OrlandoWell, I obviously did not play as well as I would have liked at The Honda Classic. I mean the course was tough, but that's not a good excuse. I figured some things out on the mental side on Thursday night and it helped getting things rolling with three birdies to start on Friday. I really thought I was going to go low, but sometimes no matter how good your head is, if your game is off just a bit out there, the wheels fall off rather quickly.
I've been hanging at home and will be playing next in the Puerto Rico Open March 20. Before then, I am heading to Orlando to work on my game a bit and meet with the Adams Golf folks about clubs and do some testing. I'm just trying to relax at home and get ready for the next run. I know what it’s like now to be out there and I am ready, definitely ready...
I have been hitting my irons well, so I'm just keeping them tuned. My driver has been leaking right, so I am working on that. My Adams 3 wood (that I loved!) cracked at Pebble Beach and I just haven't been able to find another one that works. I've also been working on my putting which I think just about every player does. It is the easiest thing to practice so there's no excuse to being a bad putter as far as I'm concerned.
GolfLink Question of the Week! Ray Cherry of Chattanooga, Tennessee, asks:
At 62 years of age I play over 100 rounds a year and walk 95 percent of the time. My question is: "What type of food do you eat to keep up your energy level prior to a tournament or snacks during a tournament?"
Ray,
That is awesome! I sure hope when I get to be 62 I am playing a lot of golf. I am not necessarily the best person to talk to about eating right, but I am working on that, too. I've learned about how you can eat the right way to keep your blood sugars level (avoid sugar, Ray...it will just make you crash and burn). A guy I've been speaking to told me you need to eat 5 times a day and keep the foods simple. I don’t know for sure the right answers, but the more I learn, the more I'll let you all know.
Thanks for the support!
