Worked on my mapping again today for about 15 mins then hit seven 7i.  Im definitely having an issue controlling the low point.  I hit 4 balls very well, 2 thin and 1 heavy.

Used my 4 hybrid to do my flat wrist at A4. Hit some Dixie cups just to check my finish. I might be a pulling a bit but am not going to worry about it too much at the moment.

Practiced hitting shots that I'll be hitting next week in a tournament. I go through my whole routine/one simple feel and visualize certain shots/holes.

Also worked on distance control with wedges, 30-70 yards.

Swing fan work.  I am really liking this.  It forces me to go back slow and keep my wrist cock till late in the downswing.  Then just prior to release to just after release (don't know the position numbers).  Then just backswing.  Then full swings. (With a 6i in my bedroom, 8ft ceilings, no ball)  Soft arms, light grip pressure.

Practised yesterday making slow swings with my driver, want so badly to fix my path, definitely it´s what is making me slice the ball. Really hard.

5/6: Short chips into the bucket again this morning. Can't decide if this is just a really hard motion to groove or if I'm just bad at it. I was chipping balls with my lob wedge off a little turf mat into a shallow bucket set about 4' away and was having an awful time of it (both ways, either a thin, stabby thing or some double-hits).

I did 10 minutes of mirror work.  I focused on the right elbow getting in front from A5 to 6 and the feel.  This is part of my Evolvr work.

Took the mat on the back deck and used the reflection in the patio door window to continue work on my backswing. This time makings sure I wasn't turning a bit flat in doing so.

Got my 5 minutes in today while in a waiting room.  Trying to feel like the right hip is moving toward the target again on the backswing.

I was out of town for an appointment.

Got a few strange looks from my wife, but I think she is somewhat used to it by now.

Can't win the badge, but that's no reason not to try to get into the habit now...

While waiting for my plumber, I worked on key #1 during my backswing with a club but no ball.  I used the intersection of floor tiles as the ball location.

    • Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.
    • As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
