I feel that Chappy called the Adv. @ Rosedale in perfect time. The storm rolled in so quick..

I agree, my card was able to get to our cars before the rain came and before I remember seeing any lightning.

Nice start to the tournament.

Sarah Hokom and CJ did a great job running a juniors clinic for all 4 attendees today.  They were both very patient and helpful with the kids.

By the way, I thought Swope looked awesome today, can't wait to get out there!

Sounds like the Memphis/KU National Championship game.

Peter's post was my favorite in the thread until this one.

Must of been thinking of my company's tryout last year or maybe that is how I scored so well!  Hope to see you out there Sunday Dan.

We played a mando on #15 last year.  Is that in play this year?

I know 14 and 18 were short pads last year and I think 5 and 11 were as well.

You know it is a tough league when the guy who finished 9th out of 126 advanced golfers at the GBO can only place 10th out of 11 in his own league.

Looked like a good showing overall for the KC crew out there.  Congrats to everyone that finished in the money!

I am coaching soccer practice on Friday nights until May 3.  After the 3rd, Legacy League sounds like a great Friday evening activity.

Palmer, Legacy is no match for you and your Boss.

I wish I was headed to Emporia or Augusta right now.  Instead, I am stuck in a cubicle in Overland Park.  Horrible

Good luck to everyone playing in the GBO!

Cooper, Sheet 35 of the Phill league post has Dan's compilation of all league scores from 2007 through 10/2011.  This is what Dan had for records:

Low round before course re-config: 39 on 3/9/2008 Leo DaPrato/Steve Dresser, 3/16/2008   Leo DaPrato/Otto Spiers, 3/16/2008 Heberto Villarreal/Cali

Low round after course re-config: 39 on 6/13/2010 Ken Franks/Mike Davis

Great work Dan for keeping all of those stats!

I agree with Mike and Jordan's assessment, practice YOUR technique and have confidence in what YOU do.

As far as technique I use:
1. Deep breath before putting
2. Smile and act like I am at home practicing my putt with my daughter.
3. Direct all energy to one chain link, let it go, and don't worry about the results.

No wind or with the wind, I picture dropping it in the basket like a free throw.

Against wind, I remember what Jake told me, put a little spin on it.

One video that I like is Paul McBeth's video in his apartment.  He taped the chains together and putted from about 30 ft.  What I thought was interesting is how he hardly needs the chains or even the pole.  He was just dropping them right into the basket.
