After 3 hours instruction and lunch yesterday I played the first 9 holes here at Cuscowilla under supervision of Yoda. Nice course. It started bad on the 2 first holes - it seemed like all the hard work was for nothing. I fell into my bad habits again. I needed some talking to and at hole 3 I got my first par. From then off it was mostly good ( for me that is ). 3 more GIR and 2 of them par. It could have been better, but I'll take it for now rusty as I am. Thanks Yoda.
Here's a photo of Air lining up his birdie putt on the par 3 third hole at Cuscowilla. He attacked a dangerously cut left pin with a six-iron, and his shot landed less than 15 feet from the cup.
Unfortunately, like the "two birds in the bush", this one got away. But not for lack of a bold effort. In fact, Air had to jam home a five-foot knee-knocker to get his well-deserved three!
I'm leaving tomorrow. So I had my last lessons today in warm and beautiful conditions. It's not very likely that I'll ever come back - but you never know...
Back to the snow, but in a month's time I think the winter will lose its grip for good.
I'll miss this place for sure. But it's not just the place - it has much more to do with Yoda. He has given me more than I could hope for golfwise and in other ways. I'm looking forward to seeing the video. And if alignments are forever, I'll be forever grateful that you have shown them to me in your inspirational way of teaching. Thank you very much!!

It was my privilege to work with you, Air, and I am a better teacher because you were here. From our individual perspectives, I learned as much from you as you learned from me.
