Golf, Room For Improvement
Golfing is a wonderful sport. There always seems to be room for improvement. I just wish it would happen faster. However, like most average golfers, I do not have the discipline to get better. I do not take time to go to the driving range, or time for lessons. I do my practice on the course, which is a very bad idea if you want to improve.
However, I am open to suggestions from people that I shoot a round with. My latest suggestion came from Tony Mendiola, unfortunately it wasn’t until the 16th hole. I was not hitting my irons very well, so he took the opportunity to tell me that I was collapsing my elbows during the backswing. Now, as a golfer I know this swing characteristic is bad and wasn’t aware that I was doing it. As soon as I got to my next iron shot, I made it a priority to widen my swing, and hit he ball flush and long. What a great feeling it was.
Thank you Mr M.

You need to come play with me and let me school you. You'll get better by osmosis.

How often do you play? Are you in the 80's/90's yet? I have only broken 100 twice, and they were on a par 70 and a par 71.
Does Charlie Hoff golf? I am thinking a little foursome in the near future. You, me, Ruocco and Hoff.
