    turned out to have miraculously chnaged to stroke play ranked!  2 strokes to my average..so much for practice...

    ANYWAYS...what could possibly have caused a 56 Clev wedge from 30 yds away to go half the distance you hit for, from the fairway approach, wind and elevation insignigficant, when hit right on the button?  Just when I think I have something figured out I get that....Is that just a random bad roll of the dice? Or is there something I should know about wedges on appraoch?

    The caddy might have defaulted to "pitch" instead of "full" because of the distance.  You've got to watch that sucker, many times he'll set you up with the wrong scale for putts, too.

    hOW FAR AND WHAT KIND OF ROLL..I CAN GUESS..DO YOU GET WITH THE PUNCH AND A WEDGE?  What for distance and usage indications?   I am experimenting with the 54-56-60 ones.   I like the hybrid.  Might be more inclined to drop the 3W but may need it when the tees go back the last couple......................................................

    Got my new PROGRESS measuring stick!   Up till very recently, my good rounds hada lot of hole where I got lucky and instread of hittin the ding I would save the hole by mishitting right or left.  I'll take a birde anyway it comes but last two day, despite no mind altering scores, I am just missing birdies with solid lines/dings.  Like tonight.  Didn't have any bogies in the tournament, but only 2 birdies.  The good thing was I just missed by a hair, 4 other birdies, on legit attempts.  2 days ina  row now.  Of course I want them to drop but a few days ago I dont get to 6 inches from 54 feet!, or 3 yards from 140 out!   So I have a little excitement at the moment!  Of course it is GOLF! SO I expect to shoot an 80 in 5 minutes in my nxt tourney! lol  But I am startign to see some good stuff!..

        Surgery MONDAY!  Hip replacement, so not sure when I will be back in action.   No real golf either, and didnt hurt it golfing! lol  That was another sport many moons ago.....So all you Masters have a little break from checking em out in the rear-view mirror!! LOL

    Seriously...have a good few days guys and gals..hope to be home Thrusday AM but not sure how I can sit at the CPU  desk. Did bring the LAptop home so I may need to play on that.   OK..not more driving you allc razy with my insane posts for a bit!  See you end of the week!!
