Went to the range yesterday and worked on rotation. My swing historically has been very armsy so getting the feeling of turning back and through was a big help. Hit a lot of really good shots mostly concentrating on wedges with slower swings. Hit a few drivers and saw some success there as well. 

Hit the gym afterwards and had a really good workout. I changed to more of a mass building workout and am excited to see what gains I can make. Be back at it today.

Went to the range today at Scottish Highlands in Salem NH. Worked on getting my chest turning away and then through the ball. Worked out well as shots had a little more distance and more consistent flights. Gained 20 yards with the few drivers I hit. They have a pretty good short game practice area so I spent a good half hour hitting chips and pitches. 

After the range I went to the gym for a back workout. Went well and I'm excited to move forward with this new workout program.

I’ve played Scottish Highlands many times. It was my league course and after I retired my go to course in MA/NH.

I've played there a bunch as well when I lived in MA. My brother lives in Derry so it was nice to go back there.

New workout program is going very well. Feels like I'm getting stronger especially in my legs which I do twice a week. Seem to be holding fairly steady with weight but at this point I'm trying to lose that remaining fat and get more fit. 

Haven't done much with golf the last couple of days but believe I'm playing both tomorrow and Sunday so I'll report the damage.

Played 9 yesterday at Hoodkroft in Derry, NH. Course is not super long but was in good shape and had fun playing with my brother. Shot a 46 with a double and a triple. 4 putted on 1 then used 14 putts the final 8. Lipped out a 30 footer on 9 which would have been a hell of a par save after taking a drop. Had my best day with the driver in a long time. Feel like the swing thought of moving my chest instead of my shoulders is paying off.

Did chest and shoulders today. I'm really enjoying how this mass building workout is getting me to feel so much stronger. I've gone up in weights on most lifts quicker than I have in previous workouts. While my goal is really to get more fit overall, lean muscle mass will go a long way towards reaching that. I really want to start the couch to 5k running program as well.  I had done that once many years ago and it just stripped fat off of me. Even losing close to 100 pounds the last couple of years, my belly is still soft and protruding a bit. 

Going to try and play 9 on Wednesday but a few things need to fall into place for that to happen. Hope I can continue the better ball striking I experienced my last time out. Details to come lol.

Another saga with no ending. I understand that life gets in the way of golf and golf blogging. A short post saying, “I stopped my journey” would at least signal that this trek has ended.

What a great looking club, how do you like them compared to Ping?

I've had the craziest last few months one could imagine. I'm not ready to go into it much but it hasn't been great. I will pick up at some point.

I love them. Depends on the Ping of course but I've hit a friend's i530's and like the feel of the Takomo 's better.

    • Day 1: 12/10/2024 I've actually been practicing and working on my game, but now it's time to start this challenge again. I'm coming off a great lesson yesterday with Yoda, ... a bit too technical though 🤣.  So, today I spent like a half hour in front of the mirror working on something I'm going to call PPJ. It's kind of my new priority piece. My plan is to work on it in front of a mirror for a little while until it feels a little less foreign (could be a couple days, could be a month). Then I'll take it to the garage and hit balls into the net again, perhaps a week, perhaps longer.  Then finally I'll take it to the range and see how that goes. My thought is to avoid any focus on where the ball goes for a while. I don't want to make any adjustments to the movement based on ball flight, either consciously or subconsciously unit I get the movement closer to the way I want it. That's the plan anyway. 
    • Yep, it was probably, "Another one of those, send it!"
    • Started the Stack recently after toying with the idea for a while For me the grit score is a great idea, you feel a responsibility to stick to the programme. Hopefully see some progress along the lines of other posters. Will keep everyone informed how i get on. For reference I'm a new dad (8 months) and live in Scotland so its very much the off season so i have gone from little if any golf to basically none so I'm realistically stacking at the moment without hitting any balls. My garage doesn't have enough head clearance to hit balls in but i'm contemplating getting a decent net so i can stack and maintain my technique in the off season. Happy stacking, if anyone has any questions feel free to ask!
