So as there's really nothing in do in Florence other than enjoy the weather on teh weekends I have been playing a lot of golf. I play pretty much every Saturday I'm here. It is literally one of the most frustrating yet rewarding things I have ever done.

The disparity between good an bad shots is what really gets me. For example I make what I think is pretty much the same swing every time. That is I don't really think about anything just swing the club and see what happens. And this can produce wildly different results. Two subsequent swings can produce a ball violently sliced into the woods never to be found and a crushed 3 wood to within 10 feet of the pin from 205 yards out.

Needless to say this round was a microcosm for my season. I started out in May shooting 89. I thought "Man this will be awesome if I'm starting there." Thats my best score so far this year. Today I shot 60 in 9 holes, including one monster in which it took my 14 shots on a par 5 to put the ball in the hole. On the back 9 I did feel like I made some adjustments that will help me going forward. We'll see about those next week.

Run was good. Had chipolte after the round and was feeling really heavy when I started. But ended up feeling rather empty by the end. So that was weird.
