Always good to see when players have a goal and use that goal as motivation to practice to get better and improve (aka the Morgan Cup participants). Good looking swing you still have there. Have you noticed any "feel" issues around the greens since coming back? That's usually the first thing to go...at least with me.

Check out some threads or posts from thepete. He's a Swedish player that plays tournament golf over there and has some really good tips and advise about what he's been doing with his own golf swing. He has been more than happy to give advice and comments on video that he sees or if you ask him to look at something. Great guy on the site.

Thanks, dude. I have always had a naturally "good looking" swing, which makes it even more difficult to decipher the little things that cause it to get out of whack.

As for feel issues, my first round I had issues (chipping, not putting) and since then my chipping has actually saved by butt a lot of the time. I have been hitting some pretty impressive shots after leaving myself in terrible positions. My game from 100 yards and in though is where I see the huge drop off...I need to work on my visualization to help me to get it back to being a little more precise. That is what I do with chipping, and it seems to work.

I'm familiar with thepete (bright green pants in his avi, right?), I will check his threads out. Thanks for the tip.
