Progress Update – April 15, 2007

Since part of the reason for this website is to track my progress, I guess I should post some progress updates. It’s hard for me to toot my own horn, especially when it sounds more like a Bronx cheer right about now. But nonetheless, I’m going to try to post weekly status every Sunday.

That’s going to make me have to play more precise shots into the greens or risk tougher, longer putts than I’m used to. Onward!
