I have two scramble tournaments this weekend that I’m looking forward to. They should be a good time.
I had to tone it down on practice this week due to a left rib cage strain. I think the lessons and three rounds of golf this past weekend kind of did me in physically. While it’s fun to [...]

After 6 days without touching a golf club – a long time for me these days – I went to the range, grabbed my 9-iron, and took an awkward-feeling warmup swing.
My body hadn’t felt as loose as it did during that swing in months. The awkward feeling seemed to come more from the fact that I [...]

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: [...]

I can’t say enough good things about the Tour Academy experience I went through Monday through Wednesday of this past week. Attending the academy is the best thing I could have done for my own enjoyment of the game of golf, and I’d recommend it to anyone looking to get more enjoyment out of the [...]

Since it’s been raining every afternoon, I’ve been practicing my putting indoors. That’s not really an issue as long as I remember to grab my putter whenever I go play a round.
Well yesterday I forgot to do that, and I played a round without my putter. I was able to use my playing partner’s putter, [...]

Quick update. Yesterday I went through a quick practice (2 hours is considered quick) of chipping, pitching, putting, and finally the range.
Overall a good practice, but by the time I got to the range I was having a hard time with my swing’s timing. I’ve learned that my timing is off when my shot control starts [...]

Tonight I went to the driving range to get some swing repetitions, but it turned out better than I expected. Much better.
Earlier today I was browsing the forums on oobGolf and came across a short video on curing your slice with the driver. My driver shots lately have either been slices or pushes to the [...]

Tomorrow morning we play at LPGA International, the world headquarters of the LPGA in Daytona Beach. I’ve never played there before, but someone from work has a round discount that a bunch of us are going to use.
I’ve heard only positive things about the course. We’ll be playing the Legends course, which is the more difficult [...]

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. [...]
