Post your responses here, and PM them to me too.
~ Have ever played in a team event?
Yes, I've been fortunate to participate in some THP events. I was part of #Theking last year representing team Harry! I also play with toss up groups and local team tournaments that are two man and 4 man formats.
~ What makes you an asset to the entire team?
My attitude, perseverance and ability to laugh at myself lol. I always keep things light and fun in a serious way if that makes sense. Not anything that would make u lose focus but just making sure we all have a great time and play our best golf even if we are struggling.
~ What do you look for from a playing partner?
someone who can bounce back from a bad shot with a good attitude. We all have them, even the pros, but it's about keeping the right attitude on the next shot. Oh and if it's captains choice...hit the fairway lol. My driver can be really good or in another fairway lol.
A. What do you have to offer a playing partner?
most of the time I'm very consistent and good with wedges and chipping. When I've played captains choice and alternate shot I've told my partners I had their back if they missed.
~ What was you biggest accomplishment in 2015 with your game.
My game started really strong in 2015 with my irons...then I had an issue with shanks. It took a while but towards the end of the year I was able to come back even stronger and develop a lot more consistency with my irons and wedges. I broke 80 on about 4-5 occasions this year and even went as low as a 76 once this year.
~ What is your biggest strength in the game?
pitching and chipping. And at times the long ball.
A. What do you do to maintain it.
i practice 1-3 times a week on the range during the warmer months after work. And then if it's not too cold I always play Saturday and Sunday's with friends that play with different toss up crowds.
~ What is the biggest weakness in your game?
My tee ball with driver. My driver is what puts me playing defense right away. I've been working on trying to get to a point it doesn't completely take me out of a hole and I think my misses aren't turning out as bad anymore.
A. What is your plan to overcome it
ive been working with a buddy of mine to get the problem sorted out. I swing much more aggressively with my 3 wood and at times hit it farther. So just trying to bring that same attitude and confidence to the driver. He has me switch back and forth, 2 hits with 3 wood, 1 with driver etc. on the range.
B. How will you know you've been successful?
i track my fairways hit on a regular basis and also note whether it was my target/playable.
~ Do you prefer to practice or play
Play
~ What is your handicap index.
Ghin has me at 11.4
~ What is your goal for handicap by Aug 1, 2016?
I'd like to break 10 even if it's 9.9 lol. But a more practical goal is get to 10.
