Today I played Paradise Valley from the whites (6236 71.0/125) and shot a 92, which is a decent score for me based on my handicap index. The good thing was that I put in a number of pars and one birdie - the kind of scoring which would help in the best-2-of-4 format.

Front 9: par double par birdie quad triple double bogey par.
Back 9: double par double double par bogey bogey par bogey.

I played most of the tee shots on the par 4 and 5 holes with a 3-hybrid. The quad came from spraying a driver OB twice off the tee. I may leave the driver in the bag unless I am sure I cannot get into trouble as the extra length helps.

Saturday is a day of rest, and then Sunday we go down to Monterey and play another practice round at Laguna Seca.

    • Day 4 (13 Mar 25) - Easy session today, some work with the 6&7 irons - full swings into the net, followed but bump and runs.  Toss in some pitch work with the Pw with the grandson. 
    • Day 34: 3/13/25 Putting through 50 mm gates. Almost a perfect session.
    • Hands go out and roll too much, which is why the backswing has trouble staying short. The short swing is too long. Then, you know what to do from there. Throw it.
    • Day 2 March 13th, 2025 Hit a small bucket checking stuff on video. Mostly back to controlling swing length and right elbow. 
    • Video 1 of 2025 Lower body is better. Right knee kicks out less. Left knee straightens better. I don’t have that knee bounce post impact. Backswing and downswing with the arms, needs a bit of work. Nice OTT move there. Video 2 of 2025 - hey I can keep it short.  back to trying to keep the swing shorter and control the right elbow. Lots of half backswing feel and very straight arms. Also trying to start the downswing sooner so the swing doesn’t go on forever with the turn. Got to limit it to 90 degrees shoulder and 45 degrees hips.
