Hit a decent amount of balls today making 3/4 fast (feel) swings to speed up my swing. Practice was 3 balls with a 3/4 swing, then 1 full swing.

I'm on vacation this week and have missed few days on purpose to let my body heal. I've been having trouble with my knees, left ankle and left shoulder and the rest is helping. I may hit into a net today though or play a par 3 course with my wife, friend and his son. No badge this month, but I'm ok with that.

10 minutes mirror work. played 15 and a half holes and hit a bucket starting at 4:30am this morning. 3.5 hours today. . .of play and practice.

This shorter swing had given me two of the longest drives that made the fairway I've made this year. They were both in the 290 range according to my phone GPS. Average was not nearly that high as I sliced a few as well. The funny thing is that I was getting used to hitting 235 carries on the driving range. The I blasted these two drives today. Thanks @mvmac .

This practice is not only making me stronger, but I seem to be hitting with what feel like a lot less effort. Thanks, @iacas . Your forcing me to practice on the range more has really improved my game. (Of course I practiced a bit too much on a few days.)

Erik really knows his stuff. I was actually thinking about this while walking up to a tee this morning.

Went to the range and hit about 30 balls. Took about an hour. Feel like I'm getting in the right position at the top, but the transition isn't right. Focused on that during the session today.

Worked on my new evolvr drill in the yard for 10 mins then hit 4 balls using my water bottle drill. I can do the drill no problem half swing or even 3/4 but full is going to take some time. The contact is great when I get this right.

Finally read through the terminology page on this site. Took more than 5 minutes doing it.

BTW, what's "mapping" a swing?

I asked Mike about that last week. He said "Going through the swing or what I'm working on very slowly."

    • 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.
