Tournaments Galore
>> September 29, 2008
I have totally lost my blogging muse and have slacked off completely here at Golf is Hard. That said, I haven't had much of interest to talk about either lately.
Last weekend, I played in a father/daugther tournament here in CT. She's 9 and still very much learning the game. That said, she's got the etiquitte almost down (she's still restless on the green while someone else is taking their shot) and is a terrific little putter. She nearly dropped 2 20 foot birdie putts and missed a 30 footer for par by about 3 inches. It was way, way too much fun playing in a scramble like that and we plan to do it again.
Meanwhile, I'm headed to Charlotte to play in a member/guest tournament with a very old friend. I'm pretty nervous for two reasons. First, I want to represent well and have this feeling that the course isn't going to be so easy). Secondly, I haven't ever played that much golf in such a short time period and I'm worried about my back. I'll have to add a ton of stretching every day to get ready and hope I'll hold up well. We'll see.

I'm sure you will do fine. Stretching is probably the most important thing you can do. To groove your swing, try swinging your driver with your feet together (with your normal stance). This will help get your balance down. Try the same thing with your 9-iron, except use only a 3/4 swing. Do this for 10 minutes a day until your tournament. Good luck and I look forward to hearing how you do.
