I can see clearly now

For what good it does me.  Man, you would have laughed your ass off. I wore my new Rx sunglasses today and had one bogey, nothing better, and didn't get that until #9. I haven't added it up but it pushed 60 - seriously. My eyes and my brain were fighting it out. I was making smooth swings but the ball would come off pretty much any part of the clubhead. When I hit anywhere near the sweet spot the shots were good but there were tops, hosels, toes and even a whiff from the middle of the fairway. I need some range work with the glasses on for sure to get it worked out. I can see so much better with them on. The brain just doesn't believe it. I probably should have given them at least a couple of hours before walking on course. Basically, the trip home from the optical shop was the extent of my getting used to them. |

Hmmmm, this doesn't bode well for Bandon. We can't have both of us playing like that.
Get to the range.

Oh, I will. And if I can't figure it out I'll play without them. I'm hopeful it's just a matter of a couple of buckets. I'll tell you what though, I couldn't even get mad today. It was simply comical. I haven't scored that poorly in a few years. |

Only ONE quad? Lately I've been hoping for only one double per nine. Tosser. Stipulated, counselor. |

Index goes up 0.1 due to top-10 differential falling off the back end.
Sandbagger? Not according to the USGA but I don't like it. Never have. I think there are valid circumstances where 'declaring' a practice round makes sense. This be one.

Well, would you, Funk? LOL. Of course, but vanity bagging doesn't have negative associations. It's a tough thing to be sure. If I'd shot a good score I think it would have been confirmation the glasses didn't affect me negatively. Therefore, no reason to disqualify the score. I've posted it. It counts. I don't dispute that. I just don't like it. |

Always. It's who you are. First range session as a four-eyes under my belt today at lunch. I think I'm fairly well sorted at this point. One more session as insurance before Sunday round. |

The hardest part about adjusting to glasses for me is getting used to the way it *fudge*s with your depth perception. I spend the first 4-5 days with a new prescription tripping over *feces* that's not there. |

The good thing about getting old, is that you can hit the ball out of sight.
