The Road to Sucess

The road to success is long and fraught with peril - but for the first time in my golfing life I think I'm on it.

I've had three pretty decent rounds in a row, going back to Moss Ridge in Mich. over the 4th.

After playing nine at Emerald Green two weeks ago I realized that I'd played 27 holes without losing a ball.

Thirteen holes at Prestwick and nine at Dwan bring that total up to 49.

Last summer I would have lost at least 12 balls during that stretch, guaranteed.

In short, things are going well on the golf front.

Some details from yesterdays round at Dwan:
7/7 fairways hit - although I had to reload twice.
Average drive: 230 yds.
Long drive: 250 yds (twice, although one was downhill).
Short drive: 215
Pars: 3 (I parred both par 3's and one of the 4's)
I was putting for either par or birdie on all the other holes except one, the par 5 number 12, where it took three six foot chips to get on the green from 25 yards out.

Dwan is not a tought track, but, my goal this summer has been long and straight off the tee.

Well, straight off the tee anyway. By long I mean 240+, but I'm pretty happy with 230.

After 41 years of crappy golf, I think I might have it figured out.
