Two months in FL. Heading home tomorrow. 27 rounds, about half on exec courses. Turf here on public courses is horrible. Sandy, loose, loamy soil. Chunking everything. Kinda looking forward to a month off back in PA. Home course doesn’t open til 4/27. Hit ‘em straight. And if ya can’t hit ‘em straight- hit ‘em hard. |
Whoever double-crosses me and leaves me alive, he understands nothing about Tuco. Nothing!

I've had a huge problem with overswinging since I got my new irons. I took the 7i from my old set along today (G20's) to hit side by side with the T300's. My old irons felt heavier. When I got home and weighed them there was a 15gm difference between the two. At the range once I slowed down and worked on my tempo I was hitting the T300's a lot better. Between last weeks lesson, drills all week and a few hours at the practice facility everything is quickly getting back to good. I'm hitting the new ones about 10-15 yards further, but that's pretty much just the jacked lofts. I'm feeling pretty good right now. |

10,000 years ago there was a 2 mile thick glacier parked right here and not 1 SUV to melt it.
 Being retired I try to make it to the course every 48 hours if possible. Don't play much, mostly just practice now days. |
My Dad: with respect to your chosen profession son, do what you want to do, who you want to do it for and where you want to do it.

I did a +4 build up on my wedges and really like it. I’m going to do the same with my 7 iron, if I like it I’ll do the rest of my set. |

Played a scramble with 7 guys from work, celebrating a friend's retirement. Then when I got home my son wanted me to play 9 with him. I am whipped.

Okay, my first time playing mountaintop golf. Hitting on a Par 3 that was so far below that you couldn't see the flag was fun. As was skirting around the side of someone's lakehouse. Attached File On one hole the blue tees were across a road in somebody's front yard. They had a swing set up right behind the tees.

| Sloppy 40 this afternoon. 3 bogeys and a double vs one birdie. Blew it over from 70 yards twice. Struck it well. Little too well a couple times. Short game gets goofy after indoor league |

Played Palmilla Mountain & Ocean courses yesterday. 38 on the front, 45 on the back 😐 and that with a jacked back from taking divots during the back 9. Overall still a wonderful day! Attached File Attached File Attached File |

Day started great, but by 16 the rain started pissing down while the sun was shining everywhere but the course. Attached File |

I have never been so disgusted with my golf game. The caveat is I'm not playing poorly, just making the wrong swing at the wrong time. A composite of me subbing for my dad the last two weeks has been an 82. This is 4 birdies, 2 bogies, and SEVEN doubles. 6 doubles are with a penalty shot. Last week it was 3 doubles in 40deg temps with absolutely no excuse for the cold. 3 penalty shots. Today was 4 doubles and the fan was blowing 25mph. No excuse for the wind. I hit it well except for hitting it places you just can't. 1 three putt in the mix. I didn't keep the card but I putted well both days. The greens are perfect. Arrgh, i love this game and hate it at the same time. |
