Last TPC Sawgrass Practice Round
Shot a 79 for my last practice round at TPC Sawgrass Stadium before this weekend. Not bad, but it’ll need to be better. I 3-putted on 4 greens, so that’s four strokes right away that should have been saved. Chipping didn’t help … Continue reading
Narrowing In
I feel like I’m starting to narrow in on peak performance after playing 9 holes last night. While I shot 3-over and had some driver issues – no surprise there – I realized that it was a 3-over that could have … Continue reading

Tour Academy
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 … Continue reading

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 … Continue reading
