This morning practice included a chipping game I made up for my backyard.  Wedges, golf mat, two tennis balls, nine golf balls, and a hula hoop.  It was fun to keep score and increases my focus.

Small (30 balls) bucket at the range again today. Slow swings, making sure not to stop at A2 or A4 (not stopping at A4 is tough for me), and then swinging through. Mixed results when I step up to the ball -- some amazingly solid shots, and also some snap fades and some hooks. I think I'll get some video this weekend and check in with my teacher to see if I'm doing this right

I received a new video from evolvr last night so I spent about 20 mins working on my new mappping drill while watching the players.  Im going to hit a few balls outside after dinner and Ill probably work on the mapping some more.  I will also take some time practicing my putting a little later on tonight trying to get rid of the pulls and pushes.

Managed to squeeze in a little bunker practice, some putting, and some full swings. Mostly working on quieting the hands down a bit because I've been turning it over far too much lately.

Another nasty looking day and decided not to go play or go to the range but chipped in my backyard for a bit and practiced my putting stroke inside.

Practiced my new priority piece transition from the backswing to the downswing, with a club outside doing slow motion chip like shots.

I attempted to play golf today, not sure if my attempt met any definition of the game.

Spent about 10 minutes on mirror work in my apartment.

Spent some time today working on my grip. Lessons planned for tomorrow, so I'm expecting to have a lot to work on soon.

I played a charity scramble today and spent 30 minutes at the range prior. Still working on making a centered hip turn. As a side note, it was the most impressive scramble performance (relative to skill) that I've ever been a part of. Our group was me, an 11.5 index, a 20, and a guy who doesn't maintain a handicap but would easily be a 40 if he did. We managed a 10 under from the white tees and 2 mulligans per person. Of course we didn't crack the top 3, but if the event were handicapped we probably would have won.

May 7 -

Lob Wedge Day - Trying to master the 58ª, spent half hour at the practice green.

Problems with distance control - it's just not yet the wonder club that Dave of Pelz Corner says it is. I need to pull through more with left hand... for some reason I have too much right in swinging this club.

Focus, connect and follow through!

I practiced Aimpoint putting on home course green for at least 300 seconds.   Practiced pitching, chipping, anti-flipping drills, and iron shot indoors for 3000 seconds.
