Overall Comments:

Driving range practice is getting better. My swing is improving. I am getting a higher percentage of shots to be struck well. Distance is also getting better. I think that my improved swing with a more complete finish -- squaring up the hips and finishing up on the left foot.

First round of the year. Played Maplewood. Course was wet, muddy and the greens were just punched. Score: 108. Overall not a bad effort for the first outing. Driver never really worked. Lots of slices, and not very close to the fairway. I hit lots of fairways, just not the fairway that I was aiming at. My longer clubs were a disaster -- especially my hybrids. Never really hit the ball well at all. So much for translation of range to course.

For a good points, I had 4 or so good holes. Lots of good short irons and wedges. Actually placing the ball on the green near the hole. Several nice 6i. Putting was very good except for a couple of hits.
