Let me share my latest golf advice.
Pussy's hit the ball, men strike the ball. So this is the BIG swing change I am working on.
I just got a chance to try some of Andy Plummer's advice...
...so, I tried to drop off my clubs at the Salvation Army but they wouldn't take them.

Before I cry like a baby again I want to share a dream with you.
That am about to not suck quite as badly. I am currently sitting at an 18 index, which is about a 20-21 handicap depending on the course I am playing. Progress has been stagnant for over a year leading to increased drinking, minor self inflicted wounds, and an usual increase in broken equipment. Go Figure!
Last Monday night, no lie, I sat in bed and thinking that I might have put some things together with my swing. I went out before work on Tuesday to the range, and again on Thursday, and actually started to strike the ball much better. Much better!
Add to this a last second opportunity of a lifetime. I had the chance to run down as Fax's guest to get a mini lesson from the renowned Andy Plummer of Stack & Tilt .
It always fun to have two Pro's watch your horrific swing on the driving range in front of onlookers while you try and swing, listen to directions, and not trail your tighty-whities. The result, I think, is that I started to figure out (with Andy's help) serious flaws in my eleven year young swing that have prevented me from progressing below the 20 handicap range. Mostly obvious things, and easy to work on. The result after 40 minutes or so was that I started to hit the ball a bit more like a man, a truly unfamiliar feeling to me.
The problem is the reality that I have about five more swing thoughts to added to the absolute mess of garbage that rattles around my brain on every address of the ball. I will describe in coming posts the myriad of garbage that I need to translate into my swing and more about my experience at the range trying not to throw up on my shoes in front of Andy & Fax. I am convinced that I now have the fundamentals in place to progress a bit in my game. I am so excited, I suppose until reality punches me in the nose again!
Peace!

Golf, a creul fucking game!
I shot 97, 97 this weekend.... but this tells you nothing. My Saturday 97 was the worst golf experience in a long while, and felt much worse (believe it or not) than the 107 I carded last week, and that was only time I shot over 100 in the last year. That is just how badly it felt. I lost my composure... a total meltdown. Thank god there are no pictures. I actually considered walking off the course on multiple occasions crying in my car, digging my sailing equipment out of the closet, and donating my clubs to a local charity.
My Sunday 97 (same fucking score) felt fantastic. I struck the ball well all day. A couple of bad shots, a couple of poor course management decisions, and got a couple a very bad breaks. Here is the funny part, and here is the true beauty of golf. Both rounds with friends were enjoyable, and both days, somehow, I contributed to team winning scores. I just doesn't make sense.
Golf, dont look for an explanation... there is none. Just enjoy it.

YOU THOUGHT YOU HIT IT LONGER | From Kyle Phelps
The table right (figure 1) shows a pretty frightening development I think. Fifteen years ago the funny quote from Lee Trevino alleged that “no-one could hit a 1 Iron”. Well look at the loft on today’s #3 Iron and you can see it is well on its way to being a 1 Iron that Lee Trevino could NOT hit.
