USA vs CANADA round 1

I know its been awhile since i posted and I apologize for that but with all my computer problems fixed...im back!! Let me help you catch up with my last month of golf....chunky, thin, fat, good shots (not always in that order)!! Last week I switched to an overlap grip and have really been concentrating on turning through the shots and the range sessions have been way better. So I was super excited to put my talents on display in todays round of golf. Little did I know I was in for one of the best days on the golf course and I didnt hit many good shots till the last few holes. A few weeks ago I had seen that Canadian Tour Qschool was this week in Palm Springs at Desert Dunes golf course. Since my parents live close I figured I would come up and watch a couple of my twitter friends in action Bill Ranson (golferbill) and Todd Halpen (swinkeytodd). Unfortuneately niether ended up competing in the event but my trip was planned so Todd had mentioned we should play a round of golf. My first thought was "Ive never played golf with a pro!!" and my second thought was, "wow he has no idea how horrible my game is!!". Obviously when you have an opportunity to play a round with a tour player, you have to say yes and hope you dont have the worst round of your life. Im not sure if you've ever met someone in person that you've only talked to over the internet, but its kinda weird and nerve racking. What if this person isnt as cool in person as he is online, what if he smells, annoying, ect. Those are all things you have to think about when your gonna go spend 3 or 4 hours together. Luckily for me Todd was NONE of the above. Hes not only a great player, but he was super down to earth and willing to help me with all my faults during the round. I never realized how outta wack my alignment and setup was until Todd helped me straighten it out. We didnt score the round due to me not hitting a golf shot until the 15th hole, but I learned alot and am super excited to get out to the range tomm and work on all the things Todd told me today. But it wont just be another day at the range because now I have a Swinkey training aide (www.swinkey.com) . Its amazing how great it is for your game whether your a 20handicapper or a tour player. I cant wait to see how much my game improves and I will definitley be keeping you guys posted. I also became a huge fan of Kikkor golf shoes today (kikkor.com). The look is amazing and they are super comfy. Dont waste your money any more on shoes that are gonna kill your feet. Kikkor is the future of golf shoes!! One last thing I wanted to leave you with is the SAUCE PASS!!! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhJ6ZB8koIo&feature=player_embedded) If you are a hockey fan you know what im talking about. Leave it to these crazy canucks to come up with a way to bring hockey into golf. When you see it in person its amazing how good the results are when used correctly. Just goes to show that golfers that its not how you get there its how you finish. Check out this link and watch the SAUCE in action. I saw today on a couple of holes and Im now a believer!!
