    Season 1. Tournament 9 : Season Championship – A Good Day

    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…

    Season 1. Tournament 8: A Long Way from Brilliant

    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…

    Season 1. Tournament 6 – Finding a Holistic Approach

    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…

    Season 1. Tournament 5 – Regional Tournament

    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…

    Season 1. Tournament 4: Affirmations, Self-Destruction and Sucking

    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…

    Season 1. Tournament 3: Angels everywhere

    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…

    Season 1. Tournament 2: Difficult

    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…
