NOTES:
For all the fundamental improvements in my game, the fact that I am scoring about the same suggests I am not nearly as mentally sharp as I need to be. Whether it’s a combination of nerves, a short-attention span, or delusion, this needs to be a real area of focus in the future

NOTES:
Feeling as good as one can about a 32.7 Handicap Index. Hitting the ball well and not losing my cool after a bad shot or two. I’ve been able to hold my own against fellow Golf Digest employees and am cautiously optimistic about our upcoming Seitz Cup tournament. Hope I’m not jinxing it…
