Outside- full swings, tried focusing on a dimple... Seemed to work well if I led with my hips.

Ranged a bit and then played 18 holes.  Ball striking is coming along and the putting wasn't awful today.

More alignment drills, and more slow swings using the hips to originate the swing.

8/29/15: Played the qualifying round of the 2015 Ithaca City Golf Championship today... Shot 90... Played very well the first 13 or so holes... Actually didn't make a double bogey until the 12th, because I got stupid with a 240 yard 3-wood second on the par 5 when I should of "laid up", and left a pitch on in 4 and 3-putted, triple at 14... After a perfect drive... Finished the last 7 double, bogey, triple, par, double, bogey, double, after a par, bogey start on the back, 42 out 48 in... Match play tomorrow, which is fun hopefully I can win my match and go get cremed on Saturday next week...

Played 18 today and broke 80. Only chipped before the round, not putting. Putter was on fire on the course.

Hit around 20 balls today doing the closed face drill, focusing on the right elbow not extending so early. I know I'm making progress because I either hit the ball straight or a slight draw yesterday when I played. Only a few fades other than driver, which even that went straight down the middle for the most part.

Putting drills indoor. Trying to get a smoother stroke. Muscles too broken down to hit. Need a recovery day.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 11, 1/11/26.  Today was putting, along about 6' of carpet, with coins on the ground to keep me cognizant of what I'm doing.  I think this is the at-home drill from LSW. (Ugh, missed two of the last four days -- 1/10 and 1/8)

      Mizuno Jpx One Driver & Fairway Woods

      By M2R · Posted

      I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
