The Golf Blog: Thinking About a More Balanced Approach

  It’s been almost three weeks since my last entry, but I’ve been working on my game nonetheless.  I’ve gotten in a handful of rounds with practice sessions sprinkled in between.  My game has been steadily improving and for the most part, struggling only in areas that get neglected during practice.  Because as I’m sure many can attest to, when one area... 

The Golf Blog: Staying Focused for Every Stroke

Due to the eye injury described in my last entry, inspiration on my part has been lacking.  I’ve avoided the driving range and instead relied on any mechanical work put in thus far to play a few rounds.  Although the rounds were short yardage wise, I actually played quite well.  I shot an 86 on Saturday (a personal best) and in doing so learned an invaluable lesson on... 

The Golf Blog: Trying to Keep Both Eyes on The Ball

Houston, we have a slight problem.  A little over two weeks ago I awoke with a flickering flash in my right eye.  It was just off to the side and had little impact on my round of golf that day. About a week later, and a little bit more obstruction in my eye, I played two rounds of golf with my in-laws, but refused to succumb to the displeasure I was experiencing, at least for the second 18... 

The Golf Blog: Josh Karp’s Straight Down The Middle

This blog has given me enormous opportunities up until this point. Among them was when Josh Karp, a writer from Illinois, reached out to me with an offer I couldn’t refuse.   Josh had written a book about golf entitled Straight Down The Middle: Shivas Irons, Bagger Vance, and How I learned to Stop Worrying and Love My Golf Swing and because I wrote about my game here,... 

The Golf Blog: Embracing the Pressure

So many factors attribute to a good golf game. There are the mechanics, the decision making, and of course, the poise, just to name a few. To reach an elite golfing status, all must eventually be tuned to perfection. Personally speaking, the mechanics are never a problem. Each of my range visits consist of repetitive swings with a particular club, working out any flaws in the motion. As for the... 

The Golf Blog: Blowing Where the Wind Takes Me

Click here to join The Golf Blog’s email list. I had the pleasure of playing two rounds of golf this past week.  One on Saturday, when the wind reached upward of 40 mph gusts, and again on Monday, when the temperature barely touched 58 degrees, without the 30 mph NWN winds.   I’m not complaining, because as my brother-in-law would say, “It beats working.”  But... 

The Golf Blog: Putting My Way To a 93

I shot a modest 93 over the weekend on a 6,614-yard course, but the round had potential for so much more. Surprisingly, my putting was uncharacteristically off and failed me mostly on the back nine.  I’m usually pretty stable with the flat club—strategically playing for two-putts at the most—but this round couldn’t have been more up and down.  On two... 

The Golf Blog: Beginning To Feel Results

Click here to join The Golf Blog’s email list. Roughly 76 hours into my quest towards 10,000, it’s starting to feel comfortable.  No, seriously, I had a mechanical breakthrough similar to one I had when first learning to drive a car. When I was 16, my driving instructor and I were stationed at a stop sign.  Upon entering the intersection, I smoothly transitioned my right... 

The Golf Blog: Surrounding Myself With Patience

Click here  to join The Golf Blog’s email list. Two beautiful April weekends in the books, two rounds of golf played.  As for the individual experiences—they couldn’t have been more polar opposites.  But not because of the scores. In my first round, I hit the ball well, although my score didn’t reflect it.  Due to the problems I was having with my new... 

The Golf Blog: It’s All About The Drive

  Click here to join The Golf Blog’s email list. In order to not bombard you, or confuse the pursuit of perfecting my golf game, I’ve been trying to accumulate more hours in between posts. With this said, over the last two weeks I’ve spent about five to six hours pounding the range working mostly on my short game and attempting to figure out my new driver. Regarding...
