Boy does the touch go haywire when you don't play much... I shot 44 for nine. I just need to practice more. Driving was good, irons sucked, short game was ok. I took about a week off from practicing. I just needed a break.

Played 18 holes, worked on some right elbow things.

Didn't play great, but, didn't care about the short stuff.

2.32 mile walk/jog followed by a swim. Worked on slow mo backswings. Added a small thing, trying to keep the left arm straighter.

9/16 - greenside chips (SV 3) x 45 mins mixed with 15 mins of putting with focus on bead & speed

[CarlSpackler]

Got creative this evening. Had to skim the pool, so I gripped the pool skimmer like a golf club and made swinging motions through the water.

Played 18 holes today. Shot 45-43=88. The front nine I couldn't buy a putt. Knocked an 8-iron pretty much stiff on 2 and made par. Nearly DROVE the 350-yard 5th (it was downwind, tee was up about 15 yards, but I flushed that drive), and made par (was maybe 35 feet from the hole off the tee, was too bold with the eagle putt) Nutted another drive on 6, under a tree that you can't see from the tee, made bogey, was behind a tree off the tee on 7 and 8. (hit about 170 yard 8-iron downwind, I usually don't hit it that far on 7, hit it good off of 8 right behind the base of the tree did well to make bogeys). Hit a good drive on 9 that ran through the fairway behind another tree made 6 after a good lay-up to 135 (duffed an 8-iron). Made 5 at 10 Driver, 7-iron, Gap wedge, 2 putts. Parred 11 routinely. Caught a tree on my second shot on 12 and my third and made bogey. Hit a good drive at 13, blocked a 6-iron from 165 under a tree, did well to make 5, hit a bullet to 115 yards on 14 right behind a tree. Pulled a wedge and made another bogey. Good drive in the right semi on 15. Hit a gap wedge slightly left and short sided, made another bogey. I hit a pretty good 4-hybrid pin high right on 16, misjudged my chip and run and made bogey. Actually hit a very nice tee shot on 17, a good wedge to 20 feet and two putted for par. Hit a low cut off the tee on 18 that wasn't terrible, just left me 230 yards to the hole. Tried to hit 3-hybrid and blocked it right. The pitch caught a thin branch on the way through and killed it, three putts from the fringe later I walk off with a double bogey 6 and an 88. I spent 7 holes behind trees or more today.

Putted in the hotel room when I woke up too early to do much of anything else.

[CarlSpackler]

Played 18. Sucked really bad. That's as detailed as I can get without using foul language.

Going to putt (it's about all I can do on the course before the kids play).

9/18 - grip, stance, head position, weight shift x 10 mins

[Brian W]

I am not trying to backdate anything but I was on a golf trip this weekend with no cell phone reception so here is my stuff from the last 3 days

9/16 - played 18 and shot pretty well.  I was really stroking the irons with a perfect draw.  Really working on keeping the spine til and rotation correct.  I won 2 closest to the pin shots both within 8 feet and put them both in.  Final scores were 38-41 for 79

9/17 - played 27 today.  shot about the same as yesterday but left some putts short.  I did get the longest drive and hit the driver very well all day.  Hitting the greens but not quite as close as the day before.  I was really working on putting and spine tilt along with working on a little slower take away to smooth out my tempo.  Shot 42-42-43 for 127.

9/18 - Scramble today for 18 holes.  Played pretty poorly but had some nice shots.  Still drawing and striking irons well but the drives were a bit off.  Because it was a scramble, I saw it all as practice but I really focused on putting.  I spent about 20 minutes working on 6-12 foot putts before the round and it kinda payed off as I sunk a few of the birdie putts we had

9/18/16:

I worked on my tweener yardages with my wedges today. I suck at golf so it doesn't matter.

[CarlSpackler]

Not feeling motivated. Just made some 7i swings focusing on rotating around my spine. 

[roamin]

Unintentionally took a few days off from practicing. After my 91 last Sunday, I think some of the pressure to "fix things" has been lifted as I could probably find 5 or 6 strokes and get down around 85 if my chipping and putting had been better, but I don't see my score getting much lower until I can rely on my fairway woods the same way I rely on my irons now.

Played today and shot a 96 (48/48). Good drives for a change. I missed right with my irons a bit more than usual, but contact was nice and crisp all day.

9/19 - weight shift work with kettle bell x 5 mins. Will do some putting at office today with focus on 6-10'

[Brian W]

9/19 - Some putting in my basement but mostly workout with torso rotation and core.  Chipped around the backyard for a few minutes this morning with the 50 degree wedge rather than the 60 to see how it reacts out of thicker grass
