Toast of Champagne

played a round with the Champagne brothers this weekend...Steve and Mike, got whopped by Steve, who shot 71, a very close run at Magliozzi's 69 for the Champagne's annual family shootout (note: steve made double on the 4th hole); my play was mediocre at best, got off to a poor start with a three putt on one and then went bogey, double, bogey, birdie, birdie to start the back nine (not consistent to say the least), finished with a 77 (+6)

one thing i know about myself is that pre-game preparation is very important to my success on the golf course, including a good sleep, good breakfast, good warmup, and good on course nutrition...i think it can be the difference between a 72 and a 77

other notes: spent some time with Dick Harding on the putting green this weekend, a legend at Lexington, he has 6 club championship titles; i don't know Dick that well but I certainly admire his love for the game - he still plays and he is in his 90s; i told him i'm chasing down his record (i believe that its the most in club history), also exchanged some short game tips with Dr. Yusah - practice shot of the weekend was the hybrid chip shot

This coming week will be quiet on the blog as I prepare for the club championship - A LOT OF R&R and short practice sessions
