A horrifying snake attack on the golf course today while golfing with my son.  It was a close call.

I'm just thankful you survived that!!  Wow, what a horrific predicament.  Right @mvmac ??? ;)

It has been a long time coming but I made my first real swings today in a very long time.  I only hit about 30 balls, but it felt great.  The wrist has some very slight soreness but overall it felt ve

I would move there, then I could hang out with my buddy all the time.

The new assignment and changes feel pretty good in the irons already.  Struggling to find the ball a bit, especially in the 3w and the driver.  That just tells me things are changing and I am good with it for now.  I have gone back to hitting it very low with those clubs so I have not got things obviously quite where they should be yet.  For some reason with that goofy backswing where I loop out then in coming down inside I can hold off the rotation shutting the face into the ball better and get more height.  I think that just means I have to continue to work on the "up" transitioning better into a more shallow downswing.  I have a tentative appointment set up for an in person session with Jared in the early part of October.  I am looking forward to that.  I am trying to get something set up at the shop so I can practice all winter as well.  I really would like to see where I could end up next year if I can hit a semi-predictable shot off the tee with decent height.

Gotta spend the winter working on this.  Not much in the way of predictable start lines and curve right now.  Downswing and exit are pretty crappy, but I have got to learn to get to A4 right now.

Still tend to go back shut, at least the A4 position is not as shut as it was even when I get it wrong.  It is a higher, tighter draw even this shut.

Better:

FO(camera angle is too left, ball not that far forward):

BTW, I really like the new iPhone for recording these videos.

Sorry to go OT, but the video looks great. I love my SG5, and haven't looked back since I left iPhones...but they definitely won the slow-mo battle.

Yeah to each their own, but for OS stability and as a long time iTunes user, Apple makes sense for me.

To be clear you know what I'm saying here right?

Your hands are far too low. We mentioned this in Erie, remember? :D

Yep, I was just making a bad joke.

Yeah in Erie I was standing too upright, you guys had me lower my hands with better posture.  Like most things I have overdone it.  Meeting with Jared for a lesson Thursday.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By iacas · Posted

      Day 601 - 2026-05-25 Short-ish day with only some later Skillest lessons, so I stayed after and got some swings in. GEARS Hybrid was set up for a lefty, so… not that. 🙂

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      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.

      Approach Play to Elevated / Lowered Greens?

      By Shindig · Posted

      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.
