Day 21, May 25. Hit "the whole bucket" as practice today after reviewing my Skillest lesson. I think something crept into my swing last week that wasn't in the lesson, so I went back to the lesson and renewed my focus. Each ball was a minute or so, 2-3 slow rehearsal backswings and checking the mirror for how far back I was going. "The whole bucket" means every ball I have in the bin at my indoor practice room; I counted when I put them back, that's six dozen plus six total. That is probably more full swings than I took over the weekend (excluding range warm-ups) in two rounds! But these were all with a 6-iron. -
Day 265 5-25 Hit some balls just to see where i was, no "thoughts' except getting arms in front. Did some recording where i focused on getting chest through and arms in front. -
Day 76 (25 May 26) - Broke out the "vintage" clubs (MacGregor blades, Wilson 4150 laminates) to work with clubs that are much less forgiving. Worked through the bag using hard foam balls for the full swings, regular balls for the chips and pitches. Found it to be a more focused session on making consistent contact. -
Can you elaborate on this? There's a par-4 hole at the course I've played the most (was my home course for over a decade, now 50 miles away but I still go and play there) whose green is below the fairway and I realized recently it's one of three holes on the course I've never made birdie, despite that I often have a short iron into the green for my second shot. It isn't even that I haven't made birdie, but I realize I often don't hit the green. My typical play of the hole is to have a near-GIR and sometimes I get up and down, but not as often as I would if I were trying to 2-putt.
