Made my Tenth Career Ace!

 I made my tenth hole in one of my career at Riverplace CC on Thursday, 10/30/25.  I had just eagled the par 4, 11th hole, then followed it up with an ace on the par 3, 12th.

Key Positions in my Golf Swing

 My swing is taking shape and you can see the key positions I look at.  Do I think of all these positions during the swing?  The answer is no.  I have worked on each of these key positions over the years.  My basic swing thought doesn’t really alter much…turn left shoulder behind the ball then keep back to the target on the downswing.  The usual result is a slight draw.

Visualization is Key

Learning to visualize your shot is easy with practice.  Visualization should be part of your pre-swing process.

 

Short Game Shot Selection

I prefer to bring the ball in low on windy days.
