Bellingham Golf
Played Shuksan GC today, a challenging course by my standards. Shot a 91 with every last swipe accounted for. Not too bad for a chop. My swing was in better shape today than last time. Less hooky.

Haven't played much golf in five years. During the past few months I have played 2-5 times a month, hit the range more frequently, and even took a lesson. The lesson did more for me that any past instruction. My instructor basically set me up for a draw which I have been hitting fairly consistently for a couple of months now.

As school winds down, I have played more. For the past 5 years I played perhaps two to four times per year. It's good to swing the club again. During that time, I could reasonably expect to shoot in the low to mid 90's. And in an effort to get better, I got significantly worse... swing thoughts all over the place and too many things going on in the swing.

My buddy Ryan showed up today with his family. We went and played the Willow's Run par-3. I'm certain I was coming over the top.
