The Slice is Back

So it's been some time between posts but that doesn't mean I haven't been hitting the ball around the course.

Over the last week and half I've played about 36 holes but most of that was in the prior week.  I really feel that I should be much further ahead in my game but here are a couple of things I have to remove to find more time:

1. Job.  This really gets in the way.  How can I make it to the driving range when I work from 8 to 5?  
2. Wife and Kids.  Wow, it's amazing how you have to consistently come home every day and can't go on vacation just to play some golf.
3. Driving Range.  Why is it in Albuquerque there are ZERO night driving ranges?  Last ball at 5:30?  Seriously?  I think I might have found a possibly business opportunity here.
4. Money.  $30 for nine holes.  That is a little on the spendy side.
5. Thirst.  After 9 holes I'm really thirsty and there are no bars at any place I've played yet.  

So what are my chances of competing and beating the Bachelor in Vegas.  Well, that depends on how fast I can fix this driver problem.  If I can push the ball at a consistent 300 then I think I can beat the Bachelor.  Problem:  The ball goes 200 yards straight and then veers for another hundred to the left.  So how can I fix this problem?  YouTube.  Below are some of my favorite videos so far:

I'm playing 9 at ADO tomorrow with D Fresh and then hopefully another 9 with the Wop at 3pm.  I know I'll need a warm up sometime in the week but unfortunately I have to work.   I think I'm feeling sick, ...around Tuesday ...afternoon.
