I walked the Emerson Drive loop twice in 28:21, beginning no more than 10 minutes after driving in from golf. I jogged about a quarter of a mile.
Yesterday and last night I picked up two tips while watching the Buick Invitational from Torrey Pines: keep everything still except the shoulders on putts; the other came from a commercial. Two guys stood on a tee box. One looked frustrated. The other said, "You know all that stuff you've been working on? Forget it. Just swing."
Also, Nick Faldo said John Rollins, who choked away a three stroke lead on the back nine to lose to Nick Watney, lost 30 pounds last year and struggled with his swing, and has only recently found a stroke to match his new frame. "I've read that as little as a three-percent change in body weight can significantly affect the swing," Faldo said.
I got three hours sleep last night, got up at 6:10 a.m., and teed off at Rebsamen at 7:09. I scored a 91, with nines of 47 and 44. I drove, pitched, and chipped as well as I have; used 31 putts, and averaged 233.33 yards on nine drives, with a max of 286 (with about a 30 mph tailwind). I hit 266 on No. 18 with a side wind. I hit three balls into the water. I had 5 pars, 9 bogies, 3 doubles, and one quadruple. My game remains fragile, and will forever more I imagine. I guess that's true of everyone's game. Today it was fairly intact.
