Sunday at the Masters (NSR)

EP - you hear that mitch hedburg od'd?

Dam, no I didn't - haven't kept up on the news much the last week or so, but I certanily hadn't seen THAT.

Cool - Played 36 yesterday and couldn't break 90 on either of them. My short game has gone to hell. (Slice is generally because of an outside-in swing path & an open face at impact.) Focus on a slow straight takeaway & don't let your right elbow fly out over at the top of your backswing. You might also try moving the ball further foward in your stand (effectively giving the clubhead more time to close along the swingpath *before* impact.)

Yep, open face is my problem regarding the slice. On thing that really helped was rotating my left hand so I could see my index and middle finger knuckles (basic, but I did not know). My grip was allowing the face to open every time. And it felt right too, as opposed to other grips I have tried. I am swinging slower as well with the new clubs pops hooked me up with. Not as much distance but I am keeping the ball in the right spot for the next shot. My short game was on, chipped in from say 45 yards or so for my first birdie, EVER too!! That got the confidence up and pared two more holes.

Doing a "pendulm" (sp) for putting and that helped sink 3 crucial puts.

I have not tried putting the ball further, but was teeing lower this time out too and was connecting well each time. I will try that though, thanks Ep!

If I can play like I did from now on and keep practicing these little things, I hope to break 100 this summer.


Ay Utards golf? I need a partner or two.

Buzz- Ill be golfing a whole lot this summer when My leg gets better, So If you ever miss the home courses Ill be mostly in smithfield at birch creek this year. Im so sick of that swamp hole in logan. Cant beat $24 for 18 and a cart. I also usually go golf with relatives in ogden a few days a year so Ill let you know if I ever get down there. SOunds like we shoot around the same.

Im a Birch fan myself, usually walk though, Logan Swamp cost me too many balls, done there. They gots attitude there anyhow.

Been hitting Glen Eagle here in Clearfield lately, good course, decieving to the eye, you think it it is wide open, looks wide open, then...... Think $36 for 18 w/cart. Weekends have to have cart (and since it is right down the road, beer too, for me at least ).

Want to see if I can walk 9 in Brigham after work once in a while too.

We shall talk.
