Thanks. She's 14 now. I took her to the cemetery and let her drive the Smart car. I figured anybody she could hit would already be dead. She's been driving carts so long it was totally fine.

Walked 18 today. 17 actually. I got tired of following the "date golfers" and put down a bogey on 18. Shot +10 with no doubles.  P.s. Forgot my Game Golf at home.

Firstly, Low point control is controlling the low point of the swing so that it is in front of the ball's position (while at address) so that you will have a descending blow on the back of the ball.

Well, I'm out again this month -- a hard drive crash last weekend kept me from posting. Didn't stop me from practicing, though. Focus all week has been the same, 3-5 minutes of wall drill, paying attention to hip turn and tilt, then 15-45 minutes of slow backswings working up to an easy 3/4 swing hitting shots. Lots of chipping practice sprinkled here and there to keep practice interesting and fun.

20 min alternating Sklz, driver and at the end 7 iron 

the translation to the driver is getting better and better. Can't wait try it hitting golf balls

7 iron complete miss. Timing is off, sequencing doesn't generate inside-out swing with whoosh finish.

Back to Clay Ballard for ideas.

If you're bouncing around from idea to idea… you're not doing it right.

11/12: Practiced my priority piece before my game tomorrow after working with Cody from the golf team on developing a basic putting stroke.

The practice swings raise my awareness of how I swing, but without an instructor I seek a model to emulate.

Played 18 today. A mysterious draw has entered my game. Drives were good to great, iron contact still good but had more bad shots than usual. Chipping and putting were great all day, got up and down for par twice and had zero three-putts.

On this note...I've been doing a pretty good job at focusing only on my priority piece (wall drill/hip turn/no sway backwards) for the past month or so, and just in the past week, out of no where, I've started hitting a draw. I can feel a difference in my swing, especially during slow-mo work, but I'm not quite sure about it because I don't feel like I'm doing anything differently (on purpose, at least). Doing my best to ignore it and continuing to follow my normal practice routine.

11/13 - grip, stance/address with 6i. Focused on keeping right elbow anterior to the shirt seam during the backswing while making an inside-out path.

20 min. of chipping/pitching practice in the yard this morning. I have 3 targets at different distances that I alternate between. Might hit the driving range later if I can talk one of my kids into going with me.

Thanks, Mico. No worries, still have everything. I must admit, I'm a nerd at heart so a week full of disk recovery/imaging and OS installs has actually (or sadly ;-)) been fun...takes me back.

11/13: Played 18 at Olde Stonewall earlier today. Was relatively warm for this time of year, so that was good.

Finally took the practice swing to the course. Not pretty, lots of slicing and not much inside-out as I had trained.

Drive was more predictable albeit with slice than anything else. Shot a 93, 8 over my handicap.

Only upside was more overall core strength.

Back to practice swings tomorrow...

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT · Posted

      Day 33 (20 Feb 26) - played the Friday men’s group shootout.  Solid day of working from some tough shot results - made for a good number of up and downs for par (8 of the 9 pars were such). Cart mate and I discussed the visual aspect of the game - and how much it plays into the individual’s mindset during the round.  Love when the discussion is focused on learning and taking positives away and not just how bad the miss may be.

      Still kinda working on the backswing stuff. I can turn < 45°, but I tend to tilt toward the target a little. I can tilt away from the target, but I tend to turn a bit more. Case in point. I can do it, though: This I can do all day (it's more lateral than I want, but it's very linear): Here's what 38° of turn looks like. Almost freaking nothing.

      Good progress. I am finally feeling like I am settling my weight into my right foot earlier in the backswing. Right hip sinks back, right leg feels staying flexed. Feeling very stable and firm in the right leg. I feel like I could do a good squat with that right leg. Very balanced.

      oops, forgot Pebble Beach and Spyglass.  And two more of the original Open rota, Prestwick and Musselburgh (with hickory shafted rentals).  And Muirfield.  And maybe a few more, I'll check my list when I get home.
