Trying to fix major pulls
Yesterday evening, after being demolished by my former ATM machine and buddy Marius from Sumi-G and also by my pal Arnie, I decided I need to work on my swing. You can’t bring your B or C game into this group like I have been lately or you’ll be shelling out dollars like you’re at a strip club in Vegas and you’ve had way too many drinks.
I’ve been pulling the hell out of my irons, major. For instance I pulled a sand wedge 30 yards left with a draw yesterday. When I set up over the ball my blade looks closed. Two pals have told me my shoulders and upper body are rotating left of the target at impact, where my hands and swing plane follow. So I have a closed blade and a hard left swing plane. That results in left left left.

My Dad and I win the Father’s Day tournament
I’m happy to announce a victory for me and my Dad in this year’s father/son tournament at his great club. We struggled all day and missed many putts by just inches. My swing was mess and I missed many iron shots badly. We didn’t know it but we were tied for the lead going into the final hole, despite our feelings that we weren’t playing up to our ability level.
Our last hole was a par-5 which we almost reached in two. My Dad chipped from about 10 yards off the green. The ball checked perfectly, then released like a putt. It took the right-to-left break perfectly and softly fell into the cup for EAGLE. I ran up and high-fived my Dad. It was the highlight of our day. We ended up winning the thing by two shots. That eagle made the difference!
This marked one of many father/son tourneys my Dad and I have either won or placed in. We weren’t expecting to win based on how bad we felt about our individual games but we ham and egged it well. These tournaments are very enjoyable for me.

Graeme McDowell is the 2010 US OPEN champ
A few thoughts before I hit the hay from a long weekend of golf, Father’s Day and the US OPEN.
Nobody seemed to want to win this thing. Everyone melted down. It seemed that the person who wanted to lose this thing the least won.
Gregory Havret was impressive and didn’t melt like I thought. He logged a solid 2nd place finish and could have sent the thing into a playoff if he could have birdied the final hole rather than parring it.
Graeme Mcdowell didn’t gag either. At least he gagged less than the rest of the field. Keeping his lunch down better than everyone else got him a US OPEN win.
