Congratulations to Misha Belter for winning the 2024 Mattawa Golf and Ski Resort Club Championship. Misha’s path to victory was through three tough opponents. Each match went to at least 17 holes and Misha found a way to win each time.

But now it is time go get back into the swing of things and to sharpen my game before some upcoming tournaments. The question is how and how much time do I dedicate to my game and still enjoy doing other things with my darling wife. Well, that is easy or at least I think it is.

I feel like I am all over the place and no matter what I try I cannot get comfortable over the ball. It is a failing of mine, but over the years of struggling, I found a solution that works for my game. Sometimes I can regain my swing quickly and others it takes a few holes.
