Tuning up the golf game

With a 3 day tournament coming up in a few weeks, figured it was time to get my golf game in order.  Went over to see Ben at Porter Valley (no link for Ben, because he doesn’t have a website – yet) to see what he thought.

After a bunch of irons on the range, some chipping and putting, he said “Why aren’t you a 3 handicap?”  I told him I didn’t know – could he please tell me?  His point was that I hit the ball solidly enough to BE a 3 handicap, but that I just apparently didn’t take it to the course.  Oddly enough this filled me with confidence.

So I went out today with my buddy Jack (which was just more fun than I can even explain), and shot a 78 – the first time I broke 80 on my home course.  8 pars and one double on the back nine, which has always been my problem nine.

The power of positive thinking.  I’ll be sure and pass this along to Sydney.
