It's been about a month now since I last provided an update on my pursuit to break 80 on the golf course. It's been a goal of mine for sometime now and I am really focusing on three key points of my golf game for 2016. Since I wrote that last article, a Twitter friend @PracticalGolf, sent me a direct message saying my article had inspired him to write about what a lot of golfers face when they are setting out in pursuit of a golf goal. Simply put, you have to believe you can do it. What … [Read more...]
My Pursuit to Break 80 on the Golf Course: #ProjectBreak80
It's a milestone I aim for every time I play a round of golf. While some golfers might be able to break 80 every time they go out, I find it a very difficult obstacle to overcome. In 2016, I set a goal again of trying to break 80 for the first time in 16 years. I've done it once before, at The Golf Club of Texas when I worked in the cart barn and pro shop back in 2000.

In my first post, I vowed to analyze each round of golf I play and start tracking what I do well and what I need to improve if I ever want to accomplish this goal. As mentioned in another post, I played TPC San Antonio yesterday. Last weekend I played out at La Cantera Resort … [Read more...]
#ProjectBreak80: Analyzing My Golf Game
I have recently set myself a 16-month goal of cutting my handicap in half. Currently, as of the 8/15 GHIN update, I have a 10.8 handicap. What this means is I would like to have my handicap down to a 5.4 by end of 2015. Is this possible? I think so. It will take some practice and focus, but I think I can do this. Starting with yesterday's round, I am going to begin tracking each round of golf I play and identify where I could improve the most. Sure, it's easy to say my entire golf … [Read more...]
