Pretty much a continuation of last year.

  • Work on Key #4 (basically ballstriking - hit the ball solid more consistently)
  • Continue filming a couple of swings during rounds when possible.
  • Work on dialing in distance wedges. Get better at pinpointing 1/2, 3/4, partial backswings.
  • Distance control w/finesse wedges.
  • Try and break 40 for 9 on home course.

Better Key #4, but still needs work. Hip swiveling towards ball around A6. Not committed to swinging to the finish. Also losing shallowing when trying not to make a "manufactured" swing. Getting better at not letting hands drop and turning into lead shoulder.

Did a lot of on course filming and it was eye opening. Hate how it looks on course. Lots of variance between swings, distance wedges look awful, too steep from A6. At least I've identified the problems.

Did not have time to go to short game area with distance/finesse wedges, but using course play helped.

Nope on breaking 40. I suck. Soldiering on because I think once I get some kind of competency on the full swing, it will percolate its way into everything else.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

Work on my distance control around the greens.  Last year I left far too many shot inside 30 yards short leading to too many 2 putts.  I have to get up and down more often.

Keep the ball in play with the driver, I made some big strides at the end of last season, but need to hit more fairways.

Shoot par for 18 holes, came close last year shooting a +1 72.

    • It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…
    • I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
