Overall Comments:

Weight continues to drop. A slow, steady 1 lb per week. It is hard to image keeping it up for a whole year to lose 50 pounds.

Another round (3rd of year). Score: 101. Played in 3 hr 50 minutes on Friday afternoon. The weather was slightly overcast, in the low 50's. I had a nice round overall. Except for one 9, all 6's and less. 9 bogeys, 6 double bogeys, 3 triple plus.

My driver is returning -- at least I am starting to get some distance with it. Still losing it right and left. Hybrids and long irons are still iffy -- both in direction and distance. Most of the time, they are short in the 150-160 range. For all the good they are doing, I would be much better off using my 6i.

I am getting better on getting to the green. Most of my first putts are in the 15 foot range or shorter. I am having the most trouble with 50-100 yds to green. I still mishit that shot the most. Eleven(11) holes starting under 15 feet.

The "Putts plus 150 yds and in hits" is still too high. Lots of 4's rather than 3's or less. Ideally this should be 2's. Practically, 3's would be great eg a missed short approach plus a chip/pitch to green plus a single putt.
