I've been Playing Golf for: 8 years

My current handicap index or average score is: 5.3

My typical ball flight is: straight or fade

The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: anything not hit in the sweet spot

worked to this point after years of early extension, shallow inside takeaway and lots of over sliding and clubface flipping which i was unaware of until starting to use video.

i still have the remnants of my bad habits when playing, as i am target focused, but i'm starting to see them go away.

    • Day 12: stole about 10 minutes in the garage, doing my drill with foam balls. 
    • Day 116 12-6 Still working on getting to lead side. Tonight I also tried some skill work with clubface awareness.  Hit foam balls. 
    • To flog this subject even further, if that's even possible, this article from Golf Monthly just appeared today in one of my news feeds. Written by a golf writer in the UK who I never heard of, he's basically saying that there should be only 3-5 rounds from the most recent 20 that should count towards the average and only competitive rounds should count. He claims the erratic scorers would have less of an advantage than they do now. He makes a lot of references to "club golfers" in the UK being the ones who are mostly dissatisfied. https://share.google/qmZZBEoJvOxHxJGil  In my experience with my league where we have golfers with indexes ranging from 5 to 40, looking at the weekly results from the past two years, I can detect no pattern that would substantiate the claim that the current system gives an unfair advantage to either erratic golfers (aren't we all?) or higher handicappers. Apparently though, at least in the UK, this seems to be "a thing."
