Did some setup drills and shot a bucket on grass at the south range this morning. Not sure if I have time for another round this morning. Work.

9/9/15: Hit some 4, 5, and 6 irons this morning before work, focusing on in-line impact and weight forward.

Did some setup drills and shot a bucket on grass at the south range this morning. Not sure if I have time for another round this morning. Work.

Felt pretty confident that my setup is working, but I only used it on a grass driving range and a driving range mat. The real test will be no a course.

Only 2 buckets today. It's really hot outside. . .

Played 45 holes today. Once I figured out my main focus should be to make sure I'm dropping my right elbow at the top, I was able to hit the ball really well!

Practiced outside with long irons ... 5 iron in particular ... focused on stead head and moving hips .

Lesson.  Video review of 7i and 3w swings.  A little bit of tension in both, so the left elbow is not folding all of the way.  Good contact in the middle of the club face.  Good shoulder turn, good hip slide starting the down swing.

Lag putting from 25 feet.  Good tempo, speed is just about right.  All putts ended up in easy kick in range.

[Lihu]

Hope I didn't overdo again this evening, another large bucket. Went back to the range to work on setup before my LSW day tomorrow.

Hope I'm not the only one either. . .

After a night of drinking ... I practiced putting before my round ... I just did not feel like full swings that early in the morning.

[Lihu]

Driving range at 5:00am, probably tired out my muscles, also made some corrections to my setup on driver a la LSW abs Erik.

Working on:

1)  Full shoulder turn

2)  Hip slide/turn

3)  Left elbow fold

9/10/15: Played 14 holes today, cannot hit a wedge from 70-105 yards to save my life.. Going to practice that some tomorrow. Details then

9/11/15: Patriot Day, let us not forget the innocent men and women who lost their lives 14 years ago today... Worked on the 70-105 yard, gap and sand wedge issue, I tried to soften up my wrists a little, by softening my grip a little, Jody was right, the more relaxed you are the bigger that sweet spot becomes... Remember, the things we take for granted like being able to practice our golf games and watch football with our families, are protected by our military... So if you know someone in the military or see someone in uniform, Sincerely thank them for protecting out freedom.

Was on a LARGE practice putting green today, so I took advantage and practiced distance putts on 20 footers ...

[Lihu]

Driving range at 5:00am, probably tired out my muscles, also made some corrections to my setup on driver a la LSW abs Erik.

Driving range last night 2 large buckets, with 50 driver to work on what I learned at LSW. 1.5 large buckets this morning and 50 balls at lunch working on driver and 3W off the deck.

LSW is like magic. Didn't take the "see results immediately" literally enough. Just the one thing I learned is amazing. I can't wait until I apply the rest of the book.

[tnull]

Pitching indoors with a foam ball into the wall.  Float loady....let gravity bring the club down and turn through the shot.  Chipping as well, land it at the base of the wall.  The half and 3/4 swings with the wedge on the carpet, brush the carpet.  Smooth tempo.

[Lihu]

Hit about another 50 balls with driver to confirm what I did at lunch. Then hit a ton of irons.

9/12/15: Spent 10 minutes this morning working on a smoother swing with a 6i, focused on softer wrists and a smoother transition at the top.
