6/2/15... While it was slow at Friendly's... I grabbed my spatula and worked on keeping my wrist flat at the top of the back swing (yes my spatula)... Its hard to get much practice in when you work a ten hour shift, so you have to get creative sometimes... Also worked on my posture at set-up using the back of a chair (again while it was slow)

Could only manage 5 minutes mirror work on my set-up and pre-shot routine......due to waking up with a really painful left shoulder blade! Hope a bit of rest will sort it.

Followed by short swing (chipping/bump & run) to get my wrists through the ball

Practiced "chipping draws" at the range with my driver, wow do I get some strange looks doing this. Still waiting for someone to give me advice I'm sure it won't take long.

6/3: 5 minutes in front of the mirror trying to get squared up at address and feeling a swing with the body instead of just the arms.

I've been having trouble with pulls again lately (thus my username) so I took a few practice balls in the backyards and aimed at a post in my back yard from about 15 feet away and paid attention to where the ball started. I do pull the ball but I think I also line up wrong a lot. Seems like I line up my club and then take an open stance. I practiced feeling like my stance was too closed and started hitting the post regularly. My only concern is how do I know for sure if I am lining up correctly now or if I am in fact too closed and just pulling the ball?

Really a looooooooooong day at work, but managed to stumble out in the backyard for some putting practice ... actually kind of nice to get out by myself.
