Sorry to put this here - but it seems to be the best place for the time being.

Just finished 18.

49 on the front (with a 7 and 9) 54 on the back with nothing better than an ugly par save with another 9 and a pair of 7s.

Granted, this is my first full round of the season, but I played the front with bogies where the 7 and 9 weren't, and a even started with a par.

Key thoughts:

Chipping was the saviour. I got up and down 6 times on the front; compared to only twice on the back (but a couple were 6" tap in second putts). None the less, a stroke is a stroke.

The back 9 started going to hell in a handbasket when I started to swing outside of my ability. Gorilla golf is a surefire way for me to slice the ball. The laser came back on once I started making a nice slow backswing including a full turn with a smooth down and throughswing - a synchronized swing if you will. I ended up going par par triple (due to ugly chipping and a 3 putt); but the lesson was learned. Swing easy, let the club do the work. Swinging out of your shoes is a recipie for ugliness.

Also - deep arms and a full turn is only good for 3 or so holes. I get too tired after that. Keep seperating the arms and feeling 2 plane-ish for best results.

A new highlight: Golfing the home course on Christmas Day.

I say it too often: If it's golf club shaped, you can play with it.

For the record, I'm a club doctor, not a swing doctor.
