Best photo ever?

Taken during this year's Ryder Cup in Whales. Tiger duffed the shot, which shattered the photographer's lens. Also, the 'Cigar Guy' on the right is the best part. Apparently, he has inspired hundreds of Halloween costumes, all around the world.

Golf Quotes: Part 1

"Perfect confidence and a calm mind are necessary for the success of every stroke."

"Imagine the ball has little legs, and chop them off."

"Feel the club head and let it swing you."

"Let go of the pressure of the outcome."

"It’s not about who hits it the best, but who misses the least."

"Hit the second ball, first."

Round: Green Harbor

4 Players (Me, Geoff, Lynch, High School Chem Teacher Rob)
Pre-round practice: 2 min. putting.

Stepped up to the first tee, hit a long, diving hook to the left. Rob approached me and complimented on my swing. I told him I’d been playing 6 months and his eyes were buggin'. Solid off the tee on front 9. Not so much on back nine. Hit only 25% of fairways. My putting saved my score. I tied my all time low with 37. My mentality was completely different from last week, I saw my line, stepped up and executed. My speed and control was great. My chipping and pitching was much improved from previous weeks. I had a lot of chip and pitch shots from within 30 yards and executed some nicely. My irons were better than last week, still chunking some, I need to work on rotating on my spine axis, this will prevent me from dipping on the downswing.

Score: 96

Notables
Green-side chipping and putting.

Practice
Ball-striking with irons. Less sway with my lower body on the backswing.
