I worked on my mapping drill from evolvr for about 15 mins this morning.  Im having trouble getting my hands far enough forward at impact when I make a full swing without the pauses.  Im also trying to get my thighs closer together on my follow through.

Putted on a 3 slope from different distances ... put a line on the ball and tried to keep the line straight when I hit it on a flat surface (I assume this is the best way to tell if I hit straight???) Also work on evolvr drills (thanks for the reminder @Jakester23

Take your pick for today. Range with mom, but still had time to practice pitching, hit about 15 balls at the range (usual drill, see above), then some chipping and putting. Thinking about playing this afternoon...

Played 18 holes with a friend of mine. I scored lower than him for the first time. Made my first par. Overall played well (for me) but I definitely need to work on my short game.

5 minutes in the yard today (more like 15).  Fit in during some yard work.

From my video session, I can see progress with what I am doing (centered backswing-right elbow).  Just trying to solidify the feelings.

Was feeling a bit under the weather today but I managed to peel myself off the couch to hit a few chips and pitches in the backyard for about 10 minutes.

I'm out of town at my grandparents house this weekend. My grandfather is the one who first got me into golf. Today I spent a couple hours doing my drills to get my weight forward and then hit a bunch of balls while he gave me feedback. It was a blast. He loves golf and has been playing for at least my whole life and he is thrilled that his grandchildren are picking up the sport. He's a bit under the weather right now but hopefully he recovers soon because he is one of my favorite playing partners.

Spent about 45 minutes out on the net today, working on my pitch and full swing feels. Started with a few pitches and felt pretty comfortable with that so I moved onto the full swing. Once I got into a little groove with that, I added in a pitch for every 2 or 3 full swings just to mix it up towards the end of the session.

15 mins of chipping, trying to get used to the new wedge. Few driver + 4 hybrid (with a sponge ball) in the backyard. Feeling calm swinging the club last few weeks. I have always swung through the ball with a little anxiety before this.

    • Day 9 (10 May 24) - Played 18 with a good friend and one of his coworkers.  Was not a solid scoring round, but lots of opportunites for course management. Had a blast as we truly "got our money's worth" as my friend jokingly said.  Had some solid shots and finished the round with a solid birdie on 17 (the only really good hole of the day).  
    • I always wonder when people say they "tried" a golf swing out. I thought I had a topic on it, but when I searched DuckDuckGo for "trying" a golf swing or method limited to this site… "trying"+a+golf+swing+or+method+site:thesandtrap.com at DuckDuckGo DuckDuckGo. Privacy, Simplified. This very topic was the first search result. 🤣
    • I think you can get away with even a 5I or a hybrid or something. I don't think you need to hit 7I off the tee.
    • Yeah this is good to remember. Handicap is ranking where a high handicap player is most likely to shoot a worse score than a scratch golfer. Though you'd think a super narrow shorter hole would be relatively high handicap (as in close to #1 or #2 because a scratch golfer can hit 4i-SW and have a good look at birdie frequently whereas a high handicap is gonna be in jail or OB a ton? I guess it being short disqualifies it? I have long noticed that as a long hitting mid-handicapper I get an advantage playing in tournaments against players where I get 3-4 strokes because those are usually the par 5s that I can reach or nearly reach in 2.
