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!

I never posted last weekend as it was too ugly - 85/87. The only positive was that the 85 didn't have a DB, which made it my highest round since I moved without a DB by six strokes. Ugly. Today, with low expectations, I was greeted at the range by +20 mph winds. Somehow muddled through even about ha...

I hammered a 5w. Flight was right on target. Ended up on apron pin high 25’. Decided to putt as anything can go wrong chipping. Uphill left to right. Figured easy birdie. I hit it. The pace and line were good. As it climbed to the peak it turned right and died in the cup. Best 3 shots I’ve put toge...

It was nice to see a field worth watching. Really don't pay attention like I used to. Too many tournaments without any top players.

84, which was borderline to be called mediocre. Tough conditions as it was super windy, maybe about as windy as I’ve played in here. Two of my best struck irons missed as you saw the ball change direction in midair. Three miserable stats stand out: 1. 4 DB’s - one bad drive, two bad sand shots (out ...

Another half full / half empty. 78 from same tees - if you had told me 78 pre-round I would have been thrilled. Instead, mixed emotions as I was +1 for 11 holes. Absolutely great golf for first 11 - only two bogeys were an mis club and a 9i that went further than expected on an absolutely solid hit....

One of those days trying to decide if the glass was half full or half empty. Rained hard last night so I played up a tee. Three penalty strokes - ugly, and three irons which were too well struck - went long when I didn't I enough club to reach the hole - still hit my target score of 80. So was a goo...
