Out again

Meaning, I have finally gotten out to play again. It has been a most unexpectedly hectic summer, and doesn't show real signs of letting up until the middle of September. But I was able to squeeze in 9 holes this morning. My focus (little as it may be) has been on chipping. I found a great book that I will likely refer to again in the future called "When Bad Things Happen to Bad Golfers" It has great advise for hackers everywhere. One tidbit of information I found helpful was for chipping. Apparently, I have gotten into the bad habit of swaying my body when I chip, a big no-no. By making sure that I have a good amount of weight on my left foot, I have improved my chipping game significantly. There is still work to be done to get my chip/putt average down to 2.0, but a help nonetheless. My plan for the rest of the year is probably one or two more 9 holes rounds, two 18 hole rounds and a final 18 holes at Christmas when we visit Stephanie's folks. I REALLY want to get rid of the ugly (albeit only) 18 hole score for 2008. Any left over funds I will likely spend on a new pitching wedge. Look for another post mid September (assuming everyone hasn't given up on me already). Cheers
