practiced on and off all day today hitting wiffle balls with my 7 iron and chipping with my 58 around the yard.

working on getting the weight forward and bringing the arms down at a proper sequence to end up with shoulders square to target line and shaft lined up with shoulders at A6 while keeping the shoulders level (i.e. not getting my left shoulder up too fast)..

I'm trying to get to A4 and then come down with hands quickly before my hips fire.. it's a new piece and a tough one, but I'm getting very good reps this week..

It's so much easier to work on the golf swing when you have the whole day off every day for 30 days :)

Worked on this drill for about 20 minutes inside with practice balls.

Practiced outdoors for about 45 minutes today. For at least 5 minutes I worked on loading #3 less (rotation of the lead arm) on the takeaway, hit it well.

Just an opinion, as you've said similar things a few times, but very few people in my experience "actively" "release" anything in the golf swing. I have a saying that "lag happens" but so does the "re

Well I was out of town over the weekend so I missed 2 days. But today I did my mapping drill for 5 mins then hit 3 balls in the yard doing the drill between each shot.

Hit some balls over a the range. Worked on the lag drill as well as some other. Finished the bucket with 8 smooth driver shots right down the middle, very satisfying way to walk off the range.

I got to my favorite practice facility this afternoon. I hit the range and worked on the speed of my backswing (after getting an evolvr evaluation this morning!). I also worked on short putts that broke a little, because I was having some difficulty hitting those in recent rounds. I also spent about half an hour in a greenside bunker. And it occurs to me - most practice greenside bunkers I've seen have a very small "target" green. That's all well and good for practicing being short-sided and needing to get up and down, but I'm more interested in "out of the bunker, onto the green." So I'm not as sure how to get the feedback for that beyond "I hit the ball out of the bunker, and it didn't fly like fifty yards."

I hit a small bucket at the driving range, working almost exclusively on partial distance wedges (50-90 yards).

How did you do your AimPoint putting practice (unless the playing was the practice, haha)?


Put a ball 10 feet away from the hole, stand 1/3 between the ball and hole, feel the slope, ... :-D .

Did 5 minutes of mirror work today at company gym.

Worked on making a few good backswings then went to working on my downswing piece.

I also worked on the pitching motion, trying to get the clubface more open in the backswing.

Practiced putting indoors for 10 minutes. I putted bare-handed without my Bionic StableGrip glove, and had several putts miss on left edge of cup. The glove helps take up slack between my hand and the grip.

Practiced bunker, chipping, pitching, ball striking, and knockdown shots.   Worked on keeping my right elbow close to my rib during downswing.  Sped up swing tempo to hit longer.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

Did you get yourself a level and try and match the feel with the slope or did you do it without a level?

As for me, this morning before work I changed it up a bit and decided to do practice with an 8I.  Same drill, stopping at A4, bowing the wrist, laying the shaft down, going to A6 stopping, checking form, and then going to A9.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By Zeph ·

      First (12 holes) round in a year, maybe the third round in five years. After prioritizing family for a long time, I’m ready to play more golf. We moved back where I grew up and started playing golf. The course is close, but only six holes and pretty short, so the longest club I bring is a 4i. It is very undulated, with a lot of elevation changes and 4/6 greens are blind shots. The long game was relatively good (relative to my game and swing). Got things to work on, but the current state is manageable. One OB. Wedges and short game was atrocious. Chunking like I was making a garden. On the worst hole I chunked a 58° approach, then chunked three chips in a row… Time to search up some chipping topics and start practicing. I’ll take this over bad long game and good short game. The short game is easier to fix. Shot a net +17(!), gross +23, over 12 holes.

      My Favorite Putts

      By DrizZzY ·

      I dont know if I really have a favorite, but there are two that have stuck in my mind for a very long time. #15 at Erie Golf course during the Finals of the EDGA Matchplay. Was up early and then lost a few holes in row so the match was close again. My opponent had a short putt for birdie. I hit past hole high, but 35 feet right. I drained the putt and looked over at my opponent who was in disbelief.   #8 at Whispering Woods during another year of the EDGA Matchplay. Was playing a very cocky opponent who made sure to mention on the first tee how many times he won the club championship at this course. I hammered this 30 footer that clanked off of the pin and dropped. My opponent was disgusted and that made me weirdly happy. I went on to win 5&3 or something like that, so that entire day has stayed in my memory.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Darkfrog ·

      Day 20: Did 30 minutes after getting home from work, before kid's baseball practice. This session was piecing out the new hip move in transition, doing 2-3 rehearsals from the top, and then hitting a ball from between P5/P6. Did another 45 minutes after baseball practice and dinner. Did 30 more minutes of what I did earlier, and then about 15 minutes of full swings trying to incorporate athletically.
