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 [...]

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 [...]

Tuesday was 9-hole day again, and this time even though I was practicing I decided to keep score and some stats to better mark my progress. I haven’t been keeping score much lately as I work through my swing changes, but I think in order to better assess my game it’s more beneficial to keep [...]

In case there’s any question as to why I’m excited about golf these days, check out this graph of my strokes over par from May 2009 to today:
This chart is from oobgolf. In the top-left corner is a score of 96 (+24) followed by another score of 104 (+32).
Up until the last few months, those were my typical, [...]

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: [...]

It’s been a full golf weekend – and really a full golf week. So much golf that I’ve had trouble keeping up with it on this blog.
To start, the 9-hole Tuesday round went fairly well as I shot a 43. It could have been, or really should have been, less than 40. I’m still in the [...]

It’s that time of week. Today I shot an 8 over-par 44 for the 9-hole round for the second week in a row. Shooting 40 is just around the corner! I feel like I played better than my score indicates, though. I just had untimely bad shots. Sometimes it’s okay to have a bad shot because you [...]

The round at Turnbull went so-so. I played well at times, but my ability to concentrate on every shot for every hole was poor. The end-result was a 14-over par 86. You can see my scorecard by clicking here.
It was a slow start, as usual. I was +4 after the first two holes. It didn’t really get better [...]

I guess my play during 9-hole Tuesday golf reflects the definition of small, incremental improvements. Two weeks ago I shot a 48. Last week a 45. Today a 44. Next week? I’m aiming for 40.
Really, I should have had 40 or less today. I was playing that well, at least compared to the last two rounds I’ve [...]

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 [...]
