Tuesday 9/27/16

They micro punched the greens at my local course this week.  So on Monday I played the back 9 twice and today the front twice.

The front has been the harder for me over the years. A common score was 41 followed by 36 on the back.

And today was a bit like that.  Ted and I tied at 45 on the front.  I had my first snow man in a long time, but followed it up with a 36 on the replay.  I left a number of birdies short as the greens were slowish and bumpy.  That included a penalty stroke too.  Thus I'm feeling good about my scoring, but the tee shots are still an issue.

I think I am still sliding a bit on all of my shots.  I seem to be able to catch the irons, but frequently hit a bit of a push.  I was trying to swing with my 9 iron tempo.  That was ok, but didn't solve all of the issues.

So tomorrow - have I mentioned that retirement allows for a lot of golf? - I'm going to work on getting the lower body more active, particularly on the down swing.  I'm not sure if I am shortening the wind up, so will look into that.


I heard from my mom that she used some of Monte's wrist cock and managed to get a few balls in the air.  Yeah Monte!
