Brief Update. Hopefully More Frequent Posts to Come

My promised highlights from round at Seneca, but I have since forgotten most of it (actually I haven't, but who cares about a round from over a week ago. I played well early until a 3 putt on the 7th and a nice triple bogey on the easy 8th hole par 3. I birdied 9 for a round of 40. The backside was a series of missed greens and bogeys. Pretty blah.

My last round after work with some guys at Nevel Meade was much more successful, even though I had too many bogeys the backside due strictly to mental errors instead of bad swings. I shot 35-40 for a 75. The highlight was on eagle on the par 5 7th. A high flop shot over a bunker from about 25 yards found the cup.

The bottom line is that I am hitting very good shots. Most of my mistakes come with poor club selection or trying shots that are unnecessary. So my goal is to stick to my game plan and take the simplest approach to shots. I will be playing Nevel Meade early Friday. I might get a round in Wednesday, but that depends on what Beth's schedule is. I also plan on getting one for the weekend. Free golf is great and I'm enjoying every minute of it. I feel I am playing the best golf in quite some time and just need ti keep my brain out of the way.

Work this current home stand has been crazy. Power outages during games, termite swarms in the Hall of Fame is absolutely ridiculous and numerous problems keep creeping up. Hopefully we are due for a smooth game.

That's it for now. I'm going to bed. Thanks to all those you keep checking my blog and I'm sure I will get back to it this week.

...One last note, my cornhole record for the season is 57-12. I've played quite a bit and am looking for some tournaments if anyone hears of any.

Admit It, You Missed Me

It is getting late and I don't feel like writing, but I just wanted to let everyone know and am still kicking. My plan is to post again tomorrow. Until then, I will just leave you with a few thoughts.
  • Rachel Alexandra is a great horse and Mine That Bird is a very good horse. But I was rooting against Mine That Bird because I don't like his trainer.
  • I was happy to see Henrik Stenson win The Players Championship last week. As far as international players go, he's alright...and any guy willing to hit a shot on national TV in his skivies is ok in my book. At least he didn't pull a Rick Jackson (a story I will not get into detail on this blog).
  • My golf game is coming around and I expect to make further improvements this summer.
  • I'm rooting for the astronauts working on the Hubble. Go astronauts go!
  • My combined cornhole record this year is 40 -9. Not bad.

Just like Pop, I will post a post round recap of my round at Seneca tomorrow. My goal this year is too shoot a round in the 60's. Thanks for checking back in...I'm going to bad befor I fall asleep with zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
