Tuesday September 14, 2021

 So we returned to the Grand Shithole on Tuesday to play BASIS Phoenix and Lincoln Prep.   It was 108 degrees and a bit windy and Trevor was +6 after six holes, with only one par.   He finally got it together on #7 with a par as the team battled with darkness.   Another par on #8 and he was running to the final tee box, a 355 yard par 5 (yes, par 5).   He drilled his tee shot about 275 yards, aided by a rock hard fairway.  We finally found the ball and I had to run and stand behind the pin so he could see it.   I couldn't see the ball in the air but I heard it land and watched it track perfectly as it broke a couple of feet right to the hole, coming to rest about six inches away.   The tap in eagle gave him the win!

Sunday April 30, 2023 - PING Junior Interclub

 Played a practice round on Friday and the boy did much better than the last couple of weeks.   No question he plays much better on good courses.   Today he had three shit holes that did him in (+10 on those holes) but went +4 on the other 15.   Crazy.   Finished with an 86.   So much better than the last couple of weeks on those shitty courses. Lauren and Doug came out to watch the front nine.

Monday January 30, 2023 - GolfTec Swing Analysis

 First time ever at GolfTec and it was so much better than I expected.   Our guy Trey really knows his stuff and he could describe the swing style of any PGA Tour pro out there.   He identified two key areas of imrovement - the shoulder tilt (not enough) and the hip sway (not enough).   After about 45 minutes, Trevor got those areas up where he needed and inreased his distance dramatically.   It was tricky to really connect after making those changes, but when he did, he hit his 7 iron 175 yards.   Insane.
