Shigaboo Golf

The Masters has just finished and now everyone is ready to get their own game on.  This week I hit the range four times trying to get that ball to go right-to-left instead of left-to-right. Kazu has taken the “reset button” approach and resolved to start from the beginning. So far, I think it was a good call. He has gotten rid of his crazy “not quite a shank” shot to the right while getting completely under the ball with his clubface pointed toward Mars. We decided to scrap the super compact backswing and work on a more traditional backswing. So far it looks promising. We’ll see how it goes out on the course though, its always up in the air when its the real thing.

Kazu's new backswing!

I guess Thursday evenings at Monterey Park Golf Course is the busy day because it was completely packed.

Looks like golf season is in full effect now. Kazu got a tee time for Diamond Bar G.C. yesterday at 2:37pm for his bro Jun, Wally, and myself. It was the last day of the heat wave; blue skies, plenty of Shiseido sunscreen, which makes you look like a ghost, and Wally’s trusty bucket-O-ice water.  I don’t think any one of us played very well but it was a good day to work out all those kinks that seem to develop after not playing for a few months. I expect everyone to be back on their game within the next 2 or 3 outings.

The Masters starts this Thursday and that always seems to get people in the mood to hit the fairways. Tiger definitely seems to be on his game, though. We’ll see the drama unfold this weekend.

I think I need to start hitting the driving range again; the putting green too.
