The first two months of this year have been pretty crazy for me. I've managed a scarce few rounds and even fewer practice sessions. But I'm getting the "itch" again and I am planning on March being a productive practice month. 

Here are two 7 Iron videos from my session at lunch today. I was pleased to see some improvement in a few areas. Namely, I am shortening my backswing a touch, and doing a better job keeping my right heel grounded through impact. 

My follow through still makes me cringe, and my ballstriking is not yet consistent (relative to when I was playing more). But still... baby steps...

As posted in the tournament thread, I need to dedicate a bit more practice to the full swing. Here is where things stand currently. 

In the front on video, I see that my right hand sort of "takes over" at impact. I would love to have a swing with more outward extension on the follow through, but I'm not sure if that is my #1 priority right now? Thoughts or suggestions appreciated.


@iacas - I intended to do some putting work with the flag in & out during this practice session. But apparently the practice greens were just punched and I didn't want to skew the results. The next time I find a "clean" green to putt on, I will perform the test there.

    • I get kidney stones. So 100 oz of water every day. Some nights I drink 32oz between midnight and 6 Am. Which means I dont sleep much.
    • 46 (9 over) Short game and putts were awful!
    • 46+40 for an 86. I just need to play 9 holes on the range before each round. 🤣🤣🤣
    • I don’t measure my intake either. I generally have a black coffee, a bottle of soda, some sweet tea at home, and anything in between is water. An ice cold bottle of water is one of my favorite things. It feels like an immediate refresher for my body. I’ll admit that I need to drink a little more though. 
    • For such a nice membership, there have been some bad incidents in the past few years.  We had someone voted out a couple of years ago over something he did and he harassed the board members for three months until he moved out of the area.   Generally they’ve tried to do things like tournament handicaps and identify certain people who they know should be lower and adjust it somehow.  I can understand not wanting to go thru something like the guy who was voted out again i emailed the pro who forwarded it to the handicap committee.  They are going to see what can be done.  I walked someone thru what happened and they are going to nudge him to post the score from the match and see what he does.  Since he didn’t put anything in the electronic scoring past 13, based on how he played 14 and 15 plus having to take bogey on 16-18 for after he left, he should post 83.  We’ll see if it’s even higher,   Since he was really even thru 13, then doubled 14 and parred 15 my guess is he really shot 75 being generous and giving him 2 pars and a bogey on the three holes he didn’t play.    i shot 88, getting 16 shots for my course handicap which is net even and I lost on 13.  We do brackets where handicaps should be within 4-5 of each other.  Most matches only have 1-2 shots as a difference between players  neither of us posted the score yet.  There was something in the match play rules about whether or not to post your score.  I couldn’t remember if we were supposed to or not.  I don’t think he was going to post that, because even with his inflated score it would be the lowest score in his recent 20. Lucky I didn’t because they want to see what he does post and they don’t want me posting so he can try to calibrate his score.
