Reaching Par

Epiphany

If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em, right? So John Richrdson has already done what I am aiming to do (see breakingparblueprint.com) and as it would seem he has done it better. Oh well. I might as well learn from him what he has done. So, I checked out a tip he sent when I [...]

And…this has all been done before

Jared — Wed, 05 Oct 2011 03:34:15 +0000

I’m not sure whether to be disappointed or elated… You see, I got an email a few days back talking about a guy who made it from 100+ on 18 to par in 1 year. His name is John Richardson over in Ireland. I checked out his story and he has a book out “Dream [...]

Making Good Contact

Jared — Sun, 25 Sep 2011 05:07:23 +0000

In doing some research a while ago I ran across a study that essentially said that what helped people enjoy golf the most was solid ball contact. Well, that generally makes sense – we all keep coming back to the game because we crushed that one drive or smoked that long iron or something like [...]

What is your Best Round of Golf?

Jared — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 04:10:09 +0000

What constitutes a great round of golf? What was your best round of golf? That question has really evolved for me over time and I must say that what it means today is very different than what it meant for me as a teenager. I’m thinking specifically of a Father-Son outing for the high school [...]

Making Progress…

Jared — Fri, 09 Sep 2011 05:29:22 +0000

Saw a great article talking some more about the Mike Austin swing theory and it clarified some things for me. I saw the article through DJ Watt’s website and it can be found here. The author, Jerry Crowell clarified a couple of key points for me that are helping me progress. He explains very well the [...]

I want to make a putter

Jared — Fri, 02 Sep 2011 03:57:42 +0000

That’s right, make a new putter. Not assemble one from components, but truly make one. Since I don’t have a metal mill I am going to have to make one using wood. And, in case you didn’t know, there are companies out there that make wooden putters. Check these guys out: emberwoodputter.com. They have some very [...]

Revamping my swing

Jared — Thu, 01 Sep 2011 04:51:39 +0000

At the onset of this little project I decided I would try to use as much information available to me out on the net. My previous post indicated some of the things I had tried and been tempted to try. Well, this go around I decided to do some more searching and ran across a [...]

What haven’t I tried?

Jared — Sun, 28 Aug 2011 05:56:29 +0000

Frugality is an interesting word and there is a fine line between smart and thrifty use of money and down right cheapness. Well, I’ve never been great a distinguishing that line so I end up on the stupid cheap side waaaaay too often. Combining that with my gullibility that I can really “lose 30 strokes [...]

At Least It’s a Start

Jared — Sat, 20 Aug 2011 17:42:02 +0000

Yesterday I played a full round of 18 keeping my own score for the first time in a very very long time. I counted every shot – lost balls, water hazards, duffs, everything. And, it was… interesting to say the least. But, now I finally have a benchmark score to measure my improvement, and it [...]

Is Golf a Snooty Game?

Jared — Tue, 16 Aug 2011 02:10:01 +0000

Golf is a gentlemen’s game, or so they say. And, I do love it for the honesty required of the individual golfer. But, one thing I have grown to somewhat despise is that somehow a “gentlemen’s” game has turned into a “status” game – who has the best and latest equipment, who uses what ball, [...]
