Well another tournament is in the books and I am still being competive looks like,

I finished 6th in my flight this week at Red Fox Country club.

I am currently 15th in the points race in the Elite Golf Tour, after two events.

I have been hitting too many balls in practice sometimes I have flared up my carpal tunnel again or something, tendons to left elbow is tight and painful.

Trying an experiment with winn tour wrap w7 soft oversize grips on one club to test, the release feels better, and the forearm is not as tight, did a 2 bucket test with a sand iron, varifying distance and targets on the range, it felt good, think I may change them all early this week.

Three more weeks I turn 50, and I will move to the senior tees, that I expect to take alot of pressure off of my game, I think I have been pressing trying to hit with the young guys, gripping to tight at the course mainly, my practice range swing is great, wish I could take it to the course,  any ideas?

Hi, the game has gotten very stable and I have joined the Elite Golf Tour. www.elitegolftour.com

 I changed over to Adams Idea pro irons, and also back to my old ram 70's mallet putter, it just feels good and gets it done, and gets me a lot of strange looks and comments, mostly after I drain a long one.

I have been practicing alot in the last six months, ckeck out my pics and see  what I have accomplished so far. 6 aces at the local practice range and lowering my handicap by many strokes, so Life is good, but we always know it can get better.

 

I finished 7th in my flight last tournament at willow creek in a terrible wind, shot 10 over my handicap, but most others did also, I am 15th in the points race after one tournament, Tomorow We play Red Fox my home course you might say. Maybe I will have a good day.
