Sched for 2006

Ive made up a schedule of local Amateur Tournaments and Qualifiers for 2006. Ofcourse some (or most of these) are dependant on getting my handicap down 3 strokes in order to be able to apply to play. So we'll see!

heres the plan:

MGA THE IKE CHAMPIONSHIP
MGA PUBLIC LINKS CHAMPIONSHIP
MGA AMATEUR CHAMPIONSHIP
MGA OPEN CHAMPIONSHIP
U.S.G.A Mid-Amateur (quailifer)
Long Island GA Open Championship
Long Island GA Amateur Championship
Long Island GA Public Links Championship
Long Island GA Amateur Stroke Play Championship
NYSGA Men's Mid-Amateur
NYSGA Men's Amateur Championship

So thats a big list and it might not happen if I cant get my intial goal completed.

But Ive anaylized my rounds and can see where I can improve.

The biggest things im going to work on this winter are:

conditioning (strength/Stretching)
putting (trying to practice short putts in my room)
range work

on the range im working on the following thoughts:

complete a good turn on my driver for good distance and accuarcy
good solid firm acceleration on driver and Irons (good tempo)
good accleration on chips
working in good wrist hinge on wedges and acceleration

As the fall has progressed Ive been happy with the way Ive taken thse thoughts to the course...especially in my short game

My putting has become more solid too thinking about a good foolow throught and acceleration.

I might try to play one last round on the Black Course tomorrow so we'll see if I go out.

My last round was an 84 on the blackand I was hitting the ball terribly off the tee. My even tho I didnt get up and down tha tmuch to save par (cold hard greens didnt help!) my chipping was good with no flubs and good aggressive runs at the hole. My putts were all good attempts and we all past the hole burning the rim a number of times.

This was like in Florida. Good solid strokes will keep my going for my birdies and solids pars and will eventually start to drop more.

I think if I can get back into a good solid tempo off the tee I cant knock some strokes off, althought its cold now so the ball isnt flying at all.

Making a tough course almost impossible to score on!

More tommmow!
