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.

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.

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.

    • 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.
