5 to 10 minutes mapping my swing. I did spend a bit of time with my grip. In this hot weather, I am having a bit of trouble because I need to wear gloves do the excess sweat. I usually don't wear gloves.

Spent five to ten mins mapping swing from P4 to P7 concentrating on weight shift into office chair at work.

Funny, I'm also doing the office chair thing. . .

Range - 1st ten shots were hit with my feet together using my sand wedge.

I practiced getting my weight forward.  I used my 3wood.  I would hit 5 shots with a slower swing focusing on getting my weight forward.  Then I would hit a normal shot.

Practiced rolling putts over a dime from a foot away with different length back strokes for 20 minutes. Trying to insure my tempo stays the same and not hitting the ball for more power! Putting has been holding me back from better scores after solid ball striking, particularly for approach shots!

Indoors tonight ... forget who's swing thread I saw this on, but it was suggested to put your butt next to a wall and turn until your hands hit the wall ... at as easy as it sounds ... Also did some outdoor work trying to mimic the above.

While making dinner and tomorrow's lunch, I did the "driver practice at home" (p.82 LSW) drill with the medicine ball. It feels more like exercise than practice.

Spent an entire bucket working on my "less stress" movement. I'm trying to move even slowerer and syrupier, and it seems to be giving me the "push"es I want. The ball is surprisingly going almost the same distance as my pulls only they are going the other way. I think it's because my hips are clearing better and my shoulders and arms follow better?

So here I am in my office, practicing my takeaway and transition using a coat hanger. Back gently to A3, let my left knee kick in a little bit, right leg straighten, get to A4, kick left knee out towards target as I open my hips as I transition. Maybe I should have closed the blinds before doing this. Not a bad way to spend a short break just the same. Should have actual range time tomorrow and Saturday before facing a match on Sunday.
