8/8/2015 5 minutes of mirror work. Mainly impact path. 8/9/2915 Shot some fresh video to compare with last weeks footage. 7i full swings in the garden.

[tnull]

Driver swings, no ball. Worked on no tension so the club would fully release. Keep head still, good tempo. Playing 18 tomorrow.

8/9/15: I worked on some 40 yard shots, and hit some full 6 and 7 irons before my round today... I shot 41-46-42=129 +21 for 27 holes today I think at least, I didn't really keep score.... I hit 13/21 Fairways today and not very many damn greens...

Focusing on the pivot.

[Slowcelica]

Practiced the closed face drill outside with a club focusing on keeping the right arm relaxed longer in the downswing, not a real great practice session today, but I'm going to get it back at lunch for my second session.

[Lihu]

Focusing on the pivot.

Driving range was closed, so I played a horrible 10 holes. Stopped when I finally reversed the trend.

The pivot seems to be critical. If I turn my hips too fast bad things happen, too slow and I'm back to the old problem. Lots more work on the range. . .

Did 5 to 10 of my standard mirror work at the gym. Same mapping and drills. Worked a bit at the end on my hip turn from A6 to 9.

8/10/15: Slept for 10 hours and thought about golf... Worked on grip pressure and feeling the clubhead's weight better with all clubs for a while 20 minutes or so... Alina was 8 over for 6 holes from the "Alina Tees" I didn't play today just caddied for Alina

[Unkynd]

Worked at the range working on focus. Last few rounds I've thrown awake strokes due to my mind wandering.

[AbsoluteTruths]

Went to the range today. Hit wedges, irons, hybrid, and driver. Practice chipping, pitching, and putting also.

[Gipper]

Sunday wedge work in the yard Monday full swing practice with 3 wood and hybrids. Keeping arm tucked

[Sassafrass]

I spent 10 mins working on getting my weight forward in my downswing.  I pushed my office chair around.

Played 18 at the Emerald course at the Wailea Golf Club in Maui. Shot 85. Worked on no tension. When I swung with no tension, my drives were straight with a baby draw. As tension creeped in, a power fade. Too much tension and more severe left to right. All playable, but the draw produced the greatest distance. Overall, the things I have been working on payed off. First round breaking 90. Did some lag putting after the round. Poa Ana greens are different and tougher than So Cal greens. Too many three putts. Turned possible pars into bogies and birdies into pars. Three putts hung on the lip, one revolution more and it falls. Such is golf...great day and wonderful course.

Outside tonight with a chair against my hip ... I felt this weekend I was falling backwards and not moving forward.

8/10/2015:

30 hip twists

Slow motion with both 1/2 and full swings. I was watching the "Diagonal Sweet Spot" videos and doing some drills.

[Shindig]

30 balls at the range tonight (arrived about 8am). Focused the first ten on no more than A3. I felt my lower body wasn't quiet as much as it should have been during the round yesterday and I feel it doesn't hurt to review important things instead of waiting for them to go wrong (I realize this is not necessarily practicing at the edge of my ability). For the rest, focused on not going too fast and transitioning well. I'm not really adding anything this week because the club championship starts on Friday!

[Lihu]

10 minutes of slow swings, focused on my hip turn. Also, normal speed swings to get the feel for the body synchronization.
