Trevor's Golf Blog

 We got up before 5am, got to the gym at about 5:45, worked the quads, chest, deltoids, triceps, and lats for about 40 minutes and then hit the driving range right when there just enough light.   If the club head speed needs to increase, the boy needs to get stronger.

 I'm not sure how I stumbled upon this, but Hank Haney opens up his calendar to junior golfers for just $325/hour on select dates over the holidays.   Despite booking just an hour, we were there for an hour and 45 minutes.   Hank repeatedly said how much he liked Trevor's swing but that he needed to increase his club head speed if he wants to play for the Univ of Alabama.   This was definitely a once-in-a-lifetime Christmas present.

First day at the gym after adding him as a member.   The elliptical machine is not easy and it got the boy very winded after 20 minutes.   He thought he was going to throw up but held it in.   This is a great start to routine that he will laugh about down the road once he gets used to it.  

 Sunbird Golf Resort Well the boy already wrapped up the tour championship last weekend but still wanted to win his fifth in a row.   Uncle Kipp suggested putting the gas pedal to the floor on the last couple of holes instead to playing it safe to try to preserve a subpar round.   Like yesterday, he birdied three of nine but finished -1 on the last two holes instead of +3.   Very solid round.

 Palo Verde Golf Course Playing in just his second ever Firebirds tournament, Trevor a great four hole stretch with three birdies, but finished double bogey/bogey to wind up +2.   Cat Dann won it all with a -1.   Cat's father and I talked for quite awhile after the tournament while the boys practiced.   He's quite a character.   I have a feeling that the boys will become fast friends...

 Desert Mirage Golf Club The kid shot a somewhat uneventful +2 but it was enough to win his fourth consecutive X3 tournament and give him an insurmountable lead in the Tour Championship Standings.   He has a 63 point lead, and the winner next week will get only 60 points.
