21.

Dad introduced me to the game when I was five.  Didn't play a whole lot (10-20 rounds a season) in my middle and high school days because I traveled and played year round baseball.  Couple injuries later (Rotator Cuff Tear and Fractured Tibia) and lost scholarships allowed me to pick up golf more heavily the past 3 years (50+rounds a season).  I still have my first driver head cover my dad ever got me but now its on my 3-wood cause its so small haha.

33 - Started playing at 18 and continued until 22. I took a 10 year break. I've now falling back in love with the game again and played about 35 rounds last year and hope to play even more this year. I'm trying to be a single digit handicap this year (which I'm fairly close already).

    • I was using the window as a mirror. Just trying to be a more aware of the feels for a better backswing. Trying to not be as closed from A1 to A2. Then not letting the club head flip inside. What I was feeling was a pressure my right wrist, and like the palm of my right hand was pushing upward against the grip of the club. My right hand was the underside of the swing path.  Going to play around with this a bit more. It looked pretty decent with mirror/window work. Just wanted to jot it down. 
    • Day 4: 3/26/25 Par4Success workout followed by putting through 50 mm gates.
    • Day 249: did a stack putting session and then worked on 5 foot putts for a bit. 
    • Day 17 (26 Mar 25) -  Big day working on a project at church - therefore it was grab some time with the 9i in the backyard working on pitch and runs later in the day.  Focused on keeping the ball flighted to get some good rollout.  Hit about 20 shots doing that and then moved to the 54 to keep working on getting good torso rotation and not flipping through it.  Was not perfect as there were some bloopers and fliers but overall a good session on distance control.  
    • Day 177 - 2025-03-26 Hit some slower drivers and some little wedges today. Drivers were to show the dumb side of my brain (the subconscious side) that the downswing works just fine.
