Practiced chipping from 5 to 10 yards short of the green this has always been a weakness in my game. It has been improving this year but my distance control still isn't where I want it to be, I'm either too long or too short and most of the greens on the course I play slope from back to front so chipping above the holes is not good. I am so afraid to go above the hole that I leave my chip way short, so practice, practice, practice.

These greens are sloped so severally that if you are 5 feet above the hole and miss the putt you might putt it off the front and have to chip again. That's what I'm afraid of.

Shot 42 this morning my grip change is really working out well I am driving the ball straighter and further, even my irons are going the distance they use too. My putting which is usually the best part of my game went cold today I missed 3 putts inside 3 feet I just can't get all parts of my game going at the same time. Oh well try again tomorrow. Play well all.

I play with the same guy every Tues and Thursday, and I could count on one hand all the times one of us has won both days- it’s usually a 2-3 stroke difference, one way or the other-
today was my day for the win with a decent little 77, which should have been a 75, minus 2 dumb putts… but, such is the game
but he thought he was going to do me in with his new velocore driver shaft. But in my opinion he drove worse with it…
go figure

Had a great game last night, 2nd round of the Club Foursomes KO competition. Close game in terms of h/c (CH us => 9, 2 them => 3, 6) meant we were getting one stroke from our opponents. Looked well and truly out of it after 8 holes, 7 over and 3 down.
9th was our stroking hole, look good for a hole win, they chip in for 4 we miss the par putt. 
Conversation to my partner "We need to start going for it and being aggressive"
He holes birdie at 10, and level par for the next few holes but not making any progress and are 2 down with 3 to play.
Have a great up and down on 16 to get it back to 1 down, they drive into trees on 17 and we again make an up and down to go all square. 
On 18 partner's drive is on fringe  about 15 feet away. I never putt on the fringe but this time thought it was low risk and left it 6 feet short but he holed the putt
Closed it out on the 1st extra hole, probably their worst hole on the night; my partner hit the green with his approach and put pressure on them. Their angle meant they were coming in over a bunker on to a firm green. They didn't carry it and 2 shots later we have 2 for the match, I dollied up the putt to inches and secured an unlikely win.

Made a last minute tee time for 6:40 yesterday morning at Seneca Metro Parks in Brecksville.

Played Furnace Run and Chippewa to make 18 and shot 43/43 86 at 6550 from the blues.

I've been struggling with my driver and a change to ball position saw me hitting it the best I have probably hit it. I did have 3 bad drives from pretty bad hooks but the rest were straight or a fade with the best topping 280 down the middle and the rest were 245 and up. I hope this continues. My short game was mediocre and is something I desperately need to work on.

I was having a not terrible, but not great round in league last night with some mediocre tee balls and a couple unlucky breaks when I stepped to the 8th tee. Disaster ensued. Flared drive into the woods right. I do not really have a shot for my 3rd and my choices were to try to aim short/left of the green and hope it ends up in decent shape or hit a 170-ish yard punch to stay below the trees. I decide to hit a normal shot short/left, but I push it a bit into the trees which grabs the ball and takes it right back into the penalty area. Cannot get a club on the ball so take yet another penalty on the hole and am still left with about another 100-yard punch. Not super effective shot, but I'm back in the fairway about 50 yards out. Pitch it about 30 feet past the hole and 3-putt for a freakin' 9. I ended up with a 47 (+12).  If this keeps up, be on the look-out for a fire sale on my clubs in the BST.
If there is anything to be encouraged about from the way I've played the last month, it's that I don't feel like it can get any worse and I am in the mid-40's. In prior years, all the blow-up rounds were low-50's. How's that for polishing a turd?

Good morning all from a hot and humid Wisconsin summer day. Gonna be a STEAMER tonight at league, but as long as there's a breeze it shouldn't be too bad. 
Kid free night last night was really nice. We went for a casual dinner and drink, then headed home and watched a non-kids movie, which is the first time in a looooooong time we've done that 🤣. My dad is bringing the boys back over later this evening. 
Hope everyone has a great day today!

@William P, happy 42nd anniversary and happy birthday to your wife.  Well done.  I would definitely say enjoy yourself immensely and what's wrong with the odd celebratory shenanigans or two?
