The rules are the same as last month:

  • Post every day during the month above. No back-dating or pre-dating posts or practice sessions.
  • Detail what you did for at least five minutes of practice (indoors or out, with or without golf balls, etc.).
  • At the end of the month, everyone who has posted every day will earn a special badge they can proudly display throughout the following month, at which time a new challenge for that month will begin.

Enjoy and practice hard!

Okay, Back in the saddle. Let's see if I can do better than last month...

6/1: 5 minutes doing slow swings in the mirror focusing on a steady head, where my weight is during the swing. Also worked on my putting setup (eyes over the ball, looking straight out instead of down my nose).

Hopefully I'll be as disciplined this month. 5 minutes putting practice when I got home from work. Focused on bead. It's raining otherwise I'd do a distance control drill at the course practice area which I think I need to focus more on.

5 minutes mirror work on backswing only.  Slow and moderate speed movements that focus on trying to keep the club from getting inside too early in the backswing.

Let's try this again: 6/1/15: Played 9 today with my wife, I've been working a lot on "rocking the baby" with my putting stroke, I even will pick up Alina sometimes to get the visual and the feel... But today I worked on getting a little more weight forward in my pitching, and a wider arc with my full swing motion... It paid off on the par-5s today(1 and 9)... I also read LSW again this morning... Don't know that if that counts as practice...

      Question About UK vs. U.S. Course Etiquette

      By RickK · Posted

      The term I hear most often is "double teeing" which means the course/club has starting times from both the #1 and #10 tee.  I have encountered this many times and we know if we are the first group off #10, we may well get to #1 and have to wait because there are groups still with tee times yet to tee of #1.  In most instances, where the course/club has a starter, he normally explains this situation.  In this case, the pro advised what you would could/would encounter making the turn to #1.  And, that is exactly what happened.  Probably would have been wise to talk to the pro after playing back 9 and ask when you could go off #1 since apparently that club does not double tee.   Regardless, the outburst towards the other group was uncalled for.  And, I don't blame the member for being upset.  As a member of a private club, you are responsible for the actions of your guest.  I have played many times as a guest in the UK and I am pretty damn sure my host was responsible for my actions while at the club.  I know at the clubs I have belonged to here in the US, that is the way it is.  As a matter of fact, the member may find himself being brought before management and facing possible suspension.  So, I don't blame him for being upset.  However, as the host, he really should have stepped up and put a stop to the OP's actions.  OP makes this statement "I now understand that standards are different on the "private course." But I'll take those lessons to the muni, too."  No, the standards are not different.  You, sir, seem to be just a bit hard headed and belligerent, even if you are college professor...which possibly explains a lot.   JMHO

      Day 32: worked for about 10 minutes on my drill. Filmed it as well for a check in. I think it’s slightly better but still seeing some issues.

      Day 44 (26 Dec 25)  -  played in the Friday men’s shootout with a twist - used the Toney Penna persimmons and MacGregor blades - had a blast playing these clubs.  They really help in zoning in on making solid ball contact.  Scoring was solid - had several looks at birdie and had a few par saves.  Overall a day of focused course management.
