I went with a videographer to Cloud 9 at the Angel Park Golf Course to practice my short game on an Executive Course. The videographer Marcus recorded all my tee shots, which I am going to review later today. We played night golf starting around 6pm, but it was still 100 degrees fahrenheit. Finished after 8pm when it started to cool down. 9,526 remain Random stat: Made some great shots from the tees onto the greens and much improved since the last time I played an Executive Golf Course, especially since my distance and calibration is sharper.  Continue Reading …

My business partner came to Las Vegas for business meetings and we decided to go to Top Golf for their public grand opening. I went with Joey, Luis, Dongki, Kevin, Mark, Luke, and Owen. It was a lot of fun and I was able to negotiate a deal with the head sales concierge for a reservation in their chairman's cabana, which had a pool, bar, and several couches so that we could play over steak, sushi, and drinks. It really got me into the golf mood. So I organized a round at Reflections Bay for date night with my wife, Amber, and we played the back 9 holes of the course, which was exciting because last time I only played the front 9 holes, and I wanted to share the beautiful lake views with  Continue Reading …

In addition to a couple days practicing at Canyon Gate for putting, pitching, sand trap, and range work, I also traveled to Florida and played golf at the Breakers Hotel's 2 courses in Palm Beach. One was a Rees Jones course, where I scored 104 and the others was a much more narrow Ocean Course, where I scored a 108. Both of which I played with my good friend and attorney, Luis. It was some of the most fun and perfect weather golf I played all year. We also celebrated Cinco de Mayo afterwards with Margaritas. Luis is a fun sport to play with and we drink beers while playing. Also, the pace of play was a bit slow at Rees Jones so the golf pro gave us both a free round to use in the future.  Continue Reading …

I had a Sunday round of golf with Joey, Luis, and Mike at Dragon Ridge, where I shot a 94 and played overall well with some great puts. A few days later on Thursday, I played a round with Luis at Shadow Creek. It was very rainy so we almost canceled, but the sun came out and we were able to finish 18 holes. We had a fun caddy named Stick. This is still a very difficult course. I shot 100-110, but didn't remember my exact score. 9,559 remain. Random stat: My Thursday round is the first round of golf that I recorded on a scorecard, but forgot to take a photo so I didn't get my exact score, which is fine since Shadow Creek is not a recordable course on GHIN.    Continue Reading …

Today, I went to play Bear's Best with Mark and ran into Kevin Park and invited him to join us. We ended up playing 18 holes. It was an awesome day for golf. The course was being worked on and the greens were slower than normal. However, it was quite an awesome experience. We also drank some beers during the last 3 holes. Mark said today's experience convinced him to join Club Corp to play Bear's Best and Canyon Gate regularly. I think that's great so I now have a more regular friend to play golf. As my swing coach outside of Butch Harmon School, Kevin said that my game-play was like watching night and day since the last time he coached me. I had few misses and I didn't have any real misses  Continue Reading …

Well, it is now 1 year since I started posting on the blog. On April 19, I played my first non-rookie year round of golf of 3 hours for 18 holes at Canyon Gate Country Club with Mark and Mike (the membership director). 9,573 remain. Random stat: I shot a 105.  Continue Reading …

I was sick with the flu for much of this time period; however, I did have time to play golf for part of it. On March 18, I met up with Frank Pacific's friends and I bought Dan Gattis, who is a phenomenal player that can hit the ball very far, over 300 yards with his 3 wood. I played very well and had a great time. However, at night, I started getting sick. After a couple weeks, I was a bit better and finally recovered. Amber and I went to Salt Lake City and I played 9 holes with Kim, where I shot a 52 and Kim shot a 54. This was at Forest Dale Golf Course. Also, I spent an hour putting and on the range myself, and then spent an additional hour on the range and putting with my  Continue Reading …

After a 1 hour drive from Vegas up North to Coyote Springs, Amber and I arrived at 9:30am for tee time with my buddy Frank and his friends at Coyote Springs Golf Club. It is a very beautiful course similar to Cascata. The first hole is 1 mile drive in a golf cart from the club club. I scored a 96 and Amber got a 115. I had a lot of challenges on the course. On my first 6 holes, I putt twice as much as it took me to get to the putting green. On hole 7, I hit a hill and landed 1 foot short of the putting green into a sand trip. Also, on hole 13, I drove and then took 1 stroke to get on the putting green, but it took me 3 strokes to get the ball in the hole. I need to practice a lot  Continue Reading …

Today, I went to Canyon Gate Country Club with the original intention of just putting practice, but there was a school on the putting green. So I went to the driving range with my 7 iron and 3 wood for 30 minutes and after the school was dying down, I went to the putting green for a half hour. 9,590 remain Random stat: I was able to get over 200 yards of distance with my 3 wood on the driving range.  Continue Reading …

Went to the gym to train with Dongki for a couple hours. Worked on 7 machines. Very tough workout. Had a peanut butter protein shake. Spent the rest of the day recovering. I also hired a new doctor today. He is a concierge doctor so he is more easily available than average doctors that see 10,000's clients in a year. Instead, his office will see less than 300. This will make my life a lot easier because insurance companies give run-arounds to get referrrals to see specialists. My wife will be meeting with him next Tuesday.  Continue Reading …
