Good news, I have upgraded my clubs! I am now playing with TaylorMade Tour Burners (4 through 9 with pitching and sand wedge)! They are a standard length and lie, so I am going to need to have them extended by an inch. Mike and Jim have been helping me with my swing; they both can see what issues I have and are trying to straighten me out. My #1 issue is swinging in tempo, getting my swing timing down so that I am striking the ball with the most controlled impact force.

On the lighter side, I need to call a truce with Big Joe! He is killing me with his quick “jabs”. On Sunday I complained about my drive being 30 yards short of what I expect. Joe quickly shot back with “don’t worry, you should get that on you next shot”…BAM! That being said, the “Joe Kintz Callaway Ball Wash Station” is rather catchy…

Golf thoughts from the greats-

Golf is a thinking man's game. You can have all the shots in the bag, but if you don't know what to do with them, you've got troubles. – Chi Chi Rodriguez

The older I get the better I used to be! – Lee Trevino

Golf is the only game I know of that actually becomes harder the longer you play it. - Bobby Jones

Reverse every natural instinct and do the opposite of what you are inclined to do, and you will probably come very close to having a perfect golf swing. - Ben Hogan

These greens are so fast I have to hold my putter over the ball and hit it with the shadow. - Sam Snead

I know what you are doing wrong – Jim Kelley

Pictures coming soon of my putting green!

Time to hit the range!
