Day 43:

Hit 20 balls with 6-iron, working with new feel. Seemed to work okay, but start line is a little more right than I’d like to see.

Hit 15 Almost Golf balls with driver, same feel.

Did pitching.chipping practice, focusing on good contact.

Putted in home office for 20 min using my dog’s Kong as a target.

Day 23:  Hit a couple of buckets at the range.  Not sure why I hit my irons much better at home into the net than at the range and hit my driver better on the range than the course.  Played my second 9 hole round this evening and shaved off 7 strokes from my first game and had fewer do overs.  I even had a one putt if that’s called anything from about 15 feet.  Played the last two holes through the sprinklers but I don’t mind. 

I may not hit the ball far, but at least I find all of the pretty flowers.

Day 152: 5/27/24 Memorial Day

Practiced prior to round today. I have been using Dan Grieve as my guide to short game and had a great warmup holing out chips and bunker shots. On the course made a nifty up and down from a plugged lie in the waste bunker on 3 and a good pitch on 5 helped save par. Then the deluge came.☔️🤦🏻‍♂️

day 74. Slow short swings arching the left wrist. Some good outcomes. Some open face shanks. Some poor strikes. Hopefully the wrist movement was working though.

Day 26 (27 May 24) - Quick pick up nine with son and grandson at Harbour Pointe….switched up the clubs, pulling out the old MacGregor irons and Toney Penna persimmons.  Iron play much more solid than the woods.

      Question About UK vs. U.S. Course Etiquette

      By RickK · Posted

      The term I hear most often is "double teeing" which means the course/club has starting times from both the #1 and #10 tee.  I have encountered this many times and we know if we are the first group off #10, we may well get to #1 and have to wait because there are groups still with tee times yet to tee of #1.  In most instances, where the course/club has a starter, he normally explains this situation.  In this case, the pro advised what you would could/would encounter making the turn to #1.  And, that is exactly what happened.  Probably would have been wise to talk to the pro after playing back 9 and ask when you could go off #1 since apparently that club does not double tee.   Regardless, the outburst towards the other group was uncalled for.  And, I don't blame the member for being upset.  As a member of a private club, you are responsible for the actions of your guest.  I have played many times as a guest in the UK and I am pretty damn sure my host was responsible for my actions while at the club.  I know at the clubs I have belonged to here in the US, that is the way it is.  As a matter of fact, the member may find himself being brought before management and facing possible suspension.  So, I don't blame him for being upset.  However, as the host, he really should have stepped up and put a stop to the OP's actions.  OP makes this statement "I now understand that standards are different on the "private course." But I'll take those lessons to the muni, too."  No, the standards are not different.  You, sir, seem to be just a bit hard headed and belligerent, even if you are college professor...which possibly explains a lot.   JMHO
