SAM WEINMAN
MADDI MacCLURG
LUKE KERR-DINEEN
NOTES:
Every aspect of my game is better than it was, yet some avoidable mistakes continue to hold me back.

NOTES:
Driver is typically my strength but now my biggest weakness. Working to control the direction and have a stock shot in time for my match with Sam.
NOTES:
Flamed out of the Golf Digest match-play tournament in first round for the third-straight year. But at least I now have an official Handicap Index. Struggling with consistency but the good shots are getting better.

NOTES:
My driving is good. My iron game is extremely good. Yet, watching seemingly everyone I play golf with hit the ball past me has plunged me into an existential spiral. I'm rattled, and not sure what to do next.
