Turning from A1 to A2, maintaining my tilt.

Lifting left arm up the toe line from A2 to A4, maintaining my tilt

Clear the right side sooner from A5 to A7, no dropping the right shoulder and tilting back.

Excuse my ignorance, but what do the alphanumerics in your post mean? Do they refer to Stack and Tilt (which I obviously know nothing about)? :-\  Thanks.

Will be concentrating on driver distance. Using some references here and been hearing good things about LSW, plus my pro encourages me to step on the driver a little more now that the legs are feeling better.

I have primarily been working on my backswing, keeping it on plane, and being consistent at doing so.

I've also been working on my setup, and a little bit on impact.  My hands tend to be higher and closer to the ball at impact than address so that will probably need to be fixed eventually.

Working on my driver. I got my motion down pat so I can the max swing speed I am capable of. Then Hit a great drive but then next time I think I'm superman and try to hit/swing harder that I lose control and either slice the ball right or pull to the left Working on my timing and use a ball with a line on the tee to force me not to over rotate my drive or hold it off

Working on my mental game. Seems like when I playing with better players I tend to play better. However when I play with recreational players who aren't good I tend to slack off. My focus is okay off the tee and fairway as I usually have a target. I think where I can improve from pitching distancing cause when there isn't a ball on the green to be "inside " my distance control is lacking Also on the green I tend to hole more putts against better players who one putts lots

I'm working on two things. First I need to eliminate useless strokes like missing greens that I have a good look at or 2 putting after close chips on. The second is capitalizing on good shots. My birdie conversion rate is pretty low so if I can start following up my good drives with closer approaches, I think I'll be able to shake off a couple of extra strokes in my rounds. And like always, eliminating hazards and 3-putts. I've been doing well at not 3-putting but OB and hazards will always have room for improvement considering how much danger my home course has.

    • Day 296: did a stack session. 
    • Day 126: 5/1/24 Putting and chipping practice. Slow motion swings with 8-iron.
    • #4 - 1st hole at Kingsbarns I rolled in a 15 footer for birdie. Showed my caddie an old guy could still play a bit. #3 - 18th hole at Basin Harbor Club, Vergennes, VT. I had played matches against my nephew over the years. He had never beaten me although through the years he had become a long hitting teenage golfer. I was 1 up but bunkered near the 18th green. My nephew had a long putt for birdie. I splashed out of the bunker to 4 feet. He rolled his first putt close and I gave him the par. Sadly for him, I rolled mine in and won our last match. He went off to college and then Europe for a Ph. D. It was our last match. Family champion forever. #2 - First playoff hole in the City of Livonia, MI “65 & Over” division. I rolled in an 8 footer that broke about 4-5 inches. #10 Whispering Willows GC. #1  18th hole at TPC Prestancia, Sarasota, FL. A 4 foot slicing putt for par to beat the prior year’s Member/Guest winners and win the Member/Guest with my father at his club. I was having heart palpitations as I played the final hole solo when my father put two in the water. There was never a better golf sight for me when that ball dove into the hole.
    • Finally, wedges getting somewhere. This one a punch gap from 87 yards to about 12 feet. Contact and ball flight absolute restaurant quality. It's nice when grass comes back.
    • Tiger on the Today show today. At 3:25 he says he's working on keeping his arms in more and rotating his hips better. Nice.
