This past weekend I slammed smack dead into that wall called reality. I played in the Virginia State Amateur qualifier at Kingsmill on their woods course (not the River that the LPGA plays on) and to be kind to myself it was not pretty. I have got my handicap index down to 7.3 from a [...]
Well the tournament season started for this Rotary swinger on Tuesday the 21st and unfortunately it didn’t go as well as planned. Not too bad but not the results me and my partner were hoping for, we carded an 81 in the VA state 4 ball qualifier, I am an 8 handicap and my partner [...]
Today I am very nervous and very excited at the same time. The Viginia State Golf Association has posted it’s 2009 tournament schedule and now that there are actual dates for the tournaments that I want to play in I am both excited and nervous. I am excited b/c this is my very first step [...]
The Rotary Swing and the instruction provided by Chuck Quinton is the way to go… period. I have taken lessons from professionals my whole life and have never really noticed any improvement after any of them. Always hitting the ball the same and shooting the same scores. Every year I have the same goal in [...]
Well the golf season is slowing working its way to an end for me. I live in the southern VA area and we are getting the occasional 60* day still but the season is basically over. Normally the onset of cold weather has me feeling a little down and restless because I can’t play golf [...]
Played in my club’s weekly tournament and had another step forward in my journey. Now my score doesn’t reflect how well I feel I played (82) but it was 44* degrees when I teed off and I didn’t get into the sun until about the 7th hole. I got on the bogey train for those [...]
Well I have gone on and on about my lesson with Chuck and how awesome it went and that the key point was that I had ZERO shoulder turn (believe it the one on the right is at the top of my old backswing) and since I started doing the 185 slow motion swings working [...]
Well I tried it. I strutted into Gold’s gym at 0530 this morning with my 7 iron in hand and went up to the yoga room, which is has wall to wall mirrors, and proceeded at my attempt to make it through Chuck’s 300 slow motion golf swings. I was only able to make it [...]
Well my journey to greatness hit a little bump in the road yesterday. I had my first poor round in a couple weeks…shot 86 (gave myself a bogey on the last hole because we didn’t finish too dark). Thing is I really did not hit the ball bad but the biggest disappointment was that I [...]
Posted on 13 October 2008 I do now!!! Well I don’t know where to start…I guess I can say that it is a good thing that I listened to Ray and changed the name of this blog from 12 months to greatness to journey to greatness because it only took 4 days Quick background…I [...]
When I wrote this I was done. I had no confidence and was utterly embarrassed to hit a ball in front of anyone. So posting my sequence for all to see was a very big first step for me. Posted 9 October 2008 This is the most difficult thing I have done in a long [...]
I am copying all my posts from the blog section in the forum over to here. This is how the journey started… 9 October 2008 For the last 2 years I have been playing some really good golf. Shooting mainly in the low 80′s to mid 70′s mainly from the blue tees mixing the tips [...]
HELLO WORLD! No I am not tiger woods (yet) but I feel like him now after Chuck Quinton and all the fine members of Rotary Swing Golf forum saved my golfing life! You see…I am you. If you are at this site than you love golf. Whether you are a 30 handicap or a plus handicap I know you [...]
