Progress, then let down. An endless cycle.

Ummm....

Where do I start?

Probably with an apology for the length of time it has been since I have written something.

Let's see...I teed it up today with Fuzzy, Phil Lobeck and Dave Drahman. It was LITERALLY 100 degrees. Fuzzy won all the money and then was nice enough to buy us lunch. He really starting clicking towards the end of the round. I posted a few pictures from my Treo in my photoblog.

I continue to be frustrated with my game, and at times worry that my game will never be back. It's as if I can't let my swing finish at the top before I am chopping down on it with the vengnence of an executioner. No pace, no rythem, nadda. A jab and a swat instead of a graceful swing of youth when it seemed effortless.

I was so frustrated I went back out and hit balls after work. I think I almost had a stroke, or at least I looked like I was about to. I sit here at my desk...totally drenched...as if just coming out of a salty pool.

I have only four weeks to figure it out before heading back to Pebble Beach for The WalMart First Tee Open. I am going to focus on rythem, and pointing to toe of the club upwards when taking it back. I am also going to work on keeping my hands away from my body, versus getting too flat with my swing and flipping at it.

I know...blah, blah, blah.

Maybe I need to reread Zen Golf.

Is anyone out there making progress this year? I would love to hear some positive stories. (LaDuke, I know your game sucks, so don't try to B.S. anyone here.)

I'll check in again soon, hopefully with something positive to report.

All the best, and I hope you are cool and comfy in your world.
