Subject: 1 under on the last 7 holes

Played for the 3rd time this summer.
Started out ok..... even par after 5.
Then had a buzzard (8) on 6 and bogey on 8 and 9 for a 42 on the front nine.
Bogey on 10 and double bogey on 11 to go 9 over after 11 (ain't looking
good).
Then I had a revelation and told Mrs Ringer I was not going to think score
and just try to make a "textbook" swing the rest of the round.
I hit the ball almost perfect the remaining 7 holes while thinking
"textbook" swing.
I finished par, par, par, par, par, par, birdie for a score of 1 under on
the last 7 holes. Hit everything right down the middle and at the flag.
(finished with an 80)
I'm gonna play tomorrow and keep the "textbook" swing thought for the entire
round.

Ah, it must be football season already. God, it must suck to live in
Alabama this time of year. Or any other time, come to think of it.
You'd better watch out. This afternoon I went by to visit the Oldest
Member in his office (the end of the driving range) to tell him a joke.
While he extolled the skills of The Slammer, Sam Snead (who he ranks
2nd behind only Tiger on his GOAT list), I hit about 3 balls with his 6
iron. I could only take half swings since I was so stiff (and fat),
but all three of them were well struck with a slight draw. "Like
riding a fuckin bike, " I told him. "I still got it."
I've got a bad case of shingles goin on in my shoulder right now, but
once that stops hurting, I may actually hit a whole bucket. Then I'll
be ready to wax that old ass for ya.
Here's the joke I shared with The Oldest Member:
=======================================
An 80-year-old man went to his doctor for his annual check-up.
The doctor asked him how he was feeling.
The 80-year-old said, "I've never felt better. I now have a
20 year-old bride who is pregnant with my child. What do you
think about that?"
The doctor considered his question for a minute and then began.
"I have an older friend, much like you, who is an avid trophy
hunter and never misses a season. One day, when he was going
out hunting, he was in a bit of a hurry and accidentally picked up
his walking cane instead of his gun. When he got to the creek, he
saw a prime beaver sitting beside the stream of water.
He raised his cane and went 'bang, bang'. Suddenly, two shots
rang out and the beaver fell over dead. What do you think
of that?"
The 80-year-old said, "I'd say somebody else pumped a couple
of rounds into that beaver."
The doctor replied, "My point exactly."

A "gimme" can best be defined as an agreement between
two golfers neither of whom can putt very well.

Last time I tried that it cost me a few thousand bucks. My swing was
so bad I got a new camcorder.

Got a little too flat at Hampton Cove. At least one perfect swing (or
me) on that par that I birdied!

If I had your sense on the golf course, and played within my
capabilities like you do, I would score a lot better. I tend to get
quick, and it goes downhill from there. I also do not putt anywhere
near as well as you, but the idea of finding a spot on the green just
in front of the ball and rolling it over that spot helps me when I do
it.

I think we need to video your new swing and let Da Ringer and R&B see it.
It is not smooth and fluid at the moment but as with all new things, it will
come around. Flatter than a pancake at the moment.
But I would kill Annika1980 for your short game. Heck, I would kill him
just for the fun of it.

I've been thinking about taking the ol' video cammie out and taping my
swing.
But honestly, I'm afraid to look.

I understand -- I have never seen my swing & I think it's best not taping
it.....

Congrats -- I know the feeling --- I've been struggling for the last couple
weeks & tonight I started our league match bogey, triple, double before I
recognized that I had moved my left hand about 1/2" to the right -- a fault
I've had before but for some reason -- stupidity? --- I always seem to be
slow to recognize.
Result? 5 pars & a birdie -- I then made the turn & turned in 9 straight
pars in the rain.
What a great game it is on some nights....

Y'know, Rob, for all the disagreements we've had over the years here in RSG,
I've always admired your golf swing. Smooth and fluid. I always thought
you should score better than you do, and have never quite understood why you
don't. With your tempo and smooth swing, you should be nobody's bee-atch.

I agree. Rob has a fine swing and a decent short game.
