Okay, I just had to go out today and see how Bobby’s advice could help me. It is always fun to play hooky from work and hit the links. Of course, nothing against what Bobby says about improving the short game, although it is often the nut behind the wheel (me) that determines success. Here is what happened today.
Here is where I posted the video in case you haven’t seen it yet:
All I’m saying is that Bobby’s execution is much better than mine. The tip that I would add is: A steep backswing and a steep chip put MUCH MORE IMPORTANCE ON HITTING THE BALL FIRST! My tendency to hit the ground first, way too often, makes a bad chip into a disaster. Just a thought.
Bobby is such a cool guy. He is also very observant and offers simple advice to get better. I love this short video because he shows me why I skull my short shots and how to fix it. Thanks, Bobby!

Eve and I love to get out on holidays (or anytime, for that matter) and get in 18 holes once the prices go down for the summer. Memorial Day was a great day, because rates were low ($29 per person with cart, I think) and because the weather was still very nice. The course we played is known for being more of a challenge than usual. On top of that, I wanted to be especially sure that I recorded all my strokes so I can prepare for (finally) getting my official handicap. This is one of the perks for being a brand new member of the Arizona Golf Association.
Anyway, just for fun, here is the course that we played, called Superstition Springs Golf Club, in Mesa, AZ:
Does anyone else do like I do andTHINK that I am better than I really am? I think I play to a handicap of 20-22. However, take a look at this score and see how I have been deluding myself.
