Clubchampionchip.
First day tomorow, mens tee.
rain is forecasted all night, wet course and some rain will fall during play.
really hard conditions no roll expected at all.
I prepared as well as I can, I feel fine, I can hit the shots I want the distance required, I putt well, and I can chip and pitch ok.
My mental state is absolutly rocksolid and I be going for the pins tomorow.
I am going to hunt birdies.
I asked one of my sisters kids to help me with the wagon so I get a caddie to leave some stress from dragging the clubs around in this condition.
I have made great progress the last 2 weeks from the soar thumb to the grip change that helped me really lagging and swinging at the ball.
I do my best tomorow and let see how it stands up with the others.
Report will follow.

remember / relax and focus on repeating great swings/ i believe you are to the point that good swings are the norm and must now focus on playing golf with a good swing not having to think how to swing each time. visualize a good swing, feel it and then do it.
you are obviously very goal oriented and competitive so make that a strength by challenging yourself to having 45 good swings no matter the club and 30 putts. Forget score on hole after you have played it, goal is good swing = good shot.
have fun compete with yourself for good swings and staying relaxed and focused.
let me know how it goes
good luck

first round.
played the first 7 holes +1, shuld been -2 or 3 due to really good solid play.
Hit tee shot on 8 great, then sudden shank with strange shot, made tripple bogey.
Lost it after that and made 13 over last 11 holes, quad on 17 due to lsot ball, just plain sucky ass golf.
Putted extremly well, saved like 5 shots on 10+ foot putts.
Chipping was ok, had 2 bad chips all day.
almost holed out on hole 2.
had 4 birdie putts on line short with inches, sucked.
made a bad pitch on 13, over green from 50 yards, 20yards past, made bogey on a birdie hole for me, sucked bad.
totally, it just plain sucked.
I had issues to sleep had to take painkiller in the middle of night due to body aching.
tomorow its back tee.
longer, so even if I am 6 shots after, I can take the title home.

Edit: I am 4 shot behind the leader.
Our club is small and there is no really low handicappers.
I am tired but I think due to back tee I have a good chance if I can do what I can tomorow.
I guess a low 70 or even a high one could be enough.
I do my best.

second round back tee.
wet conditions.
I made an error with the grip these 2 days.
shot 47/39 for an 86.
wasnt happy with my game, play solid last 9 holes, but made no birdies for 2 days.
managed to find 6gir today.
ended up at third place.
2 shot from second and 6 shots from winning.
made one tripple hit it out of bounds and one dublebogey today.
loads of bad shots all day.
changed grip last nine holes which made a turn for better but was to late.
(5gir last nine)
felt like I gave the championchip away this year.
didnt find one green for the par 5 holes in 2 days!
sucky game.

Upcoming match thursday if the rain holds up.
Played 9holes on monday to see where I stand.
Brought my sisters kid along.
sunny, but the late summer starts to show, slow greens, high cut, but my game is golf.
Still have a few kinks with driver and I am starting to belive the shaft might be a little to soft for me.
Hit the first 3 greens in reg, 3 putted 2.Birdie putt lipped out on one.
all was birdie chances but left them 12f short on first putt.
put 3 shot on 4 green, 3 puted.
had 6 three putts on nine holes so it wa s bit much.
Hit a few really good shots, had actually nine good approach shots to the green.
One miss from fairway but the rest was good.
Today after 2 weeks rest, I can say I can now play golf as a game.
I can play the shots as I want them and even if there is some kinks with the longer clubs from time to time, I can hit irons deadly.
Its a good feel to know, I got how to play the game now done.
I can make the shots and play, and I hit 3 clubs longer than early spring due to this.
To next year, I will work out and continue my plan to get in shape as it takes longer than I thought to get my body down where I wanted.
I am also going to test and custoum fit next year so I get shafts done for my swing and speed.
I cant use the thumbgrip as provided but the modified works for me.
Thx guys.

Good for you Rob
I look forward to the day that i can say the same thing. it sounds like you have really got your swing down. Or as per mike's DVD you
now "OWN YOUR SWING "
It sounds like some of the other guys like oneputt and dorro and Harvey and maybe a few others also "OWN THEIR SWING"
I am very far from it, not even close. I can hit good long shots at times, but few and far between. My Driver is so bad. I can get good distance at times but can not keep the ball straight very often. The
fuuny thing is that i don't just pull or hook the ball, I push just as many shots very far to the right. Even slice some, but mainly big pushed shots. so it is hard to klnow what my problem is.

swingplane.
check or left arm, I bet ur way inside.
the sensation I had when I first was doing it right was it felt way forward.
Pusing means, ur coming from the inside.
could also check how much you stand to the ball, upright or leaned over.
and owning it, nah not yet, can play golf tho which helps

to note,
I was 2 up after 11.
pushed 4i a little ball ended up high in rough, ball fly way right into forest.
on 13hole, 3putted for bogey.
so, basically, made 2 small errors, cost me two holes.
saved par on 14 was a good one.
bad bogey on 15 and good saved par on 16.
chip in was like, heh.
and saved par on 18.
so I did what I had to do, get the ball into the hole.
was great match.
looking forward to the final.
10/9 most likely.
