Golf Plex 5/11
On Saturday, I went to the Golf Plex for the first time. This is a driving range/practice facility where they have 4 mini holes to practice various shots. I was impressed with their greens, and they were a lot faster than I'm used to playing.
They also had these wierd mats that electronically set the up for you. Regardless, I hate hitting off mats, and my slice was even worse. It went straight and literally turned 90 degress into the woods. Again, I would be perfect for a dog leg right.
On the practice course, I did well on the Par 3s and not so well on 4 and 5.

Brentwood 5/6/13 45
When I played at Brentwood on Sunday, I warmed up first.
That was critical, b/c I had a chance to practice my 1/4 shot and it worked! I used all my wedges, except the 68.... I don't think there is a 1/4 swing for it.
On the course, my tee shots were o.k. I shot have stayed with the utility off the tee. I was pleased with the approach shots. I hit the majority of the greens, except when I went passed the green on the 4th, 7th, 8th, and 9th hole. I was hitting my 7 iron like 150.
I need to work on determining my yardages after I'm warmed up. I need to go to a range that has clear yardage markers once with a large bag of balls.

Mill Cove 5/7/13 122
So yesterday I went to play Mill Cove, and I didn't do so well. I didn't warm up and there was somebody behind me the whole time so I didn't take practice swings and I felt rushed.
I also lost a of balls.... total score was 122. I was content that I finished every hole but the 18th. I knew hit my approach shot, but I'm not sure where it went. I bogeyed the last two holes, 8 & 9, so that was a good thing. I did a good job with my 30 yard shots, but I have a hard time to keep the ball from rolling off the green with flopping the shot.
My drives were horrible, the slice was really bad. However, my par 3s and T-shots with the utility club were decent.
The next time I go to the range I'm going to work on a stronger grip to prevent the slice. Putts longer than 20 paces, and 4 & 5 Iron shots...
