Swing shaping up

After shaking the flu and a couple weeks of cold weather things are finally looking good for my golf game. I've had a couple weeks to focus on short game and putting mechanics and am very pleased with the progress I've been making in those areas. After a full swing lesson yesterday with Rock Hill Country Club head professional John Hughes my swing fundamentals look as good as I have ever seen them. I hit several hundred balls today and put several swings on video, including probably the best driver swing I have ever made. I would post the video on the internet for everyone to see but my computer skills definitly are not up to that! I feel like the lesson with John went really well. It was refreshing to take a lesson and not worry about looking at video or drawing lines on a computer screen. Sometimes those things can be helpful but I think keeping it simple is a good philosophy for me to follow right now. Oh and a special thanks to Miles and Will for letting me beat them in a putting contest to help my confidence. Thanks guys!

Sidelined by the Flu

This is the first time in probably ten years that I have had the Flu and it is no fun. Started feeling bad last Sunday afternoon and have pretty much spent the last four days on the couch. I am over the worst of it now (fever is gone) and starting to feel much better. Hopefully within a day or two I'll be able to resume workouts!

Putter out of order!

Today was my first official day away from work! I played in a local section event at Waterford to kick things off. 73 with 35 putts, ouch. I did however manage to finish tied for second out of 15. Results however were not what today was about. It felt great to be playing competitively again and only increased my desire to find out how good I can get over the next few years. I guess I'll start tomorrow with several hours on the putting green!

Bad weather, no golf!

I don't by any means consider myself a fairweather player, but temps in the 30's and snow are too much! All this means less golf and more working out for now...
