The Scorching Heat

7 Jul

The recent golf game yielded mixed results. The weather did me in, being an afternoon game. The scorching heat affected everyone, not just me. Of late, I have been playing quite a few afternoon games. It’s the company more than the game itself that I realized I’ve come to appreciate.

I had all sorts of disasters to start the game, with water, bunker, and a three-putt! Ugh. It took me a while to settle down before I started playing better. The mini-tournament and company were enjoyable despite the heat. We were all rewarded with a hearty early dinner upon completion.

Is there a need to go back to the drawing board as far as putting is concerned? I think I’m doing okay. Although I did 33 putts this time, it shouldn’t make me want to change the putter. So my Scotty Cameron will still stay in the bag.

Scotty on a Roll, Part 2

4 Jul

My Scotty Cameron putter has been good for me lately. I have had three games where I did only 30 putts. During the last outing, the three-putts were gone because the short game improved. Looking back, it was two putts all the way and six one-putt.

The only thing left now is better course management to eliminate silly shots. Well, one thing at a time. I’m teeing off better now with further distances, putting has improved tremendously, and the short game is a constant fine-tuning department. Nonetheless, everything is falling into place nicely.

So I’m hoping this positive momentum can go on a bit longer. We shall see how I fare with the afternoon game today.

DIY Project #30

3 Jul

DIY project number 30 is such a joy to build. Firstly, everything is so big compared to the past few that I have completed. Those were tiny miniatures, and project number 30 is hardly one!

Although there were occasions I stopped working on the project, the pace has been quite good. The main structure is up, and all the furniture pieces are complete. I believe I can wrap it up within a week or so! Whee.
