This Sunday......

This Sunday will be the first OFFICIAL round counting towards my Handicap. I'll be playing my home course, Sunset Whitney Country Club. I hoping this will give me a advantage. =)

USGA Handicap

I just bought a USGA handicap. So now all I need to do is start playing golf and entering the score into the system!! YAY!!

How we got here...... Part 2

It wasn't till last Friday (4-23-10)..... Had one of the worst front nine's ever. Shot a 53 with 3 OB's and never had a look at par and the front nine is the easier of the two nines. After stopping for some M&M's and drink, I told myself this can't get any worse and should just take out my frustration on this next tee shot. Some how I found the fairway and ended up making par!! Amazing, I know that what your thinking right? Still feeling crappy about the front nine and with the tee shot waiting for me on 11, I wasn't prepared for what came next! Boom! One of the sweetest shots I've ever hit!! It had finally clicked!! Ended up making par on 11 and par on 12,13,15, and 17. I shot 40 on the back. Only 3 over on the back! WOW!!

So here we are present day (4-28-10). After I shot that 40 on the back I came home and started putting this blog together.

How we got here...... Part 1

How about a little more insight to why I'm doing this? I've never had a handicap while playing golf. My normal score can be anywhere from 80-95 with my lowest score ever being a 76 at Mission Trails in San Diego about 2 1/2 years ago.

Over the last year I've been really wanting to change my swing. So I bought the Hank Haney Full swing DVD (March-09). I started watching and taking notes and watching and taking more notes....etc. Of course, like all golfer hoping to see results right away. I got worse! So I stopped and was somewhere between my old swing and new swing.(August-09) Hitting all kinds of shots, fat, thin, pull hooks, banana slices, and even worse SHANKS!! Every now again I would go back and watch the DVD and think maybe I was missing something but I wasn't. So now what?(February-10) My golf game was so unpredictable I wouldn't even play on courses with houses. Was too afraid of hitting a house and breaking a window. It wasn't till two months later........
