back in action (well, mostly)

Today started off where yesterday left off.  Sluggish and mentally drained.  Not sure now what is the major cause, but I decided to just push through and hope for the best in the afternoon.  The morning was also interrupted by a high school tournament, so after about two hours of practicing out at Heron Lakes I decided to break for Broadmoor where I knew it would be a bit slower.

After the could-have-been-better morning, I went back out to Heron and worked on my three-foot putts, sinking a personal record of 96 out of 102 putts on the final round of the day.  Not sure what I need to get in order to move on to the next distance, but I figure if I can keep that kind of percentage up I’m a shoe-in for stepping out to five-footers.  (side note to those who might not know, we are starting from the hole.  First we did one foot putts, which proved to be obtainable and then moved out to three-footers.  Next is five, seven, ten, twelve…. and hopefully I will be playing a real full game by next summer.  Might be able to play some par three courses in as little as six months too, just depends on how hard I train.)

I was going to stay out for a couple more hours after hitting that many in a row, but seven hours of putting had taken it’s toll on my lower back and neck today, so headed in to rest up for a repeat performance tomorrow.
