Today’s Tournament….

Played in my club’s weekly tournament and had another step forward in my journey. Now my score doesn’t reflect how well I feel I played (82) but it was 44* degrees when I teed off and I didn’t get into the sun until about the 7th hole. I got on the bogey train for those first 7 but played the last 11 at 3 over. But today I hit 10 of 14 fairways which is awesome b/c my driver has been my nemisis before seeing Chuck. I really did hit my irons well but on the front the short game eluded me. Bottom line though scores are coming down, what was normally a 90 is now an 82!

The biggest take away from today was my mental game. In a previous post I discussed how I allowed myself to be taken out of my game by a situation I found myself in on the course well today I did not let that happen. I found myself playing with an older gentleman who’s TREX was huge (ego) and he was cussing and throwing clubs which I absolute cannot stand (cussing not too bad but I hate when people throw clubs). Anyway I was really able to keep focus on the task at hand and my own shots and did not allow this idiot to bother me especially when I was on that early bogey train. So even though I shot 82 I still feel that today was a HUGE success and I don’t think I could have done it without all of the info on the mental game in the Rotary Swing site…it definitely save me a bunch of strokes today!

    Well done Mike. It sounds like your well on your way to a better game.
    I recently had a breakthrough as well. I shot 79 on a British Open Qualifying course (links) in 50 degrees and 30 mph winds!

    Mike, I hope you have ear plugs when we play on the 11th. I have been known to put some real “Sunday School” language on a golf ball. The good thing though is that I am a teapot and not a pressure cooker. As soon as I am off the heat, I quit whistling.

    :-) No problem Greg…I will let a few fly myself I just can’t stand it when words are not the only thing flying down the fairway ;-)

    Neil that is awesome! If I did that I would be looking for a caddy for when qualifying comes around :-)
