I have been struggling for a while now. I just can't get the club to point at the target consistently at the top of the backswing. It is laid off always.
The first 9-holes was an absolute nightmare. I didn't have any pars and shot 45. Something must have clicked on #17 though. I made birdie on that hole and started to turn things around.
The second 9-holes was much better. I had 3 birdies and a bogey, shooting 34 for a total of 79. If someone would have told me I was going to shoot 79 today like that, I probably would have laughed at them. It was just such and up and down day.

Golf Round Today
Today was a good day. I played at Miami Whitewater Forest Golf Course in Harrison, Ohio. That course is in great shape! The greens are fabulous there (considering they were not so good last year).
Getting to my round...it was a good one, except for one hole. I was -2 for 17 holes, but ended up shooting 74. I took an 8 on hole #7. I hit my tee shot in the trees, took a penalty shot. My third shot was right of the green leaving myself short-sided. There was absolutely no room to work with. I tried a high flop shot, but ended up short of the green. My second chip was duffed...then I got upset and just hit the next on one the green. I ended up two-putting the green for an 8. I went from -1 coming into the hole and left that hole +3.
Other than that hole, I played pretty well. I hit 14 greens, had 31 putts and ended up with 6 birdies. This round gives me loads of confidence going into the US Public Links Championship Qualifier on June 18.
