A New Low

Losing the Ryder Cup by a mere half-point should push Americans to "up" our games as we recognize there is no respite when the rest of the world enjoys seeing us lose.

I've been making lots of small adjustments to my game, now that we're post-Labor Day and shouldn't be wearing white on the golf course. By the way, that's my driver on the left.

Some family is coming in for Race Weekend in Charlotte (and my daughter's birthday), so as you can see, the posts are coming less frequency, with fewer political rants, acerbic as they may be.

Pardon my mixed metaphor, but the snowball/butterfly effect of bloggers with empathy for the Tea Party seems to be coming to fruition, a fruition often vulgarized beyond recognition.  As Tom Petty once sang, even the losers get lucky sometime.

So anyway, since we bloggers only talk about important stuff, I can report that I've made seven birdies in my last two rounds after making a slight change with my putting grip.  Five of the birdies came during my new low round at my home course (all-time low is 70), when I lipped out for eagle at 18.  In addition, I now have four consecutive rounds in the 70's  (78-79-72-79) and my index should be dropping back to around 8.  We'll see if the streak continues next week.  The lessons are working!
