Goals

Here are a few worthy goals:

1. Consistent ball striking


2. Fairways and Greens - accuracy over distance


3. Improved iron play


4. Cool mental approach

Tournament

I'll be playing in my first official tournament tomorrow. I'm not sure if it really qualifies as anything per-se. Its put together by some of the folks who work for the Washington State Accounting Office. I've been invited by a friend as he works there. At any rate, it should be fun.

We''re playing Capitol City Golf Course down on Yelm Highway which I've never played. Should be fun. i think we'll be playing a best-ball tournament which will make team play the main feature. I much prefer strait stroke play even though I'm not that great... it just seems more interesting to me to count up my own score and play the ball as it lies. Picking up my ball mid-round seems wrong for some reason. Oh well, at least its golf on what should be a nice day at a new course. Bye.

Driver Length

So it turns out that my driver came in at 45.75" 44.75" from the factory. I had it cut down .5" to 45.25" 44.25". It plays a lot better... I'm still not quite there, but I can tell a difference in control.

My News

I've been golfing once a week for the most part and enjoying it (again... for the most part). I'm heading over to a clubfitter to get my driver cut down an inch. It'll play at 44" instead of the off-the-rack 45". I've opted for control over distance. I've been interested to read that you don't really gain much with that extra inch anyway. If I can hit the sweet spot on a regular basis then I'm golden. It'll go further anyway.

I hope to get in at least 9 holes this weekend... things are busy. I do get to golf three days with Guy Mickel (buddy of mine) in about a week. We're hitting Gold Mountain over in Bremerton, a very nice municipal course. After that, we'll do The Highlander in Wenatchee and anther course... not sure which.

Peace.
