4 days ago I went up the whole day and just practiced until 6 when I played 9 holes. I shot a 42 but it wasn't that dissapointing because I was playing good. 2 days ago I went up and did the same thing except I only played 4 holes before I got picked up. I was actually one under after the 13th. I'm going up today to practice. I need to get a hold of my driver.

I got a lesson today from Bob. He showed me my swing on video. What I was doing wrong was I was bringing my hands outside but the club inside so I was off the swing plane. I would get to a great position at the top but with my club face closed. I would then get ahead of my front foot and dip my head. My stance is a little wide and my grip was very strong I didn't even know it. I fixed the part of my backswing where my hands were going outside. After that I kept my head still and I got results. My chipping was good today. I can't wait for the weatherr to cool down.
Got alot to talk about. 3 days ago I played by myself until the seventh. I was only one over after 6 and then doubled 7. You could call the kid bad luck. His name is Steven and he is a freshman at CCC. He's a little nerdy. I shot a 39 on the front which is my second best score ever there. I went on to shoot 9 over on the back and shoot an 84. After the round the guy asked for my number and I didn't want to be mean. Now he's texting me alot and planning tee times for us. The next day I went up and shot a 79. My first round in the 70's in awhile. Yesterday I went up and played with Steven because he scheduled us a tee time. We only played 6 holes because it was getting hot and it was incredibly slow. I tried to go out later but my alergies were causing me to have asthma. So I mostly practiced. I have my first lesson with Bob today. He is the head pro. I wasn't liking what Matt was teaching me.

Yesterday I spent 12 hours at the club. I played 18 and hit the range for probably 5 hours. I shot an 83. I'm still not hitting the ball that great. I am for the majority of the time but I am having big mistakes when I make them. I think that as long as I practice as much as I am I can start improving. I'm just having trouble taking what I've learned on the range to the course.

I went up today and just practiced. I really figured out my driver. I slowed my swing down for now because I saw something on golf channel that said the easiest way to learn something is slow. I also started going through the ball instead of hanging back which was causing me to push and fade the ball. If I keep my back swing slow I can go for more power when I want. I still haven't found a consistent groove with my irons. My chipping is getting better and my putting is getting worse. I'm not used to fast greens yet. I should get better but for now I think i;m going to stick to practicing because every time I do something good I lose it when I don't practice it enough.
