At the range today. Nothing really stuck yet with getting the left arm to go down the toe line more. Also, need to shorten the swing.

Need more tilt at address. Hips still stall out.

Played 9 holes today. Shot a +12, 47 Driver was good. My irons are still crap. Just finding it hard to get that left arm down the toe line. Much more worrisome is the short game. Thinned 3 pitch shots today. Just blading some pitches. I got Tigers syndrome rigth now.

Are you thinking about mechanics on your short game shots?

Shot a +20, 92 no solid contact at all. Lots of hooks. fat shots. Clanky shots. Just trying to find something servicable Right now. Seems short and slow works better.

The more around yourself you swing, the shallower the entire AoA area is going to be. As the pictures in #650 show, swing less around and more up and down.

Whatcha doing next weekend? :)

I'm not doing much after a putter fitting at 9am on Saturday. Sunday I think I'm putting up a trampoline or something. Not that it will take all day.

Some good, the some low hooks, or slices. Had alot of chunky shots as well. I think need to swing even slower. I did have some good result on the driving range Just feeling the hands lift up.

Video, please. Try to film it while you're hitting a shot TO a target and put a little pressure on yourself.

You're playing a lot and I don't know or haven't heard too much about how you're practicing. Maybe you aren't much, maybe you just don't talk about it. Share more details.

You will get through it. Β Keep at it, keep working through your drills. Β I went through it last year, heck maybe I will this year again. Β Just keep working and staying positive. Β Your game will come around.

I know that Sunday is out for me, but the gig we had scheduled for Saturday night was cancelled. Saturday is a possibility if I can get the long list of honey do's out of the way through the week. @saevel25 ?

Totally up to y'all but Saturday should be okay and we should be able to get in some time at WWGC.

Shot better today. half and 3/4 wedges still get chunky or thin. Pitching is still to steep. Alot of very sloshy soggy fairways. hard to get solid strikes with a steep swing.

The downward trend in scoring is good. Went 44+38. My SV3 skill was horrible today. Wasted easily 4-5 shots around the greens today.

Shot a 37 + 40 for a 77. Did much better swinging easy. Wasted 4-5 strokes around the green on some short missed putts and bad bunker play.
