What Golf Stuff Did You Do Today?

played 18 terribly. was able to keep perspective and not get too mad. couldn't drive the ball, didn't hit the irons particularly well, and had a wicked case of the yips with the putter.

Played in a scramble with eaglevsfalcon, pokeslice and milehighgolfer. Had a blast!
 
Worked at the range for a few hours, then took my time with a small bucket. Really focused on tempo.
 
Took a tour of a CC I was thinking of joining. Unfortunately a bust, didn't treat you nicely, and looked down at me due to my age. I'll be sticking with my #1 choice

I am going to be the Head Rules official for a Junior Qualifier in a couple weeks and today was the course survey. The Tournament Chair and I went out to have a look at the course to prepare. I have a copy of the pin sheet from the last qualifier 4 years ago and we checked the greens in those locations to make sure they were in good shape. There are a couple of GUR spots to mark but what gets marked depends on the weather over the next two weeks.

I will be on the Committee for the first time and it should be fun for the most part but there is a lot of responsibility that goes with it.
 
Shot leagues tonight, very.......dismal.
 
Played 18 in Wed club today.
 
i had a playing lesson. it wasn't exactly what i expected, but things happen for a reason and i'm glad for today. my last couple rounds have been pretty bad, and some nasty stuff showed up today, which was good because then my instructor could diagnose it for me.

we started on the range, where i was shanking EVERYTHING. that's definitely something that pops up in my game every now and then, and it's terrifying, but i haven't seen that on the course much at all. we put my swing on video, and the old throw-from-the-top is still there and is killing my consistency. so we pretty much focused on that on the range.

then we went to the course, and played 9 holes. he had me hit different shots, and he taught me some new short game shots to try. by the end of the 9 holes, i was mentally tired and frustrated that i was so wrong about the state of my game. i mean, i knew my scores weren't where i wanted them to be, but i didn't realize i was so far off.

we went back to the range to talk through a couple drills to force me to build some lag into the downswing. basically, make the biggest shoulder turn with the shortest arm-swing, then hit the ball as far as possible, forcing me the lag the club to gain more distance. we also had a quick putting lesson for the old "ooooone-two" tempo, and also lengthening the backswing to shorten the follow-through. i then spent another 2 hours going through a whole pyramid of balls on the range with mixed results, until the last 45 minutes when it started clicking.

i'm not sure i'd do a playing lesson again, but i'm glad he saw the worst in my game as it is right now so we can formulate a plan for the rest of the year. the good news he said my good shots look like a scratch golfer, and my bad shots look like a 24 handicap, which is why i'm playing like a 12!!! :)
 
Practice Range for about an hour, playing with the settings on the Alpha 815 14* FW, switched the core on Alpha 815 DBD..we'll see how it all works
 
Hit some balls on the range because a junior (maybe H.S. ...?) tournament had taken over the course....
 
Played 18 this morning in 2 hrs, met up with a buddy for lunch at course. Met Harry Arnett in person and watch/periscoped a chipping match between Johnny Rodriguez and Chris Velardo. Pretty much the most awesome golf day I've had the whole year so far!

Are his glasses as big in person?
 
Got 18 in tonight. My home course doesn't have leagues on Wednesday night so I can see getting a lot of golf in.
 
Played a quick 9 after work. Hit the ball horribly. Complete opposite of last Thursday where I was striking the ball really well. Things got better towards the end of the round. Hope to get another 9 in tomorrow night and keep working on some improvements

Just happen to be in the right place at the right time. Believe me I'm definitely lucky to have have had a day like today. I'm thinking the same will be true when I finally meet JB and GolferGal

Played league shot 45 with a triple on first hole and a birdie on hole 2. Then I proceeded to have 3-3 putts and smoked my 4 iron from 190 out over the green. Other than that I was hitting the ball well and had 6 girs.
 
Hit a few putts on the birdieball. Pretty weak overall. Not recovering from this sickness too well unfortunately.
 
Small bucket at the range. Short irons were struck pleasantly well. Mid irons not so well. Hybrids and woods....holy cow how much worse are things going to get? Lesson time has come again I think.
 
Small bucket at the range. Pretty decent ball striking throughout the bag. Hope it translates well to the course my next time out.

Gotta get that game ready for Iowa good sir!!
 
Full bag fitting at the Nike Performance Center at Swinomish Casino. The CliffNotes version is I am pretty well optimized on most of my clubs, but with driver, I got fitted into a Nike Vapor Pro / Matrix Velox combo that netted me 10+ yards on average with excellent dispersion. More than that on the really well struck balls...I hit one with 160mph of ball speed that carried 270 with just short of 13* of launch. That is HAMMERED for me.
