Garbage.
That's how I hit balls on the range and that's how I hit balls on the course.
I tried to use that swing that I was using yesterday - ball up in the stance (off the left heal), attack from the inside and level shoulder turn - it turned out to be a bunch of hooey. That's right - hooey.
However, I did birdie a Par 5 to win about $15, so that was cool. I also putted very well having only 12 putts on the front 9 (6 1-putts and 3 2-putts). I had 1 birdie and 3 pars, the rest of the afternoon stunk. I have never been more inconsistent on a golf course in my life. I can not play golf with the ball that forward in my stance. I am going back to working with the old swing and just making sure that I bring the club around my body more and not too steeply.
The worst part about the round was that it was over 100 degrees out. In that kind of weather, I am good for about 12 to 14 holes, then I become jelly.
We also played a pretty fun game. Everybody throws in $25 ($25 x 4 guys = $100). Whoever has the lowest score on a hole wins $5 instantly - cash back in your pocket. Maximum 3-hole carry over ($15). With the $10 left over, you do a closest to the pin on the 1st 2 par-3's for $5. This game allows for almost everyone to get in on the action - regardless of your handicap. I ended up winning $10 ($35 back in my pocket).
