Ken Down on Golf I’m down on my game right now. Just down. Haven’t been playing well, and I’m not totally sure why. I know the sway is still in there — still part of my problem — and knowing it’s there and not being able to shut it off pisses me off, which probably makes … Read more
Glacier and the Bridges: A Golf Weekend, August 22–23 Jake won a raffle for a foursome at Glacier — the Valley Course near Durango, normally $250 a round, landed for just over $400 for all four of us. That kind of deal doesn’t come around often, so Friday we drove to Montrose, then got up … Read more
I’ve been around a long time. Grew up in Colorado Springs move to the Denver metro area after college. Played a few courses around Colorado. Below is a list by region with some recaps based on personal experience. Denver Metro Colorado Springs Area Southern Colorado Western Slope / Mountains Nevada/Utah Out of State Want to … Read more
Got to the course a little early to hit the range, like I always do. Warming up loosens up the body — helps more at my age. The range session was solid, though I’ve learned not to read too much into it. I’ve had great range sessions and then played terrible, and bad range sessions … Read more
Played an early afternoon round on August 9th with Lucas and a couple randoms. Started off a little slow but with some solid drives, but true to form lately, it took a few holes to really get going. Hole 1: Doubled it — slow start. Hit a tree on a chip, that didn’t help. Hole … Read more
August 5 — South Suburban, 9 holes Played the usual nine with the boys on Wednesday. Hadn’t had a real round for a while, guess I’d count the lessons a week ago — just some garage/simulator sessions in between. Overall feel: Still can’t put it all together consistently. I’ll nail one thing on one shot, … Read more
Got to my lesson on time and did a few warm-ups. Caught up with Chris about how things were going and talked about the rounds I’d played lately. He asked how I’d been hitting it — told him it’s been a mixed bag: played really well in Kansas, not great at home, then better, and … Read more
Golf is a crazy game — it’s amazing how different a round can be from one day to the next. Same person, same clubs, same balls, different course, could that be why, don’t know, whatever. Anyway, much better round this day than yesterday. Actually hit some good shots and scored a little better — not … Read more
9 holes at Kennedy Creek, July 21st Not a lot of good things to say after playing so well last week in KS. Just didn’t have it today — no pars, a couple doubles, a triple, and honestly wasn’t sure what I was doing out there. Just fell out of whack. It was a super … Read more
Tuesday, July 14th — Golf in KC One of my best rounds of the year. Played Lake Quivira Country Club in Kansas with my brother-in-law — a pretty tough course where I usually don’t play well, see some of my other rounds here. Today was the exception. I hit the ball really well overall: good … Read more
