Practice range again today.  Rained last night so I decided to try my "Slippery Shoe" practice.  See Photos ... I like to hit balls with these when the grass is wet to help concetrate on keeping my feet still.  It does not seem to affect my wedge game, but it really helps with long irons and woods.  I think it is a great way to practice, but never heard of anyone else do it. I hit a lot of good drves today.  Also hit 25-30 shots over a really tall tree with 670 wedge.

Practice Range today - Short game - Hit full 60 wedge about 20 yards off green.  Tryng to lob it soft onto a downslope.  Hit most of them really well.  Also hit the 56 degree -half shots to about 50 yards away.  Short game is getting tighter.  Good practice

Practice Range today.  Much needed work on the Driver.  Saw a lesson to reach on the backswing wit your driver.  Really helps to get a full swing.  On the follow through, aain reach out front.  With the head being still and a slow backswing, drives were going great. 

 Played 9 holes today at Butlers Golf Course - Driver was aweful today - Short irons not bad, but frustration from driver leaked into my short game. Lesson learned... play the shot lilke nothing happened prior.  Shot a 5 over par.  Not really bad for how bad my tee shots were. 

Practice range today again - worked on 56 & 60 wedges.  Nailed the 56 degree to hitting it 75 yards full shot.  Starting to work on hitting it 70 & 65 yards.  Hit 100 balls into the green from 20 - 25 feet out.  Getting pretty good control.  Hands forward and swing through the bll.  Love this shot.  Good practice day.

Practice Range Today - Worked on Putting and woods.  Practiced two putting every hole.  Took me close to an hour to achieve this.  Starting to red the greens a little better.  Worked on hybrid, 3 metal and Driver.  Again... Steady head and slo backswing are crutial.  Hit all three well when I concentrate on these key fundamentals.   

Played nine more holes today. Back nine of Lakeside again at Butlers Golf Course.  Should have hit the range instead.  Frustrating day since my last two rounds were really good.  Nothing to brag about - shots were way off - Driver was not working well and putting was awweful - Shot 6 over par 42

Played 9 holes today - Back Side of Lakeside at Butlers Golf Course - This is the hardest 9 at the course - Had a great day - 57% of fairways and only 15 putts.  GIR was aweful, or I might have shot par.  Had some nicve drives and a few irons from 100 yrds were right next to the hole.  Nice round of 39 - 3 over par.

Played 9 holes today - Front 9 of Woodside at Butlers Golf Course.  This course in right off the Top of my street.  Had a great round.  Some really nice drives - One measured at 291 - Avg of 259 -  Some nice chip shots and putter was working good.  Shot a 5 over 41. 

Lob wedge practice the first hour.  Getting great accuracy from 10-30 feet off of green.  Worked on punch shots to roll up to the pin, and lob shots when hitting to a downslope.  Moved to my gap and pitching wedge.  80% are fading to the right.  A Good 5 to 10 yards off of target today with those two clubs.  Had to really force myself to swing easy.  The shots then were right at the pin.  Swing Easy.  It's that simple.

Rain today.  So indoor practice it is.  Used the Putting Tutor for a while.  Great tool to hit yur puts straight.  Also swinging the Medicus Duel Hinge Driver.  This club really works.  Assures a steady, slow & smooth backswing.  And helps you swing on the correct plane forward.  Tee time Saturday morning for 18.  Looking forward to it.

Aother day of wedges.  Today I practiced lob wedge (60 degree) from 20-25 feet from green.  Trying to hit a spot to bump it onto the green.  Maybe hit 10 out of 50.  Not great with this shot yet. 

Driving range practice today - Worked on long wedges - Really getting good feel for my 56 degree.  70-75yards im hitting well.  Just starting to take small divot infront of ball with wedges.  Love my Cleveland 56 & 60, but thinking of going to Titleist Vokey wedges. 

Practice Range this morning - Chipped a Little, Putting practice and hit all clubs pretty well.  It was 80 degrees at 8:15am - 87 degrees by 9am.  Got Really hot and exhausted.  Used one of my practice techniques today by whereing slippery sandals.  This helps me concentrate on keeping my feet still, and to swing easy.  Still hit some decent shots.  Too hot to really finish my practice routine.

Played 9 Holes today at Seven Springs Golf Course.  A Much easier course than Butlers.  Still.. Shooting Par is always a good feeling.  Had some great Drives and a few nice putts.  Think I played well due to the practice in the Morning.  I will never play a round without hitting the range from now on.

Range practice this morning for 2 hours.  Longer lob and wedge shots.  50 - 75 yards.  Felt really good with these two clubs.  Then rescue & 3 metal.  Hit them straight as long as I concetrated on a slow backswing.  Love those clubs.  Hit 10 balls with driver.  80% went well.  Two of them still going way right.  Ultimate goal is to learn how to draw the ball.  Dont' we all !!

Hit the Range this morning for 2 hours.  Worked on Lob wedge around the green.  I feel really confident with 10 yards and in.  Came up with a new drill on the putting green.  There are 4 cups.  I use 5 balls, and try to two put every hole five times in a row.  Worked on the Driver for 20 minutes.  Figured out that I was teeing it up too high.  Much better ball flight.  Good practice day. 

Went to Driving Range this morning.  Spent 2 hours working on lob wedge, gap wedge and putting.  I think my technique is pretty good from 50 yards in.  Putting can always use help. 

Played 9 Holes today at Butlers Golf Course - Did beter than expected since I have not played in over a week.  I shot a 39 for 9 holes.  Driving accuracty is still way off.  When I focus and take my backswing very slow, it seems to help. 

10,000 And Counting !  Celebrated my 42nd birthday yesterday. Built this website today.  Playing a round of golf tomorrow.  Let's see where I stand and take it from there.  Time to get my Golf On !!
