A journal entry (for when journals come back)

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.

Mate, you said a mouthful right there...

Print that off on a little card and laminate it and attach it to your golf bag...

That is gold!!!

Glad to see you are now getting out on course.

Keep at it, the good golf will come...

Cheers
