I've been Playing Golf for: 20 years, with a recent layoff in the last 8 years of only playing 2 to 4 times a year.  Recently started playing a couple times a week since Feb of 2019
My current handicap index or average score is: Mid to low eighties are decent rounds of late.   I did have a 1 over 36 on nine.
My typical ball flight is: of late is has been left to right
The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: pulls and hooks.

Figured I'd start a thread to keep track of my progress.  Video is from my club range.  A couple of shots in the video are knock down punch shots.  I've never had a lesson', learned by pounding buckets on the range.   My drive SS is right at 100.  MY driver has gone to crap as of late, with left side of the course not my friend.   I can hit a cut if I try but really unpredictable, ie it slices.  I can work the ball both ways, but tend to over do it either way.  Personal goal is it get in the 70's before the end of the year.  I live in Atlanta so we have a long season.

    • Day 45 (27 Dec 25) - played at one of the sisters courses to my home course.  Solid session through the bag….of the 7 pars, 4 were up and down 1 putts (wedges were dialed in) from 6’ or less.  Off the tee - solid, irons were consistent even it a bit under on distances.  Course management was on - stayed the course even with a few offline recovery shots required…
    • Day 453 - 2025-12-27 Two things today for about 48 balls (I like to hit three or six balls at a time before taking a small break to pick them up): Right leg stays flexed a bit, internal rotation on the backswing. Kept my eyes looking at the ball and trusted that the backswing was fine.
    • Day 137 12-27 Worked on wider backswing today and tried to remain flowy. Recorded face on and down the line. Swing is looking better but I mentally felt off today, just frustrated. Tomorrow's a new day!
    • Day 8 - 2025-12-27 45 minutes of short game work at local muni, mostly putting work. Trying to get lots of reps in with consistent quality tempo.
    • I guess I'll stay at -16 for this year's challenge.  I never birdied holes 7, 13 (the 2 hardest holes) in 2025.  Also had a couple Eagle putts on the par 5's, but didn't convert either time.  Looking forward to 2026, though!
