Much better my friend, she's gorgeous! Have a happy Easter and I'll see you soon!
43/40 for an 83 today. BEAUTIFUL weather. Clubs were awesome. Mental lapses caused every hiccup. Going to have to make some decisions. My need to pull the 4-hybrid out of the bag. It's been a long time since I've hit a 4-iron as well as I do this iBlade. I had also forgotten to charge my GPS after 2 or 3 rounds. It died on about hole 3. Didn't realize how much I rely on that thing. Probably need to get back to where I "feel" distance rather than depend on a stupid piece of electronic equipment.

Happy Easter papaD!
85 yesterday. Just seem to be living in the mid-80's. I'm consistently 5 to 7 strokes worse than where I should be. Why? Most are mental errors. Just having a really difficult time concentrating. That allows one or two really bad holes to sneak up and kick me in the rear. Once you card a couple triples, it's difficult to come back.
Two "blow up" holes cost me dearly yesterday. Hit a perfect drive on 16. Just was about 5 yards left of center which made me need to work one over a trap and under an overhanging tree to the flag. Clubbed up two to keep the trajectory down. Hit the perfect shot. Ball clipped a twig that had to be about the size of a lead pencil. Ball went straight up in the air, coming down into the sand trap... buried. On 17, was still foaming at the mouth over 16. Put a really bad swing on an 8-iron and ended up in another trap. This trap has an upper wall about waist high. And, I caught the lip of that bunker wall, tossing the ball right back at my feet. Stupid mistakes. Bad luck. The frustrations of golf.
Wind chill of 19 degrees here this morning. Went to Easter Sunrises Service. They even moved that inside. No golf today.

Can't go wrong with Eye 2's. Still one of the easiest to hit irons ever made.

Played very well at Sand Canyon...78 with 2 birdies in a row...snuck out on Easter - played as a single and hooked up with a good couple of other singles...
Good round. I can see a lot of spots you don't want to be on that course. Where is it?

It’s the old Robinson Ranch facility in Canyon Cointry (SoCal just north of LA)...used to be a 36 hole jewel, but much of the course was destroyed by the sand fire a few years back and it never recovered...got a new owner who is literally pumping millions of dollars into it...can be pricey but I got a 65 dollar rate on Golf Now...usual rate is around 90...but in that range, you can go to not too far away Angeles National (a Nicklaus daily fee) that is truly world class in every way...here is some Angeles photos
78 yesterday - SWMBO and I played with 2 other couples. Being Easter Sunday, the course was literally deserted, so the pro allowed us to play as a 6-some. We had a guys vs girls team low ball match play. The ladies beat us 3 and 2. We gave them a stroke on the 4s, 3s and 2 strokes on the 5s. It was sunny and 81 - what a blast! Cooked steaks and watched the Houston Open. Nice day. 
Cold and snowing here.
Wife's cousin in Minnesota sent posted pictures on Facebook. They're using snowshoes to just get around their own house/barn area. Location is about an hour west of the Twin Cities. Totally unexpected this late in the year.Cold and snowing here.
We expect it in Wisconsin. But we don't need snowshoes yet.
84 yesterday. Couldn't chip or pitch to save my life but had arguably my best driving day in 3 years. Hit 11 of 15 fairways and was putting it out there pretty good.
Exactly my round today. My greenside play was ugly. Not one good chip or pitch. My long game was awesome. Putter saved a lot of mistakes though. Shot 72 (+1)
Did I mention I hit one 417?!?! Woo hooo! My head will barely fit through my door since I hit that bomb
