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.

11/14: Practice my piece after some so-so play yesterday. Face was slamming down when I felt I made a better backswing.

An odd cloudy day in central FL. Did some slow swings. Feels... pushing left arm away in backswing. Left hip back and up in downswing. Going easy. Back is very sore from playing yesterday.

20 min of swings. Sklz, driver and finally five minutes with 7 iron. Stop at the top, turn and swing from the inside out. Some over the top in practive, yet it translates pretty well to the driver. Sklz to  7 iron does not translate well at all. Feel like no whip on seven iron, can't seem to get motion to work

Like Carl, I have a sore back after 18 holes. Think that I was swinging too hard.

20 min. Alt Sklz gold and driver and can feel if I am swinging from inside. Decent control albeit some unbalance and lack of follow thru. For last five minutes, swap out driver for 7 iron. Complete discoordination. 7 iron won't whip thru and can't hit ground on swing thru (maybe better as the 7 iron may trash wood floor thru carpet). Need to work getting iron to go inside out.

Started practicing my full swing and just couldn't get into it and had too big of an urge to tinker, so I switched gears and just did chipping practice for about 20 minutes.

11/16: Mirror work today. I may never get over how bizarre and extreme things have to feel to produce the right mechanics. ;-) (And yes, I bear this in mind when giving instruction.)

Set up the net and hit balls into it. Why is it that my swing is much better hitting into a net? Need to ponder this.

20 min alt. Sklz and driver. Putt a hat under my right arm to try to keep from coming over the top. Felt really weird, with right arm stuck to my side and not fully extended. More turn in the swing but I continued to come over the top on a few swings.

when I switched to 7 iron, used same excerci se with hat under right arm and slowed swing down so that club brushed carpet. A bit better feel and club did not seem to flail as much

      "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.

      My Swing (iacas)

      By iacas · Posted

      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.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      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.
