15 mins mapping in front of a mirror. Putting on and off all day while watching the Players - working on a new stance/arm position to overcome some face issues I was having.

I got a net and a mat for my birthday today! Been out in the yard taking some slow and deliberate swings for about an hour. I'm super excited to be able to hit real balls every day now. And excited about not taking divots out of the yard anymore. :dance:

Hit into the net for about 15 minutes. Getting more comfortable standing a bit closer to the ball and working on getting the backswing into a better position at the top.

30 minutes hitting into the net. Alternated between pitching and full swing more often than yesterday, just to keep myself on my toes.

35 minutes hitting into the net.  Felt good, mostly good contact.  Arms felt relaxed and grip felt fairly tension free, not a "death grip".

Some mirror work on the backswing piece and some slow motion swings getting the hips rotated quicker and keeping the spine tilt.

Got busy with grad parties and school and all and just totally forgot to post in this thread D: Welp I have next month but I played a full round yesterday and shot a 96 with awful short game and 2 ob tee shots. Need to work on my tempo with my driver and I neglected my short game to practice my full swing just a tad bit too much but my irons were mostly on point. Had an easy birdie/par opportunity and I looked up on a pitching wedge so other then that good round. Today I worked on my short game a lot and I am getting a lesson this next week so just gotta keep working.

It's not just rotated faster. But I think you know that. I did about 10 minutes in the mirror while watching some TV today.

Probably earlier & more is better to say than faster.

Used the Gold Flex swing trainer. Did several 40-swing sets this afternoon and evening. About 10 minutes total, not counting breaks. Today's drill sought to build tempo and lag.

( Note: Gold Flex is the one that, according to ads, "costs much less than the Orange Whip.")

Will begin tomorrow. Got a range near by, will try to at least getting putting practice in every day.

My High School golf season's coming up so this is probably a good thing to get going on.

Took me long enough, but I got my five minutes in. I know I sound like a broken mp3 saying "slow swings indoors," but that's what today was. During yesterday's round, I think I convinced myself that the practice is paying off, as my swing felt more fluid. I'm not sure if I'm stopping at A4 yet (goal is to not), since I'm clearly moving from back to forward there, but at least I've stopped the hitch of stopping at A2.

I have been doing a focused 5 minute session every day, and am surprised by how much I am learning. No definitive results yet, but it seems to bring up many issues and potential solutions in a very concrete manner. Recording every session, but have only posted 4 out of 10 days so far as these are my discovery sessions.

Did not do any drill work yesterday, just a few pitches.  I did my Mother's day yard work for my wife after spending the morning with my Mom.  I was really sore.  I will keep posting though.

    • 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.
