The Power Fade Golf Blog

This week’s play of the week is…..ME! I’ve finally conquered the golf swing. 5 straight rounds without a lost ball, and on Saturday (4/16) I hit my 5th hole-in-one–161 yards with an 8-iron. I also holed out from the fairway on a par 5 for eagle, and nearly slam-dunked another ace on the next par 3. If only I could’ve putted and chipped half as good as I did at the end of last year, this would’ve been my low round by far. As it is, the round wasn’t all that spectacular. Oh, except for my 5th ace!

I wish I could say it was pure as the driven snow, but, unfortunately…the exchange went something like this:

Me: “Oh no, that’s off the toe….Get up over that bunker!”
Friend: “You made it, it’s on the green.”
Me: “OK. Hey, did that go in?”
Friend: “I don’t know. I saw it land, and I don’t see it now, so, it must’ve gone in”

Well, I take them how I get them. So, here’s to me. I rule. Kind of.
