I can get it going on the range. I can bring it to the course ...but it fades as I go. Still trying to build that muscle memory.

My post was also seven words long, but all posts don't have to be seven words long. Do they?

I only go to the range if I am trying out a new club or working on a swing or grip modification. I save practice for the course when I go out by myself. I have 5 totally different courses near me that I can play for right at $20.

Practicing at the range is not for me. I get drained way too quickly at the range because of just hitting ball after ball which is not how it happens on the course. There is time to recover between shots on the course.

Your posts are still questions.

A quote from Kris
...is that college bball really isn't "lower tier". The better teams have their rosters filled with guys who could play in the NBA. hell, guys used to come straight from high school to the NBA. I really don't think there's much of a difference skill-wise between the two.

^LOL

I know what you mean. It varies for me. A lot of local course will not let you play alone so your usually paired with 2 or 3 more. Sometimes I feel like I could give lessons after a trip to the range, but the next day it doesnt show on the course, and vise versa.

There's no rule at the driving range that says you have to hit the balls quickly one after the other. Take 2 or 3 minutes between your shots at the range just like you would on the course. You won't get drained too quickly and you'll have plenty of time to recover. I've seen people go through 3 or 4 buckets of balls in the time it takes me to get through 1 because I take my time with each shot.

I think I may stay away from the range and try and get more solo twilight rounds in. There are very few flat lies on my home courses. You also can better hone your short game.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Day 38 (18 Dec 25) - got out in the backyard with grandson this afternoon.  We got into a little game of pitching the ball from about 25yds to a target point just off the asphalt lane behind the backyard.  Goal - just clear it with a quick hop and stop.  Focused on using the wedge swing motion I was talking with the course pro yesterday….smooth and thru just bruising the grass.  In addition to a concentrated focus on technique, it also called for a quiet mind locked in on target point.  Rehearsed this with both the 50° and 55° wedges.

      I listened to the Shaun Webb one about the swing coach app. Sounds like a great thing and will (hopefully) be very useful for me. I do think the hosts are underestimating where AI could be in a few years. Right now it's just regurgitating stuff that it has been told or it has scrubbed from somewhere else and a human guiding things will be quite a lot more helpful than just the AI, but it's going to keep developing and it will reach the stage where it's figuring this stuff out on its own. Time will come when it will have you do a TPI style screen and take various height/arm length/leg length etc. measurements, have you tell it some history and your time constraints and goals and what not and it will watch a video of your swing face on and DTL and it will know exactly what you need to work on.

      I found it entertaining, but the announcing was lousy.  How did the measuring on the final shot start with Rory being closer and being told he won, and then with no explanation it turns out Scottie won?  Weird.

      Day 128 12-18 Worked on rotation and getting to lead side. Still working on the flow feeling while doing that. Recorded swings.

      IMO-the only thing entertaining was the relay race. Everything else was excruciatingly boring...or just  stupid, like the 14-club thing. Watching guys blade wedges into the water over and over is not at all interesting.
