Worked on my getting my club perpendicular when my left arm is parallel to the ground this morning. Basically a wrist hinge drill for 10 to 15 minutes this morning.

100 Consecutive Days of Practice. 

This and posture are my two big issues right now.

Having a hard time finding the focus to practice properly lately. Stepped out front to hit a few in-between rainstorms and found myself rushing a lot and just not into it. Almost gave up but was able to reset and ended up having a nice little 15 minute practice session of slow backswings, pausing at top to feel hip-turn, then after a few of those, a nice easy swing at the ball.

I believe the steady practice regiment I've been following allowed me to pull myself back in and not waste today's practice session. I started out not wanting to practice and just wanting to hit some wedges for fun, but after a few bad shots I started getting a little miffed and was just swinging at the ball trying different things, telling myself it didn't really matter- I was just having fun (but in reality, I wasn't really having any fun). Was ready to call it quits for the day but then found the reset button and had a great practice. Wish I could find that button on the course!

10 minutes of putting practice today. Short putts, 3-6 feet. Mostly straight, but a few breaking putts for variety.

It's been too hot for the range the last few days and I've only done some mirror work. I won't even go to the range before today's league round. It will be 96F and high humidity.

My 58 degree wedge has been giving me fits with pitching lately. So I basically said screw it and worked with the 54 degree wedge this morning on my pitching for about ten minutes. Focused mostly on the feeling of dealing cards with my right hand. My 58 degree is on temporary timeout from pitching and any kind of shot with more than just a chipping motion. If I have an 75 yard shot, I'll just hit a roughly 10 to 2 54 degree. And saw it off down to pitching motion.

Lots of rain by the time I got home this evening. Spent some time inside practicing my putting. Straight putts down the hallway at various distances, 3-8 feet.

Putting w/ Alina this morning... We did the "tee drill" to 15' first to make the fifteen footer wins. Of course Alina won. I haven't made a fifteen footer since the 17th hole at Conklin.

(oops, noticed I used the wrong date in my post yesterday, hopefully that won't hurt me :)

8/12/2016:

Finally convinced my son to come out in the yard and hit a few with me. It's funny, I've been asking, "wanna play some golf with me," and he just says, "maybe later." But tonight, as I was walking to the door I looked at him and said, "wanna come out and get beat in golf?" and he jumped right up and came outside with chest puffed up. :-P

After he went inside, I spent some time alternating between slow backswings, stopping at the top to focus on feeling of my right hip stretched away from where it started, and then an easy ~60-70% full shot.

    • Day 82: 3/18/24 Tried a Stack session but could not certify my warmup. Finished with indoor chips and putting. 
    • Day 96 (18 Mar 24) - Continued work with the Divot Board with the GW and hard foam balls.  Focused on small target/small miss…setup to hit target about 30yds out - success if it hit within 6’ circle of target, fail if outside.  Had decent success averaging about 3 out of 4 (hitting in groups of four).  
    • Wordle 1,003 3/6 🟩🟩🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩   felt a little like Wyndham when the first three green and I began the fist pump…
    • I'm relieved someone finally defined hiking. I was giddy when I saw these new TPI videos a day or so after they dropped. Very easy to understand the problem and solution the way they have presented it. Been working on fixing this for about a year and a half now. It's nice to be able to call it something so communication becomes easy.  I was working on more lateral and up too, but just having someone define it clearly in video form was so helpful for me to continue confidently with what I thought was wrong and how I had to fix it.  My conceptual error here was just trying to rotate like a tour pro but without including the necessary forward pressure/weight shift associated with enough lateral and upward motion of the pelvis.  This video is great too, as is Greg Rose.
    • Day 2.    couple mins of rolling putts end over end.    10 mins of Slow, mirror work, working on starting the downswing and impact wrist positions. Hit a couple balls into the net after.    Then finished with a couple chips to see if I could repeat what I worked on yesterday.
