Welcome to Mid-Range Swing. I’m a golfer in my late 50s who loves golf but faces the reality of a bad back and limited flexibility. If you’ve traded your "long game" for a "smart game" because your body doesn't turn like it used to, you’re in the right place. Join me for weekly round recaps where I break down my wins and misses on the course, plus content specifically designed for senior golfers. I’m a mid-to-high handicapper on a mission to lower my scores, and I’m taking you along for the ride. Let’s change our scores and not our swing. Check out my blogs: https://midrangeswing.com/

    E:12 The Back-Nine Grind: Putting Progress and Fairway Woods at Hampshire Greens

    In this episode, I’m breaking down my latest round at Hampshire Greens in Silver Spring, Maryland. Coming off a shaky week on the greens, the primary goal was finding a rhythm with the putter—and it finally clicked. I talk through the decision to lean heavily on my 5-wood and 7-wood throughout the day and how those clubs are starting to earn their keep. However, golf is a game of give and take; while the putting improved, the chipping took a step back, leading to a serious "grind" on the back nine to post a 94. What we cover in this episode ➡️Hampshire Greens Review: A look at one of Silver Spring's challenging tracks. ➡️Strategic Shifts: Forcing the use of fairway woods and the results. ➡️Short Game Seesaw: Balancing improved putting with a struggling chipping game. ➡️The Mental Game: What it takes to "grind out" a score when you don't have your best stuff. Whether you're a fellow weekend warrior or just enjoy the journey of improving your game, thanks for tuning in!

    E11: Grinding Through the University of Maryland GC & A Major Gear Swap

    In this episode, I'm breaking down a recent round at the University of Maryland Golf Course in College Park. It was a day of high expectations and tough conditions, proving that sometimes the biggest challenge on the course isn't just the bunkers or the elevation changes—it's the clock. Inside this episode: The Course Review: My take on the UMD layout, known for its rolling hills and "stadium" feel. It’s a beautiful track, but it demands a lot of local knowledge to score. The Pace of Play Struggle: I’m getting real about how a slow day on the course affects more than just your scorecard. When the pace drags, my back starts talking to me, and managing a herniated disk while waiting on every tee box is a mental and physical battle. Flatstick Frustrations: A look at why my putting held me back this round. I’ll talk about those tricky, sloped greens and the lag putting struggles that kept me from hitting my target number. The Big Reveal: I’ve made a major change in the bag. After testing the Bridgestone e6, I’m officially switching to the Callaway Supersoft. I’ll explain why this ball is winning me over and how the feel around the greens is changing my approach. If you’ve ever had your rhythm broken by a five-hour round or wondered if a ball change could save your short game, this episode is for you. Welcome to the Mid-Range Swing, the podcast for the everyday golfer who knows that golf is as much about managing your body and your gear as it is about the swing. I’m documenting my journey to move from a 98.4 average down to a 92—all without a major swing overhaul. Whether I’m reviewing local Maryland courses, navigating the challenges of playing with a bad back, or testing out the latest equipment, this is a transparent look at the amateur game. No "pro" lessons here—just honest strategy, course management, and the pursuit of more consistent golf.

In this episode, I’m taking you on the bag with me at Sligo Creek Golf Course in Silver Spring, Maryland, for a double-loop 18-hole session.
