I have been working w a great instructor this winter, and he introduced this wedge game to me I start and end every practice session with this game so far, i think it has been super beneficial and i think it is going to make a world of difference in this years scores and dropping my index below 2

i used to flip quite a bit w my wedges, 100% not even knowing it but i made it work and RARELY hit one fat or skulled one, but he has me keeping my left arm much straighter on these short shots and my consistency is scary now

below is a shitty paint pic of the indoor set up and ill explain below

wedge game.jpg

-so i start by hitting 2 balls to each arrow (there are lines actually painted on the floor, as its also used for indoor volleyball, tennis etc.)

-i will look at an actual spot on the floor or a ball and try to hit that ball

-then try to hit each target w the purple arrows w one ball

-Then I “play a round” from tee to green 18 holes -I just envision the shot and distance I need and execute it

-If I have a spot close to the putting green, I will even make a putt or two

-Finish off w the same above wedge court game

This has really made indoor practice a lot more fun .......I sooo miss taking a divot!!! hahahah!!!!!

but this is better than NOT hitting balls i guess

anyways, thought i would share what does your indoor winter practice consist of??

    • Day 444 - 2025-12-18 Light day of hotel room work. GEARS Summit v2.0 today. Good day.
    • 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.
