It’s been about two weeks since my last post, but a lot has been going on. For starters, I was part of the 1st place team at a scramble tournament. We finished with a 12-under 60, which included 2 eagles, 7 birdies, and 9 pars. We did pretty well considering we had myself (5 handicap), a 10-handicapper, and [...]

Saturday was a busy golf day. I started the day off with a drive to St. Augustine for a one hour lesson at the Tour Academy, followed by a drive back home, followed by a drive out to Deland to play at Victoria Hills with some friends.
The lesson was awesome, again. After adjusting to a [...]

I had my first private lesson this past Friday. We focused on my swing since my accuracy for approach shots has been pretty poor (as is evident by my less than 40% GIR rate).
We started on the range for a few shots before heading into the bay for video analysis. I think video analysis is [...]

Last weekend I played 18 holes and noticed something started to seem a little off with my “new” swing. Until this particular round, most of my shots were feeling pure with good compression on the ball, but on this particular day I was hitting a lot of thin shots and rarely on target. Thinking it [...]

I haven’t been keeping up with the blog very well the last two weeks, but that’s probably because I’ve been busy golfing!
Last post I recapped last week and how I finished off Sunday with a 78 (+6) round of golf. Well, I did better this week. You can see my scorecards on oobgolf:
Tuesday, Indigo Lakes: [...]

During my last round my caddie took a few snapshots of my swing. One of the pictures reminded me of a similar shot of Tiger on Golf.com. The timing of the swings is pretty close – close enough for comparison.
So I took my picture and put it next to Tiger:
The angle from the camera is [...]

I played a full round at Turnbull Bay today. My round started as Cink and Watson went into a playoff at the Open – the two guys I was pulling for ended up battling for the win. Great story.
Anyway, overall, I’m not happy with the results, but throughout the round I had moments of excellent play, which [...]

That was a humbling experience. LPGA International beat me up pretty bad. I scored a 98. The worst round I’ve had since May, before I started playing better.
My stats were pretty rough, but I didn’t get the scorecard so off memory I hit 3 greens in regulation, which translated into my three pars for the [...]

Even though I’m not feeling 100%, I needed to get out of the house and went to the range and putting green for some practice, especially since the rain let up.
The practice session overall went well, although I struggled a bit with my long irons and it took a while to straighten out my driver. [...]
