It’s been a week of fairly consistent practice, hopefully some of it smart. Coach’s comments : CB has gotten a little too much in to out, but I think he understands what he needs to do to fix it. [I certainly hope he understands any of this.] Good putting with Rob. Especially with $ on the…
Leading up to this tournament it has been a very wet week, but good practicing nonetheless, I think. Coach worked with both boys on Routine : visualize, stand back, practice swing, trust the shot………. Of course excellent advice and fundamental to success – just needs to be actually implemented ! CB can talk the talk…
I drove both boys around for a practice round – it’s a nightmare game sometimes. Rob crying after 1st drive, 2nd and 3rd – one after the other all off the first tee! All right into the woods. After hole 2 he is mad enough to erase the score to this point and declare we…
The boys practiced solidly this week. I think. They spent a couple of hours each day except Monday (and Friday for CB) out there. Perhaps I should be ensuring “smart practice” but there is a limit to my time (and honestly my patience). But their father is on my case about structuring and providing a…
We played a practice round – as one always should. No matter how prepared you think you are to start the round you’re probably not. Restroom, drinks, snacks ….. Oh yes, batteries for the GPS ……. not a good time to find out you need them on the first tee box. The fear and adrenaline…
Well today I’m on the bag for older son, CB – something I swore I would never do (and think CB would second that motion). But here we are, and I am quite determined this will be peaceful and happy – or as near as possible ! The truth is that I have never caddied…
Oh my God !!!!! We are on the practice range and I have already told him he is in danger of going out there by himself – as in no caddy. No respect. Back chat. Bad attitude. Gratitude and happy thoughts are how good things happen – and nothing good is happening out on the…
Full swing what do you mean? You gave me two terrible calls on the first two shots !!! It’s very difficult to be a caddy. Rob is volatile to say the least and I have learned that the best approach to this is to say as little as possible and remember that this too shall pass…
The Day Before: I’m nervous for sure, but the bar is set very low for this boy! No practice at all this week and the one trip to his coach today resulted in the following feedback: Rob didn’t hit many good shots, so the yardages he gave you were basically from one good shot with each club….
