Started out today with 4 pars, hittting everything, drives and irons perfect. Then hit the drive on the 5th hole to right and it bounced into some crap. Take an unplayable, tree in the way, hit a 7 down to left side of the fairway about 90 yards from the green, it's the longest par 4 on the course. Then I hit a shit shot into a bunker in front, and end up with a 7. I noticed on the dash it's 98 degrees. It was downhill from there, on the back nine it hit 100 degrees. I ended up with a two 43's. It's the hottest day I've played golf in the 9 years I've been back in Florida, I never see a 100 degrees here ever.

Yikes. 100 degrees in Florida has to be miserable because of the humidity. That is almost dangerous if you aren't prepared with water every other hole.

I'm pretty excited. It's going to be upper 70's here in KC for the next 5 days. In August. So strange. I'll take it.

I've always struggled with early extension, saw this video and it clicked. I'm striping the ball now.

Focus on keeping your wrist angle on the way down from the ball. This will also help keep your body and right arm from extending towards the ball. At least was the key with me. I have a very arms one plane swing but it's still important to maintain the wrist angle because it leads to me unknowingly going towards the ball.

So I've been contemplating this for quite a while, and my awesome wife recently gave me the green light for a full bag fitting. I scheduled a fitting 3 weeks ago and tomorrow is the day. The fitter I have chosen is Golf MD, a highly regarded fitter in the KC Metro. I am really excited about this.

My little gift to myself is arriving on Monday. G62 Garmin Approach golf watch. Now I don't have to keep score or track my distances myself. It's supposed to have a virtual caddy that will eventually even account for wind, distance, elevation change and suggest a club.

I've been fortunate enough to have played Harding Park 3-4 times when I live in San Fran and Silicon Valley. Great track, always in excellent shape and only complaint is if you play early morning, you have a HUGE chance of playing in fog. I did once and about the first 7 holes I had no idea where I was aiming for, where I was hitting to or see my ball past about 20 yards. Front nine sucked.

Likelihood you might hear the animals from San Francisco Zoo across the highway.

Of course there is , wind , bad lies , noise in your back swing etc..

Bottom line bad shots are never your fault , having that type of mentality will do wonders to your game.
