Day 36 (6 Jun 24) - Played 9 holes with my good friend’s father-in-law.  Was a solid round across the bag - solid for me with 2 pars, 6 bogies and 1 dbl.  Focused on making solid shots and not taking silly risks…

Day 1 - Worked on set up and lower body movement at the gym between sets in the mirror. Used a 6 iron but did not hit. These changes came from my GEARS work with Erik in Erie.

Worked after several lessons and while listening to some podcasts. Twist it up, throw it behind, and added a little bit of the old push back with the left leg stuff from 2020.

Day 153 - Played in a scramble today, which was nice. It gave me a break from my terrible iron play, although I did hit a few great approach shots.

      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
