[saevel25]

Played 18 holes today

Worked on the backswing piece.

[rkim291968]

Went to range before the round and worked on full wedge shots with new Edel wedges.  Worked on 40 - 60 yard wedge shots while at it.

[BallStriker]

2 hour AimPoint class today....and another hour of practice with the digital level afterword.........wish I would have seen this yesterday, as I practiced yesterday too (that prolly counts as a back-date.....oh well..never much for following rules)

[LeftRightLeft]

20 driver swings in backyard working primarily on path.  After dinner, 100 five foot putts on carpet.  Longest streak was 31.  Shortest streak was 5.

[Tgb02]

Went and hit two buckets with a lot of drivers and long irons and then hit 1 bucket working on 50-90 yard wedge shots. Starting to get really good and confident with my inside 130 yard play but I need to start hitting my driver straighter. I just can't get my tempo down with my driver and because of my baseball swing I tend to stay back but I'm getting there.

Also worked on putting a lot today, I have gotten very good inside 6 feet but I just don't seem to make any 8-15 feet putts, miss 3-5 a round by a few inches.

[WUTiger]

Hit some balls while waiting for a benefit scramble to wrap up, and then played 9 holes.

It was a wild round, shot 46 (+10). Only had 13 putts!

Parred first two holes, and No. 6. So, it was three pars, a double bogie, a triple bogie, and four bogies.

Triple bogie on par 4 Fourth was a 4W through the landing area, punch back to fairway, an 8i long, three LW shots out of 6" deep rough, and an 8 foot one-putt to stop the bleeding.

No 8, a 480 yd. par 5: Hit  first drive OB, and follow up with 260-yard drive down middle. Top a 4W to 90 yards out, land a GW 12 feet from the pin and sink the putt! (This bogie could have been birdie if I kept head still on first drive.)

I am really nailing some shots with my X20 Tour irons which I reshafted last summer with NS Pro 8950 (17 grams lighter than Project X).  I just need to stay with a 3/4 swing and not try to kill the ball.

[J M Brown]

I worked on controlling chipping distance and trajectory in the backyard.

[mvmac]

Did my 5 minutes at home today. Doing some slow downswing practice, focusing on opening my hips as I transfer forward via the motion of the left from 4-6. If anything I have a tendency to stay closed for too long, swing too far out and too shallow.

[tristanhilton85]

Damn... somehow I forgot to post on the first day... Oh well, I'll start today and not miss another one.

Played 18 today, shot 83.

I also did my 5 minutes at home, in the living room (no golf ball). Just made slow swings working on my backswing and then on the down swing not letting my head move forward. I also did some work with my head against the wall.

[chris3putt]

15 Min's full swing practice. 7 iron. Outside on the lawn, no ball. Looking to get the right hip pocket turning toward the target as far as my body center line as I swing from A2 to A4.

[fr0sty]

Worked on cementing my address position (grip, weight distribution, shaft lean) in the garage. Also did some slow motion chip swings concentrating on my shoulder movement.

[cedrictheo]

Played 18 holes then worked on backswing plane in mirror for a few minutes after round.

[14ledo81]

Did my 5 min (closer to 30) hitting partial wedges in the back yard.

[isukgolf]

Back out my green, working on putting in straight line, and controlling speed ... practice, practice practice ... just when I think I got this, I push one into a different zip code (OK not that bad, but you get the picture) Going to play 18 in Palm Springs at noon ...

[treebound]

Spend time this morning getting used to the new putter I got yesterday, putting balls in the living room and getting a feel for the club and experimenting with lean or forward press or whatever it is called.

[GolfLug]

Round yester day afternoon. 18 holes. Barely hung on for the last 4 holes. Long week at work - feeling wiped out. Managed 84 from 6,600 yards. Checked A4 position this morning first thing before making coffee - without any prior thought at all to see if I am maintaining my priority. Feels like it might be becoming more a norm than having to consciously do it.

Might watch WGC for a bit in the afternoon but I am going to disconnect and give it a rest for rest of today.

[Jameson]

Did my mine before play 18 holes. Not bad, but I can´t get rid of my slice. Tough to make good results this way...32 points.

[Jakester23]

Worked on my mapping lesson from evolvr for about 10 mins in my living room watching the wgc. Then I went outside and hit 2 balls with my sw working on tucking my butt under. I hit them both well little pushes which is what I'm working towards. The reverse C Stephan has me working on is uncomfortable to say the least. My upper body has always went forward at or after impact so trying to stay back fells odd.
