Woohoo, played 9 and for once, didn't hit one really awful shot, no earth digging fats, no bone shattering thins, no shanks, no OB drivers. Hit one juuuust off the heel and wound in the green side bunker a nGIR, not very right at all. Every iron went pretty much near where I wanted it to go and hit two controlled low trajectory escape shots which went exactly the height I wanted, 10 feet high and 100, 175 yards. Still shot a 43, a snowman because of a green side bunker shot caught too cleanly because wet packed sand into a bunch of leaves killed me, but that's the short game and doesn't bother me as much. If I had my regular season short game, could have broken 40. Someone mistook my Aimpoint Express finger procedure for Vector putting. Cold-ish weather didn't effect distance much either.

Because limited time indoors don't practice longer clubs as much. Sometimes need to start with a long iron to get to driver.

Lesson, more work on no Havercamp on the backswing. Really feels like I'm stretching to the sky and wound up. Feels are sway hips back while left shoulder to ball.

Better with extension at 4, more daylight between shaft and head.

Thanks. Doesn't look it but feeling a major stretch there, like a pretzel.

Bought the changes to the course, shot 44 short game rusty, driver was good, much more controlled, pretty much all nGIRs, focused on the one thought, feel that stretch at 4. Getting same distance feeling like less effort although that stretch at 4 takes energy out of me more when at the range. Don't like the chicken wing at 8-9 but will focus on that later, want to make new feeling at 4 automagic.

You've been away too long @JetFan1983. If @nevets88 quit his job, in four months he might only get two rounds of golf in. Because winter 😜

Last evolvr lesson - get right elbow more in front of body on downswing. This is a 7I @ super slow tempo, probably went 75 yards, but the feel is totally different. Even though it's not a full tempo swing, I feel progressively swinging faster while keeping the same feels is the way to go. I call this the " love tap " drill.

 

Even though that's probably my best P6 position and I know it's supposed to be a powerful position, it doesn't. Maybe when I up the speed a little more.

That looks like a fantastic drill...I've never seen that one before. I have to try that one.

Looking good Steve. What feel are you using? The one I use is pushing  my right arm down against my left thumb at setup. Then I keep that feel to A4.

Thanks Scott. A lot more hip sway away from target from A1, chest extension from A3-A4, arms reaching for sky A3-A4, head towards target A3-A4. Feels like a lot more torque, stretched out more.

    • Day 12: 2/19/25 Weight shift drills followed by full swings.
    • Thanks Bill, Really appreciate the tips! I'm hoping between side saddle putting and working on the Jim Venetos swing I'll drop some shots off my typically mid-90's score.
    • Thinking about seeing if our local course will make divot repair part of the annual youth camp….and I love @dennyjones comment to stick ‘em to the carts.   Sadly a lot of the older guys are not stable enough to bend down and make a good repair - so they just let them be or just do the putter tamp.  We also have one member who shuffles his way on and off the green - soft spike marks everywhere….
    • The lie is not really adjustable.  The PGA states that it must have at least 10 deg angle (not sure on the exact #) all of these putters came with the minimum allowable angle from vertical.  This is why the corners are beveled off.  The sole of the club is not intended to sit flat on the ground. Having said all this, the only way to change the angle is to bend the silver piece that the shaft is glued in to. In use: 1. Hold the putter with your top hand and let it dangle 2. the beveled edge will be the closest part to the ground 3. place bottom hand much like holding a pencil 4.  Club should swing forward and back freely but not hit your foot.  If it does then you need to move you top hand outward. 5. Do not manipulate the club path. straight forward and back 6. I keep my top hand tight on the putter.  My bottom hand twists the putter counter clockwise against my top hand.  This keeps the face from opening up. Good luck.  I have been using mine for close to 10 years.  I average 1.7 putts/hole (yes I have statistics on every hole I play) Bill
    • Day 29 (19 Feb 25) - Winter storm in place (here it's cold icy rain), inside day today - started with mirror work and 8i - working on weight shift sequence using shortened swing (backswing to P3) and coming through to P8.  Focused on sensing the shift to the lead foot as I get toward P3 and then coming through smoothly.  Followed up those series of rehearsals with some easy lag putts working to equalize backswing length with downswing finish to 3' - 5' - 8' distances.
