Hot and Humid week

Well its definitely been a long week.  Its started with a nice day spent with friends for the holiday, but on Tuesday, it was back to the course.  As I am sure you all saw on the news, we had a wall of dust come through the area the other night, before that it was just plain muggy, add on a golf course and its lakes and sprinklers and it make for a rough round.  I played the big course this week.  Its big and wide, but there is no shade at all.  Its a fun course to play, don't get me wrong, but I prefer the shady narrow fairways at Heron Lakes.  Coyote Run is definitely challenging, With my tendency to hit right, it wasn't even an issue, the fairways are so wide that just about anyone can hit the ball in play, but its a very long course, and on a hot humid day, it didn't make for a lot of enjoyment.

This morning i was back at Heron Lakes playing with the guy i usually go out there with, It was another hot, humid morning, but with the shade it wasn't too bad.  I had a rough round today, for some reason I couldn't manage to sink a single putt, but on a positive note, my drives and approach shots are getting better.  I will get it all together here eventually.  I have slowed down my swing by about 50 percent and have gained a ton of control, but it has hurt my distance, only driving just short of 200 with any control.  I don't like that so much, but can accept it if it makes me better.  I am taking the weekend off, but have been invited to join a group Monday morning, so I will be right back at it.  Have a great weekend.       Mike
