Early candidate for May: IMG_1303.jpeg The 6th hole at our Crooked Oak course is a par 5 with a long skinny green. This picture doesn’t do it justice. There’s a front level of the green, then a hump up and down to a second level, then another hump up and down to a third level with a sharp drop to th...

Not sure what to think of yesterday - 80/8.5 - decent, but really awful for first eight holes. +8 through 8 with a DB and TB, although the TB was set up by an approach that seemed really good until it ended up in an awful lie long. Go figure. From there I was strangely good, even through the last 10...

After posting my personal best just six days ago, I’ve played some pretty horrendous golf since. Off the cliff. Haven’t hit a single satisfactory shot over last three rounds. Just when I had it going on over last three weeks. Damn I hate this game. I say this to ward off your jinx. I had three of m...

Mixed results for the weekend. Friday's practice 9 turned into a legitimate 9 when a buddy joined - didn't really play that badly, but hit a few total stinkers to 42/+6. Saturday finally had a round where I hit the ball really well. Only problem is scoring didn't come with it. 80/+8 really felt like...

WOW!!

Better yesterday but still disappointing in some regards - 82/+10/8.6. This was after another Friday practice session where I was a sizzling +3 only due to a drop off in the end. Really started slow - +5 through five, missed several easy greens and a poor 6i into the drink. After that I played prett...

My poor golf stretch reached a new set of lows this week. Last Saturday shot a pretty crappy 85. My only excuse was that I played tennis the morning, but I was terrible. Played a casual 9 with the wife on Sunday, 47. Trying to fix things, I played three practice nines after work this week - 39, 40, ...

I must say that in the midst of some of my very worst golf, this past week I twice backed a ball up with my new wedges. I mean really zipped back like the pros. Wasn't the slightest bit wet which is usually when I can back a ball up. Now to figure out how to back it up when I want to.

Interesting circumstance today - I get my clubs regrouped once a year, usually around now. Probably could use a second gripping but by that time it's almost winter and I take golf less seriously. At the same time, I also change out my two wedges every year - I bought them on when titleist switched m...

Very Bold Coloring - I like it!
