Hey guys,
Well I am just a medical mess, one thing after another. First I went through a bunch of surgeries, I’ve always had some crazy bone tumor above my ankle (making it impossible to wear any other golf shoes than Footjoy eComforts because they are the only ones that don’t have a high back), I’ve [...]
Hey everyone, I know it’s been quite a while since I have posted anything on the site, but I have been working super hard! Let me just update you guys on a few things that have been going on.
As you saw in the new video, my swing is improving a lot, but will still take [...]
Hey Guys, Good news and bad news. First the good news. I played fantastic in the first round of the Club Championship. I shot a 75 with only one birdie, so I was really doing well getting the ball up and in. I putted extremely well and my ball-striking was pretty good, definitely not where [...]
Well guys…I had my last procedure, so I should be pretty much recovered in a few days. The Club Championship at Windermere Country Club is on Saturday and Sunday this week, so the past 2 days after getting back from Virginia all I have been doing is playing and focusing on hitting the ball. It’s [...]
Hey guys, sorry about the lack of posting lately, but it might continue for a little while. I had to have a minor procedure over the holidays which turned into a disaster and I was on the couch for about 2 weeks. Today was my first day back with Chuck in over a month. Unfortunately [...]
Hey guys I think I am on the right track to recovering from my week layoff over thanksgiving. It’s amazing how long it takes to get some things back. My short game is still rusty, but getting better. My swing is starting to come back. Chuck set up a hitting bay in his garage where [...]
I have now learned the hard way that taking off anymore than one or two days is definitely not a good idea for me. I took off 6 days over Thanksgiving break and went back to Virginia to spend time with family. After living in Florida, I about froze to death. The last few days [...]
Today Chuck and I played 18 holes at Windermere. I am fortunately making somewhat of a switch from a good range player and a terrible on course player, to a terrible range player and a good on course player. I need to become good at both for confidence reasons, but right now I would rather be [...]
Hey guys, sorry it’s been a while since I have posted on here. I’ve been really busy working hard at both my golf game and fitness. In a few days I am going to send Chuck a write up of some of the workouts I do so that he can post them on the homepage [...]
Day One:
Day one was the best ball format. We got to use 90 percent of our handicap, and I was put down as an 8 handicap so I got to use 7 strokes, Chuck of course had to add one stroke to his score on the easiest hole being a +1. I was surprised at [...]
This weekend Chuck and I will be playing together in the Member-Member Tournament at Windermere Country Club. It’s a two day tournament in which the first day is best ball and the second day is a cumulative score between the both of us. If I shoot 80 and Chuck shoots 70, then we get a 150 [...]
My regular foursome plays one course that has a particularly tough par-5. Most 5-pars have some room for error. Not this one. It’s only 543 yards, but, it’s a three-shot hole. Three good shots, that is.
The last time we were there, this hole kicked us all. In the odd way that golf does [...]
I have to gloat a little bit. Chuck and I had a chipping lesson today, and we worked on adding more flow and release to my chipping. I have always chipped a little stiff armed that produces little to no spin. We worked on adding a little more speed to essentially produce more spin. The [...]
As Chuck put it in his blog post, yesterday was my Assessment day of the past month of work. We had the 18 hole chipping contest first. I’ve been somewhat uncomfortable over my chips lately. I am putting almost zero spin on the ball so it’s tough sometimes to control how far they roll out, [...]
For those PGA guys out there, you’ll know that P.A.T. stands for Player Ability Test, or Player Assessment Test. It’s part of the final step to passing the grade as a PGA professional and is basically a way for the PGA to measure one’s golfing ability through a round or two of golf. Today, I [...]
