed in this game last week.....LOL

37 on a par 36. Casual 9 holes with my wife (then she said she was tired).

Sort of a weird nine holes because I was pulling my approach shots slightly left of the greens (except one that missed 40 yards left from 125 yards...Ouch!). Hit the driver and woods just fine. Missed every green but one and left a pretty easy birdie putt an inch short on that one. Made some good par putts though with the longest about 12 feet on the green I missed by the ridiculous 40 yards.

I wanted to work on my winter time chipping techniques and at least I got a lot of practice by missing that many greens. :-D

48 over 9 holes, playing by myself on an empty course (thanks to the Patriots game I was following on my phone).

Carded my first ever eagle after holing a 30 yard pitch! That was a lot of fun, and definitely the highlight of the day. The 48 goes to show how poorly played the other holes were.

My driver was under control today, which has been a big problem for me. Only one slice, and I know exactly why. My hybrids were slicing everywhere, though.

Today was one of those days that make you question if you should bother playing anymore. Last Thursday I went +3 over six holes (it got dark). Today o got to play the whole 18, and shot a 55 on the first 9, and 51 on the second nine. I just couldn't swing the club today to save my life! I'd duck hook one, then slice the next one, then a pull, then a push.... I was chunking them fat so bad I thought I was going to strike oil. I shot a bloody 10 on a par five that I was inches from birdieing the other day.

    • Day 14, April 22.  This morning, before going to work, I took the time to hit two dozen balls (indoors, off the mat, into the net), all with a 6-iron.  As before, this was focused on the pelvis separation and the length of the backswing -- yesterday's video view was encouraging that I'm making progress.  
    • Hey folks, Here's be a better video that outlines some of my challenges.  Any suggestiosn welcome.    
    • I enjoyed the distance wedges episode. It's something that I've not really taken the time to figure out for sure, but I went to a local trackman place over the winter and tested my four wedges (PW, AW, 54, 58) and got four yardages with each one. I am using Dan Grieve's method - you have a 1, 2, 3, and "full". The number references the number of clubhead widths between your heels.  I never really got to grips with the clock method - I'd find my 9:00 one day would go 40 yards and the next day 60 yards purely based on how fast I happened to swing it, but I couldn't turn that off and I was basically at sea with the speed method (Wesley Bryan does this - he takes almost a full swing for a 15 yard chip). The Grieve method I set my stance width and that really limits how much my swing moves back and forth and the speed seems to be naturally more consistent.  Anyway, I wound up with four yardages for each club - PW 48, 80, 112, 127; AW 41, 73, 101, 112; 54 36, 57, 91, 98; 58 28, 47, 81, 86 So, in order, I have 28, 36, 41, 47, 48, 57, 73, 80, 81, 86, 91, 98, 101, 112, 112, 127 which gives me a pretty good set of numbers. I do have a big gap from 57 to 73, but I can do a 2.5 58, which is giving me about 64. Then as they noted you can give it a bit more, or grip down on a club too to adjust a little bit. It's really useful and very freeing to just know what to do. When you have a 54 yard pitch, rather than pulling my 58 and thinking how hard is 54, I can just take my 54, do a "2" swing and just grip down a little and I'm in decent shape.  Incidentally, Erik talked a bit about watching Scheffler picking off his yardages to within a yard. I've watched DJ do that too with his wedges. Scottie does it trying to hit it all the way up to like 200 exactly with a 6-iron and he's hitting it 200.5, 199.7, etc. Absolutely mind blowing how good his distance control is. Insane.
