I did it, I finally broke 70! My goal for this forth year of playing golf and my last year before turning fifty is to shoot my first round in the sixties. It happened this weekend at Glen Annie Golf Club in Goleta, CA. I shot a tidy 3-under 68, recording 4 birdies and only 1 bogie! I didn’t even drive the ball well. But I was hitting my irons solid and finally making putts!

My wife and I just returned from our first trip to the Big Island! We stayed at Wyndham’s Kona Hawaiian Village and enjoyed lots relaxing, sight-seeing and good dining. I also snuck out on my own several mornings for a total of 4 rounds of golf.

My golf game of late hasn’t been something to write about, thus the lack of blog entries. I’ve managed to work in a few good rounds each month to keep my handicap in check, but way too many rounds lately have included a bunch of dreaded double, triple and quadruple bogies. My ball striking has simply been weak and inconsistent — very frustrating!

Ever since I returned home from my trip to Colorado, my game has been erratic and I’ve become increasingly frustrated. I loose control of my driver one round, get it back the next, then loose it again the following round. My putting is okay one round, horrible the next, then decent again the following round. My ball striking in general has just been off and I’m back to shooting in the 80’s every

I had the pleasure this week of attending the Grand Opening of “The Challenge Course” at Monarch Dunes. The Challenge Course, designed by Damian Pascuzzo and Steve Pate, is a unique collection of 12 par-3 holes that presents a fun, and very challenging, alternative for players of all abilities. It’s a great place to get a little more golf in after 18 or a quick round in when you don’t have time

The event celebrated the Society’s 16th anniversary, with “The Secret to Golf Revealed” by guest speaker, Fred Shoemaker. Having never played Pasatiempo, this historic Alister Mackenzie masterpiece became the 50th golf course added

My wife and I just returned from a 2-week trip in our small motorhome, traveling to one of our favorite destinations - Colorado. Over the years, we’ve traveled to Colorado several times with our children on summer “hiking” vacations. One vacation was spent in the San Juan Mountains, visiting Ouray, Telluride and Durango. During another trip, we stayed in Glenwood Springs and visited nearby Aspen.

Today I played my best round ever, scoring 5 birdies to shoot my first-ever even-par round from the tips at Monarch Dunes (73.0/137). I’ve scored 1-under and even-par rounds before, but never from the back tees. In fact, my best prior score at this course from the challenging back tees was a 6-over 77! And today’s 71 could so easily have been my first sub-70 round.

A very frustrating slump that began with the shanks nearly 3 weeks ago may have finally ended. Although I’ve had a few rounds now where I’ve avoided hitting the ball with the hosel, my scoring has continued to suffer. After 6 straight rounds over 80, with more double and triple bogies than I care to remember, I finally made a breakthrough yesterday.

I thought I’d share an update to yesterday’s post about my recent bout with the shanks. I decided to head out to the range after lunch today to hit a large bucket of balls using only my lob wedge to see if I could just make them go away. My full swings, pitches, and chips we’re working fine. The only shot that resulted in shanks was when I opened up the club face to get more loft.

I’ve apparently hit a wall in my efforts to improve. For the third time now, I’ve flurted with my goal to break through a 3 index. This time I’ve been holding steady, breaking 80 in 3 out of 4 rounds, but in my last four rounds I’ve bounced seriously backwards, shooting anywhere from 41 to 47 for nine holes in each round. I’ve developed the shanks!

Our early morning Super Bowl Sunday golf tournament was canceled yesterday due to rain, wind and cold. But just after noon, the sun started to peek out. Even though the winds were still howling, I decided to head over to the course to at least hit some balls and see if anyone was in the clubhouse to watch the Super Bowl. I arrived to an empty parking lot.

During the last month, between December 14th and January 13th, I played 12 rounds of golf and broke 80 in every round. For me, that’s quite an accomplishment (and for this time of year, quite a luxury). I usually sprinkle in a couple rounds in the low 80’s for every few rounds in the 70’s. I never seem to keep my good rounds going. My previous streak in the 70’s ended at 7. But something

Since picking up the game in 2005 with my old golf clubs, I’ve gradually replaced each club with new ones - except for my Orlimar Tri-Metal fairway woods. I just haven’t found any reason to replace them. When I think back to my most amazing golf shots, they almost all involve my favorite 20-degree Tri-Metal. My first eagle came on the par 5 6th at Monarch Dunes after I hit my 5-wood from 215
