Greetings Everyone!
Hope everyone had an enjoyable and pleasent 4th.
I like to say now at least out here, this is the "meat" of the league season. 9 regular weeks left with match play in full swing. Has been a different spring and summer so far out here. From hot to wet to down right cool yesterday with long pants making there appearence again.
Still trending in right direction and do beleive I am just about ready to brake through and it's all coming together. Put the "think box", "play box" back into action yesterday. Shot a 44 on the front with a few lapses overall with an 18 hole scoe of 96 :( Truly am on the cusp. That front nine 44 could of and should have been a lot better. 2 doubles and on what should have been a par or bogey at worst. I haven't did this in anytime I can recall. Hit a par 3 off the tee, looking at a 45 ft. lag putt and put it with in 3 feet. then proceeded to 3 putt from there! UGH!!!! Crazy thing is putted one in from just of the green on the fringe from 17 feet for a par on the 1st hole. And even with that 4 putt on number 5, I had 14 total putts on front 9! Back 9 had only 1 one putt and sadly 2 penality strokes and 1 OB hence the 52. But ball striking was there directional issues where the cause. But I am confident as I move forward with league play and match play. Have regular match coming up next Thursday, a win moves me into the quarter finals. Still attempting to schedule senior match play, (quarter final round).
And reason I said "think box, play box" is working, I should have been totally distracted, since I left for round with buckets in the living room catching water coming through the ceailing and would have to deal with it when I got back. Definitly full week from the 4th till now with golf and apt. issues to mention a few. Please forgive any typos as just wanted to share after being up after yeasterday (Tuesday night till Wednesday night 26 hours with 4 hours split naps in between dealing with broken pipe.
Side note, really getter dialed in with wedges. The Cleveland RTX Full Face and Zipcore check the balls nicely. And adjustments starting to get there, since the ball doesn't roll out like it used to and getting swing distances closer now.
Blessings
Nice progress Steve. We won 3rd bracket of match tourney today on 18 AGAIN. Shot 41 front (with 1 blowup hole triple), 46 back. I put us up +4 at turn, my partner came through on the back. No egregious errors. I just keep doing 1/2 hr of Tom's videos at 2x speed every night for reinforcement + drills.
Ugh. I hate when life's realities....and waterfalls....get in the way of golf.....
Nice job compartmentalizing and staying true to the Think Box/Play Box despite the domestic distractions!
