Hey Everyone... I have been thinking of a few things that may be stupid to some people and to some it may be a benefit but everyone know a golf swing does not come over night...but practice also makes us better.....so is what were practicing, right? if im to bent over at address am i practicing right when my posture stinks......so i thought it would be good to take a Excel spreadsheet and make a checklist of what we should do for example until someone looks at thereself with a camera they might think they feel right....but we know that feel most of the time isnt real....so can we really go on to the next step if step one isnt complete? for instance at address: Is my hands to far back? or forward? is my head down? am i set up like Mike and Andy told me to set up? if you practice simple things like this and then you feel confortable with it then you can check it and go on....but if not then you have to work on little things....i know the list can be probably a little extensive, BUT it could help some people like myself know.... take the arm take away, for some it may feel like your taking it inside but until you have a camera shot of it, is it what the S&T guy perscribe? maybe my arms are to far inside...or maybe their not inside at all.... Any suggestions or ideas....or im just stupid with coming up with this?

I am not sure I would go with a checklist, reason being it might get a bit long. Then you are checking like 15 things and it gets hard to swing. I do suggest however keeping a journal that you can bring with you to the range and you say that today you are going to work on 1 thing, write it down and then log the results. Did it look good on camera, how was the ball flight. The nice thing about the journal is it will allow you to go back and review what worked and what didn't. You can also use the journal to show your pro and he/she can give you feedback on it.

    • 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. 
    • IMO-the only thing entertaining was the relay race. Everything else was excruciatingly boring...or just  stupid, like the 14-club thing. Watching guys blade wedges into the water over and over is not at all interesting.
