    Day 16, 1/16. After work, spent 10 minutes chipping with my 58. Some were 1/8 swings, some were 1/4 swings. Real balls, but off of a mat into a net, so it was motion (I hit some mechanically poor chips the past few rounds) not with a green.

    Day 473 - 2026-01-16 Bunch of GEARS stuff today, so… stayed after, did some Skillest work, and recorded a few swings.

    Day 156 1-16 Pausing at top of backswing and arching wrist. Much shorter pause and no rehearsal in most swing. Hit foam balls and recorded. Needs much more work.

    Day 52: simulator day. Played Old Head and shot an “80,” which was probably more like a 78 in a non-simulator. Then worked on irons for 15 minutes, and may have found a good feel.

    Day 14: 2026.01.16 Some swings late in the day to confine trying to embed the hip rotation I'm working on.

    I don't know what to tell you. You can't test wedges with range balls, and you have a LOT more info to gather before you can begin to really even test anything else, either.

    Day 27 - 2026-01-16 Played 18 with some of the usual "too many voices" going on when I'm working on swing stuff. Fun to get out in great bay area winter weather.

    I know one recent college grad who's trying the same thing. This guy was a Division III All-American, went on to play one year at Division I LSU, and is not working hard. He won the Gulf States Open, a pro event, and made it to the second stage of the Korn Ferry Tour School late in the fall. And didn't make the cut to get to the final stage. I won't talk about swing or play stuff, but I believe there are a couple of things that are essential. Obviously, talent, and drive, or work ethic. I can't tell you how to do it, but you HAVE to get through it. Golf is going to be your life, and it takes lots of work. Two more things that are really critical. You'll need the facility to be able to practice. My young friend stayed in Baton Rouge, as a past player on the team he can still use the LSU practice facilities. And money. Its unlikely you'll be able to work a full-time job and practice the way you will need to. You'll probably need backing, from a parent, from a consortium of friends or club members., something to support you. Good luck, its not an easy path, but anything is possible. Another young man from our area, Mike Brennan, just won for the first time on the "big" PGA Tour.

    No one in the world is as smart as Phil thinks he is.

    Get more comfortable with being uncomfortable. If you don’t like practicing then give up now. You don’t have the passion to become a pro. Unless that mentality changes you won’t do well under stressful situations. Call the PGA Tour and ask. They probably have resources available.

    Thanks man, sometimes it’s hard to improve bc when I’m not feeling comfortable I don’t like practicing bc I get frustrated. Any advice?
  16. Pablo Quintero
    Yeah that’s true, but every time I go see my swing coach he tells me that the wedges aren’t helping me and that I should try another ones. Yeah I’ve tried that too but still high. It’s a 48 bettinardi that goes 140 max with a draw and my 9 goes 155 stock.

    I’d say don’t just switch brands look at the specs of your wedge first. A lower bounce or slightly stronger loft on a Betti or Vokey could fix the high launch without changing your feel. Testing a few in a fitting session is the safest way.
  19. Mystique
    My advice: soak up all the advice you can, especially on training, equipment, and the mental game. Sharing your own experiences helps too. For turning pro, the key is patience and steady improvement small gains add up.

    Day 51: mirror work tonight. Focused mostly on backswing, trying to make sure I’m not too steep.
  25. iacas
    You can't do this kind of thing with range balls.
  26. Shindig
    Day 15, 1/15. A dozen balls, about twenty minutes, 6-iron, indoors, off a mat, into the net, with real balls. My focus today was making sure my swings were slow and I stopped the backswing where I'm trying to.
  27. Chris Brooks
    Day 26 - 2026-01-15 45 minutes of range work with some freeze filming for coach. 45 minutes of green short game work. Tried some bad-lie chipping with hybrid.
  28. Pablo Quintero
    Launch angle is avg 28.6 and the spin rate avg 8425 but I was using range balls. All were the same quality and brand. And I was using normalizer.
  29. iacas
    What's your VLA? Spin? Kind of ball?
