35th Street Loop/First Tee

I walked the 35th Street Loop this morning in 1:01:32.
I saw a Dustin Johnson swing in slow motion in a promo for the President's Cup, and it looked as if he were trying as hard as he could to keep his elbows as close together as possible throughout his swing. Hogan taught that, keeping the elbows together, but I'd never noticed anyone seemingly put such a pronounced effort into the attempt. I went to the range at First Tee and started taking slow-motion back swings full of the tension it took to keep my elbows together. I was killing the ball. I hit maybe fifteen shots, and then Bill Zhang, Jung Kim, and Steve Grace walked by on their way to play a second nine. I went with them and scored a 48 from the back tees, with 2 pars, 4 bogies, 2 doubles, and 1 quadruple. I used fourteen putts.
