I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly. -

Day 18: drill swing in my garage after getting home from work. -
Day 32 (12 Dec 25) - What was the Friday shootout became a practice round due to lack of enough players (temps kept a lot of the regulars home). Used it to dial in some playing distances as I played back a set of tees to force alternate club selections. Plenty of long approaches - every club was put into action thru the course is 18 holes. Was not a GiR day but rather nGIR (5 up and down pars). Pin placement was tough - the smallest miss would see the ball roll just as far past or even off the green. Was a great day of battling what the course was dealing. Overall - I finished 5 strokes over my average score of 86.
