Well I have been playing golf now for 3 years. It has been a struggle but I have greatly improved. At first I was shooting in the 120-140 range. And I was hooked and trying to improve fast. I was constantly switching clubs changing my swing and hoarding the Internet tips. Finally one day on the course with a good friend of mine who just happens to be a 2 handicap told me to just learn to play the game and all would fall into place. Now I'm consistently shooting in the 82-87 range. My friend did give me some swing tips but no lessons and no changing clubs or my swing for over 2 years. Just playing and going to the range to practice. Now that I am improving and seem to me stuck in the mid 80s for a long while now I'm going to be looking for the little things that will help me improve my game. So here I am hopefully I can learn some things from this site.

    • Day 35, June 8. Before leaving for work this morning (yes, I'm posting this quite late relative to the practice), I spent 15 minutes practicing at home, into a net.  This time, it was primarily 9-iron (full swings), with some UW (full and half) and a few 6-iron.  
    • Day 73: just some mirror work today. Working on feels for being open and getting the front shoulder down. 
    • I'm liking this. Finally getting down hands in front of my trail leg pocket consistently at A6 with much better clubhead position (relatively not as tipped out). I can really pressure the shaft through impact with good face control  from this position and stay in balance. Won my first one v one march 5&4 against a 4 hcp who routinely drives it 35-40 yards past me in the men's club match play . Frustrated him with some solid iron play and air tight putting.   
    • Day 279 6-8  Worked on low point control skills work tonight. will be doing this for a few weeks. Tonight was just trying figure out how to get low point forward.  No ball.  
    • Day 8 (Jun 8 26) - Stayed the drill but added two additional irons (7i, 8i and 9i) - using Divot Board and hard foam balls - focused on tempo and purposed pause at the top….noticing how open the club is marking the board when I try to kill it and how much more square (and better distance) when I focus on these keys.
