Mental Game Improvements
Practice and play over the last week has been very different. For the first time since I started this journey, I’ve thought little about mechanics while at the practice area or on the course. My attention has mostly been focused … Continue reading
Inner Game of Golf
In an attempt to (re)learn the mental approach to golf, I recently read and completed the book The Inner Game of Golf. While there is a lot to the book, the one theme that’s stuck with me after reading is … Continue reading
Reworking the Swing, Mind, and Body
My swing mechanics are feeling great right now. While not perfect, my arms and body are more connected, my tempo is good, and I’ve finally stopped manipulating the club head on the backswing. The consistency is improving. I’ve also restarted … Continue reading
TPC Sawgrass Day 2
Day 2 was an early-morning start at the Stadium course. I’m not going to go into a lot of detail right now, but suffice to say that my game was not on this weekend. Nowhere close. I don’t know exactly … Continue reading
Tough Day – TPC Sawgrass Day 1

Last Friday I played Dye’s Valley at TPC Sawgrass. It’s definitely easier than Stadium in that it’s more forgiving, but the course is no pushover. I ended up with a +7 for the day, which is okay considering how poorly … Continue reading
TPC Sawgrass
This past weekend I went to TPC Sawgrass to play on the Stadium course for the first time. Unfortunately, the course was in pretty rough shape from the recent aerification, but I was okay with that since I mainly went to learn more about the course layout in preparation for my upcoming tournament there and at the Valley course, also at TPC Sawgrass.
