7/26/15: I've not posted in here in a while... Been away for a week working and such, been practicing though... Today I worked on putting again from 15' and in... I haven't played a round since the Club Championship, so I'm probably going to play 36 tomorrow...

Studying LSW, Launch It. Been my objective to get more distance, with accuracy. Range and course work later.

Mirror work to see what my "pushed shot" swing looks like versus my regular swing. Not a lot of difference, but my pushed shot swing really gets the club behind my hands. I need to work on my sequence. There are at least two reasons the club head gets ahead. I'm trying to figure out the sequences that gets me the most power and still keeps the club in the proper position.

Closed face drill outside with a club.

Did 5 minutes of mirror work before my workout.  Focused on tempo and getting into the proper position at A6.

Spent some time on the range before golf this morning and used a tripod to practice Key#2 in the living room this afternoon.

(9 Hole course)... 5 tee is right by the clubhouse... 14th, 385 yards, par 4... Hit a funny sounding drive about 225 into the wind... Had 176 to the hole, hit a 5i just short of the green. 9i chip and run from 40 feet stone dead, par... 15th, 355 yards, par 4... Sliced my drive into right rough, 7i from 155 onto front of green 3 putts from 30 feet, bogey 5, +8 thru 11... 16th, 187 yards, par 3, hit 4h into wind to 25 feet, 2 putts for a routine par... Still +8 thru 12... 17th, 344 yards, par 4(I measured from where the tee was to the apex then from the apex in), Good drive that ran out of fairway, GW from 107 short right of the green, chip and run 8 feet right of the hole, drained the putt for a par still +8 thru 13... 18th, par 4, 462 yards today, my nemesis Hole which I think of as a short par 5... Hit a great drive 255 down middle 206 to flag, tried a choke down 3W downwind and topped it, my pitch from 40 was slightly thin and ran over the green. Chip from back absolutely stone dead 4 inches from hole, tap-in bogey +9 thru 14... Tenth, par 5, 515 yards, Yanked drive on left rough, blocked second shot in right rough, hit third shot on downslope outside bunker, chipped well to 18 feet and two putted for a bogey... +10 thru 15... 11th, par 3, 180 yards today, Fanned a four-iron just past tree... Missed my spot on my pitch and it hit false front took 3 to get down... DOUBLE BOGEY, +12 thru 16... Now for everyone's favorite part, my last two holes... As I mentioned before I shot 82, this course is a par 72, so I had to play the last two holes in -2... Very weird birdies to finish but here we go... 12th, par 5, 495 yards... Popped up my drive about 180... I hit into a spot of obvious water damage, but didn't take relief, hit a funny 3h only about 145... I had 171 to the hole into a right to left breeze slightly hurting, I hit a light 5i to 6 feet, and canned the putt, BIRDIE 13th, 400 yards, par 4... Hit my drive in right rough trying to cut corner... Had 139 to flag for my second shot, I hit a light 8i downwind, must of caught a flyer because I was 17 yards long under a tree... I could barely get at my ball there was a limb hanging pretty low... So I got in there as best as I could, with a back pin I didn't have a lot of green to work with, and had to carry the rough... I kind of just tried to feel the weight of a 50 foot chip with the green running away trying to land it 25 feet... I figured if I landed it on the fringe... I'd only have a couple feet for par... It comes out at a good trajectory, lands right on the fringe, takes one bounce, starts rolling like a putt, I knew it was going to be good at this point, rolls out and drops right in the center of the hole, BIRDIE I must of jumped 3 feet in the air, it very well may be the best short game/trouble shot I have ever played it my life, because of the tree I think it topped Tiger's '05 Masters chip... I could take a shag bag from that spot and not Hole another one as long as I live

Very slow swings tonight ... concentrating on turn and beginning of down swing

Morning read of LSW, Chapters 4-6, and made note cards for mid day range work. Working on weight transfer. Yesterday at range much better flight pattern.
