Becoming Bar | The Downswing

I have to admit, with workout training 3-5 days a week, and a lot of events in the new years, I barely had time to practice. Also, to keep me motivated, I’ve joined an actual competition with my friends to see who can get abs before May 1st, 2012. About 15 of us, are all competing to see who can lose the most fat to weight percentage and get abs. Woman (leaner stomache), Men (abs). So this has made me cut down on my diet. I’ve started on a strict Paleo diet as recommended by my trainer. I’ll post results.

From the last lesson, Nick gave me homework of:

HOMEWORK: #1 Practice the 3 things in the last lesson.
RESULTS: I haven’t been able to practice as much, but I am starting to feel more comfortable with the swing. So I would say, I didn’t do this, but will continue to. Read entire story »

Becoming Par | Backswing Takeaway and Hinge

From the last lesson, Nick gave me homework of:

HOMEWORK: #1 Practice to take away, get used to it. Video tape myself, and make what’s uncomfortable, comfortable because it is right.
RESULTS: Success.

HOMEWORK: #2 Use an 8 iron, and get my ball speed up above 110mph+. Ideally, he wants me at 115. Not club head speed, but ball speed, that’s the only thing he cares about… for now. Read entire story »

Becoming Par | Off Season Game Plan + Lesson

The great thing about living in Canada is that you can actually spend time to train for golf during the off-season. During the season, I would play round after round, and not really focused on trying to work on anything, but in the winter time — you have no choice, I ain’t playing with a winter jacket on the all-season golf courses. So here’s my game plan (which isn’t far off from what I’ve said before) Read entire story »

Finishing 2nd place at the Tour Championship, and 4th overall in the Order of Merits, I’ve accomplished what I’ve set out to do this year.

Becoming Par | Best Rounds Ever – 77

After many weeks of fixing my swing and getting it properly adjusted, I was placed 4th on the GTA Amateur Tour @ The Club at North Halton shooting 91 in C Flight.

From that, I was given some prize money to buy the new Taylormade TM-110 Daytona Tour Putter. It is a beautiful putter.

My first round with this putter, in just 2 weeks after with much practice (this past Sunday) I played in the Roger Cup Tournament, and I shot a 77 from the Blue Tees @ Foxbridge Golf & Country Club (approx. 6000Y), not a long course and quite forgiving, but it is the best round in my entire life and I actually broke 80, for the first time! Money well spent on the putter Read entire story »
