Back to slow mo swings. Back is still sore and stiff so I needed to stretch it out  quite a bit.

10/18. I'm back! Reviewed Evolvr lessons, and did 15min mirror work. Will go to range tomorrow for new video submission. Maybe even update to my swing thread. Odd, but I've been off a couple months or so from golf/TST, but I've been sorta mentally going through a lot of the items on my list from my instructor- at random times, just percolating the info. In the mirror work today, I felt like it was easier to flatten my club from the top than it has been. We will see tomorrow on video, but I'm hopeful that the time off didn't really stop some of my forward progress with the swing.

10/19 - kettle bells swings to reinforce balanced swing.

Grip, stance, steady head, slow take away, and balanced weight shift forward x 5 mins w/wedge

[CarlSpackler]

Split a bag of balls with my son tonight on the range.

10/20 - 5 mins on grip and stance. Dressed up this morning a little more for work so didn't want to take swings. Also slept in, so no gym work this morning

Day late (but I was out of the running for an award anyway!). 10/19: Good range session with video. Reviewed all my recent lessons. Practiced the backswing- hitting the points my instructor wants (bit steeper than I'm used to) and with toe less vertical at A2.  Then focused on laying the club down. Did lots of slower swings until I could get it mostly right. Tried to confirm at the end with a few full speed swings. Not great results on video, but contact was great. It felt like a better swing. Getting back out today for more video, and submission to instructor.

10/20: Range and video work. Tried to get some good swings in at slow-ish speeds, but nothing was working right today. Abandoned any attempt at submitting a video. The transition in particular felt clumsy. Will take another stab at it tomorrow and just submit whatever I come up with. I'm sure my instructor will easily spot where I've regressed so much after some time off, and I probably shouldn't try to self-diagnose.

10/21 - Diddo; will get in 9 this afternoon

10/21 Part II - shot 43 . Hit all fairways, only 3 greens 

[CarlSpackler]

Walked 9 today. It was awesome weather for walking. Shot a 42. I was striking the ball pretty well, but had a few bad chip shots. One of these days, I will learn that you have to carry the ball all the way to the green down here. Bermuda grass eats your ball alive.
