  1. Thoughts on Repiaring the Decline of Golf

  2. Last Game of year

    Well had my last game of the year played at Canadian. Was pretty good shape, although few temp green as covering up greens for winter. Should have been a sad day, but I got my very first hole in one on 9 west at 100 yards. Didn't roll in was a slam dunk. Made it even sweeter. Called my Mom to...

  3. Boombox on the course

    About a year ago I was surprised (and annoyed) by a group of young fellas with a boombox playing while they golfed. Fortunately, they were only within earshot for a few minutes on that occasion. Last week I noticed a group in my league had one going. They were a couple of groups ahead of us,...

    Hey guys, got a hole in one today at Sorcier, my first but hopefully not my last. It was on the second par 3 on the front nine, #7 before you go back to the clubhouse side. That hole is appropriately named "L'Enfer" or "Hell". Today's pin was 194 yards and on the left side of the green. I hit...

  11. Pre shot routines

    So I have never been a big advocate of practice swings. Mostly because I see people take too many and it really throws the pace of play off (not 1-2 but acting like a pro). So I had essentially trained myself to help pick up other players slow play by playing faster. My routine was, get distance -...
