Play Updates

There have been a few interesting rounds lately when looked at by the improving player.

The first was a round of 76 with 5 birdies.  That is a lot of birdies, but still ended up 4 over par. 

The next round was a 78 with one birdie.  It seems to me that the 78 round was much more consistent golf than the round of 76.

And today I parred the first 8 holes.  I hit all the greens in regulation and two putted every green.  It was probably the best tee to green golf I've played.  But no putts were falling today.

The back nine wasn't as good.  I missed a couple of greens and still the putter was not favored by the golf Gods.  I was hitting the putts well and where I wanted them, but nothing went down all day.  Needless to say, no birdies.  The score I'd have to figure out, but it wasn't notable.

I have no real stories to tell.  I was just banging it along and then trying to do something on the greens.

I am happy about the ball striking.  I've been swinging a weighted club in the backyard for a few days.  It seems like the drives are getting longer and my duck hook has not shown its ugly head in a month.

The irons are good.  I'm close to removing my weight slide.  I'm pretty good on the back swing and I'm getting better at not shifting on the down swing.  It feels different.  It's working.  Everything is getting better.
