Journal
Lynn, Sure looking forward to your journal for paractice.
When I was playing for the University Of Arkansas, Approx
41 years ago, I kept a journal. At times I would supprise
the other players by making the team on tryouts after playing
some bad golf before. One day, a couple of team member came to
me and asked how I played so well during the tryout. I said
that I went back to my journal and found my mistakes.

Even today, I keep a journal, with number of balls hit and
what I was working on with results. I rank the sessions with
stars. Zero is so so day. 5 stars is something special that
I learned. When I play in a tournment, I keep the names of
the players that I played with and their score as well as mine.
Don't know the value, but over the years I find that I can go
back and find some interesting people that I played with but
had forgotten their names. When my father was in business
I learned a valuable trick from him. He would date all business
cards that he received. He then kept the cards in a file. When
a salesman came in, my dad would pull their card from the file
and tell the saleman when he was last in without the salesman
knowning that had looked at the card. Real one upmonship.

Your organizaton for the Journal seems better than mine, more
focused. Sure will be looking forward to getting a copy.
