Every round of golf provides some excitement for every golfer. Regardless of how well we play, there are always a shot or two (or more) that make us smile or frown depending on their complexity. During my last round of golf I had two situations worth mentioning because they demonstrate the highs and lows of my round. There were a few other shots that made me think, but for the most part these two stood out the most as I shot three over par 77. There are some teaching points here and they are worth sharing.

Well, it is March first and golf season is about six weeks away. I wish I could tell you that I am stoked for the upcoming season. Unfortunately, this year the fire is a bit slow to be lit.

So, my challenge today is to determine what to write about in order to fan the flames of passion. So, here it goes!
