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!

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.

"Play Free Bird!"

Wait a sec this is the practice thread. I pitched some foam balls in the yard working on technique.

    • Agree. The next omission needs to be that ridiculous team concept. Nobody cares about a team when they really don’t represent anything except being a group of diminished morality and/or washed up pro golfers. Or wait, we’ve also got total nobodies who’ve accomplished nothing who now get a participation trophy! Doesn’t that sound invigorating!
    • LIV moving to 72 holes is a subtle admission that 54 holes was nothing but a joke all along. 
    • I was going to start a thread, but this seems like the place.  Yesterday I played my matchplay match at my local club.  My opponent is a notorious sandbagger by reputation.  The pro once pulled his tournament rounds from the past several years and said that it is impossible his tournament rounds are legit based on his handicap. here is what happened last night.  I am getting 4 shots from him.  His current handicap index is 15.3 i shot 45 on the front.   Was down 4 after nine, he had three birdies and shot even par. I was closed out on thirteen, we halved with a bogey.  That bogey put him one over par for his round.   He then took a triple on 14 and then left. As if that wasn’t bad enough, he lied about his score.   I wrote down on my scorecard what the score was.  He put higher values that didn’t affect the outcome of the match to pad his score and apparently make it not look as obvious.   He shot 36 on the front, but claimed 40.  The higher values for his score were in the online scoring app our club uses.  He did it this way: I won #7. He had a 2 foot putt for par that if he made would still lose the hole.   He picked up and said it didn’t matter since I won.  He took a 5 instead of a 4 after picking up a gimme. on #8 his approach shot on this par 4 was 8 inches.  I verbally conceded the putt but I had hit into a hazard.  I finished the hole with a 6.  Instead of birdie he put in for par. on #9, another par 4, his approach was to 18 inches.  I missed my par putt and then knowing how close I verbally conceded the putt.  I missed my bogey putt, he never conceded mine.  Instead of birdie he put down a bogey. He padded his score by 4 shots on the front.  And then did again on 10.  I rinsed one and made 6 on a par 4.  I putted out and he was fishing balls out of the lake so I drove off to the next tee.  He had 15 feet laying two but claimed a 5.     love to know the odds of a 15 handicap being even thru 12 holes on a round of golf.
