I was on vacation in Park City with my website partner Rick, and we were supposed to play golf on Sunday. As it was, I got a stomach virus and was confined to the couch the entire weekend, which turned out to be entirely fortuitous. It was one of the few times that I would rather have been inside watching than outside practicing.

By now you know I shot 81-71 at the Professional National Championship at Turning Stone in Verona, NY. My number one goal for the week was to get through the practice rounds and pro-am and then be able to complete 36 holes walking, which I hadn’t done in 3 years. My expectations as to my play were fairly low, but the idea is to play hard and shoot as low as you can, so of course I harbored some hope of making the cut. I haven’t really played well on a difficult course in 7 or 8 years, and since I have less than 10 tournament rounds under my belt since I withdrew from the PNC two years ago my chances of making a cut that is fairly difficult due to the 310 players playing for 90 spots after 36 holes were probably not so great.

I’ve been playing for about 10 years, and the thing that has helped me most are the lessons I’ve taken from some of the best players in the U.S., including…

It’s such a bonus to still have my father around and doing well at 94 years young. He recently self-published a book on math theory (way over my head) and is now designing an attachment to make power washers clean more efficiently. He was always a whiz with numbers (he worked for NSA and DIA before anyone even knew what they were) and he can take apart and put back together (fixed) just about anything. He became interested in golf in the late 50’s and joined Lakewood, where I’m now the Director of Instruction, as a charter member in 1959.

I just spent the day with my student Kevin Streelman at the Sanderson Farms Classic PGA Tour event in Jackson, Mississippi, where we resumed our efforts to find a way to break Kevin’s habit of triggering his swing with too much…

So there’s good news and bad news: the bad news is that I played poorly for 28 holes, making 3 doubles and a quad, and then played the last 8 holes 2 under. My putting was adequate, my short game spectacular, my ball striking horrendous.
