8/30/15: Played 17 holes today against Millsky, won my match 2 and 1... I have a tough match next Saturday... I'll have to play my absolute best next weekend in order to advance to the finals... I may have to beat the top three seeds in the flight to win the flight and take home the mashed potatoes and gravy... Need to work on Hybrids and 3 wood off the ground... Hit it well 4 GIR and 7 more nGIR... Need a little practice on some iron shots though...

Outdoor swings over grass. Driver and 5h. Working on a still head, no tension and good hip slide/turn. Club head speed feel like it is increasing.

Thick rough is brutal... Especially when you have the ball bury at the bottom of the rough, rough 2 feet off the fairway is the worst... 8/31/15: As I have 8-iron or less into most par-4s, I worked on my approach shots from 150 yards and in today, 8i, 9i, PW, AW, SW... I need to hit AT LEAST 8 GIR to beat Jess on Saturday (Jess is a guy by the way)... Jess hits it well he's just wild sometimes, and I drive it well enough to put the pressure on his driver... I just need 8 GIR or half of however many holes we end up going on Saturday... I finished up with some chipping...

2 driving range sessions before work. Played a putting game and finally beat one of my range buddies with this new "stroke".

First session was at 6:00am and, after dropping the kids off at school, the second was a short one where I was testing a higher tee with my driver again.

I did some practice in the back yard and living room focusing on my priority pieces. Not starting my left knee too soon and shifting weight in the down swing.

I should be able to post some video of this on my swing thread later.

Pushed my office chair around.  Worked on getting my weight forward and not turning my hips to much during my back swing.

Putting on my 36" ruler board.  Treated each putt as a real putt on course.  Went through my routine and then putted.  Did 30 putts, 20 went the full length.
