Typhoon Today it was about slowing down. Very forgiving head, I slowed down a bit too much and pushed a few.
My opinion it's all about smoothing out your transition time and "fitting" your release to the heft/shaft weight/swing speed so one winds up with a longer impact area down the line. Even quick transition time players like Nick Price are/were great at getting that sync'ed up.
Out to the local muni this morning. Another meh start, +3 through 10. #13-#18 are the tough ones on this course, so for a "good" round I need to be around even through 12. I did at least birdie 12 to get back to +2 heading into the tough part.
Proceed to birdie 3 of the next 4 to get to -1. A bad easy chip on 17, bogey. A bad iron shot on 18 into a greenside bunker, but nearly holed it, tap in for an Even 72. First even par round in a year, but still shaking my head over that chip on 17.
78 at Tarpon Springs. Had two birdies. First out at 7:00 and were done at 9:53. Nice ball striking day.

I'd ask "what was for lunch", but you finished at 9:53. 
43 - 43 = 86
Hit 9 / 14 fairways. Not great but much improved finally using the driver exclusively and not the 3 wood off the tee.
Zero made putts. No one putt greens.
Just can’t get the read of these greens.
Missed 6 and 8 footers for birdies.
Getting my humbling new geezer yardages dialed in. So…. I focus on playing smart and on the short game.
Played The slumpbuster yesterday, 38-40-78.
I use the Gary Edwin RSS and he's a bit cryptic in what he gives away for free. But I happened to catch a tidbit about the grip when watching some of his youtube videos and it worked great. Missed one fw and picked up yardage.
Wife and I are doing an overnighter at Sawmill Creek Resort in Ohio. Nice Tom Fazio course. Continued the great driving, missing only one fw. Second shots were not as crisp, hit 7 GIR but left myself some long putts on fast greens. Downhill putts are no joke. Shot 86 with 38 putts. Had 4 straight 3 putts at one point. Playing again tomorrow, expect much better.

The head greenskeeper there is a friend of mine.....I worked for him at another course where he got his start
a hundred years ago, LOL! I agree it's a nice course, and usually in perfect condition!! Play well tomorrow!
Got out for a quick 18 at a muni I hadn't played in several years. The reason became apparent on the first green. Pretty much all the greens were a disaster.
Played mostly poorly except for a stretch between holes 7 and 13. In that stretch I had two birdies, a tap-in par that should've been a birdie, and hit 5 of 7 greens in regulation.
On the 13th hole my approach shot hit the flag on the fly, about a foot above the green surface. I thought I had dunked it. When I got up there I saw my ball mark about five inches right of the hole; it made that mark after hitting the flag. The ball settled about three feet away which was my second birdie.
But I also hit some real stinkers, especially on holes 2, 4, 10, and 14. I didn't keep score.
It was really hot and humid, and I was glad to get back home for a cool shower when it was done.
Annual Herc Hackers gross score (no handicap) 4-ship work scramble today…our 67 was good enough for 3rd place & $200 cash…definitely left a few shots out there but my putter was on 
Cool. Do I see a 93 
Eguller Do I see a 93
LOL…indeed you do…I don’t know what happened to that team & will have to investigate…
VigilanteTrail Sound like a one man johnnydoom team. 
So I decided to be an idiot today and booked a 2pm tee time with an expected high temp of 107°. Apparently I need to be stupid more often because I shot a 37-39 for a +5 76. Probably my best round ever! Played Lone Tree Golf Club and played 15 of the 18 holes as a single. I was taking my time and not rushing, thinking about every shot. Front nine took 1.25 hours and I brrdied both par 5's, had 3 bogeys and only 12 putts. Had 28 putts total. Back nine was 7 pars and 2 doubles. They had a 132 person Jr tournament going that I caught up to on hole 10 so the back nine took 2.25 hrs. I may have to make this a new routine. Damn that felt good. 1st time breaking 80 in 2 years.
