Day 12: did the yardstick putting drill for a bit while watching tv. -
Hole 6, 185 uphill par 3, wind out of the right. I hit a 7 iron to 5-FT left of the pin. The ball landed about 185.5 yards. I drained the putt for a birdie, and most likely a skin. 2nd place is more of a best swing made. 110 yard wedge shot, where I did what I wanted in the back swing and downswing. I hit a 75% partial wedge 95%. It was flushed, flighted, and beautiful to watch fly over the green. 🤣. I will need to redial in the wedges sometime. Since I am making an effort to make my former 3/4 swing length my full swing length. -

Is that like "the longest yardstick you can find"? I don't have Airtags but I'd call all of them Airtags too.! -
Yea, that makes sense. I remember an Open tournament when they brought out the wind meter one day because balls were being blown around the green. I think it was 45+ sustained, which probably means 60 mph gusts. I think for the most part, it isn't something that needs to be taken into account. Also, a golf ball is designed to optimally move through the air. It has better aerodynamics than a sphere. Thanks for your expertise on this. That makes sense. I know about how wind diminishes the lower in height you go. I didn't know it went near zero at the ground. I deal more with tall structures (utility poles), and we have to take into account height and impacts of wind on the pole. A bit of experience, but wasn't sure how close to zero, non-impactful it was on the golf ball on the ground.

Day 2 (7 Aug 25) - More work on tempo with mid-irons, moved to wedges for the balance of the drill.
