11/16 - kettle bell swings for balanced weight shift reinforcement this morning for a few minutes.

11/17 - ^^^^^ in addition to weight shift, focused on steady head. When done, I used 9i for 5-8 mins to do the same.

Still burned up about the 4 three-putts yesterday. I've gotta get better with 35-50' lags

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.

11/17: Devised a sort of new training aid that should help me with my elbow location in transition.

11/17- mirror work focusing on back of left wrist vs. club face. Did backswings focusing mainly on where the wrist should be, with awareness of how the club face was aligning at the top. Range tomorrow, and I think I can make a decent video with better position at the top. Previously my left wrist has been erratic. Lots of cupping.

15 min alt Sklz gold and driver with hat tucked under right armpit. Hard to believe any power with this swing. Seems more defined in terms of swing but not entirely convincing. Followed up with 5 min of 7 iron. Some gratifying thumping on carpeted wood floor but not enuf and worries about trashing floor

 20 min alt Sklz and driver, then 7 iron. Continued to put hat under right arm pit to encourage inside out swing.  Getting a bit more normal

tomorrow I travel for holiday and will be away from home all week so I have to find a way to practice without clubs to keep inside-out routine alive. Suggestions?

11/18- Video practice at range. Slow motion but still struggling to do the seemingly simple things my instructor is telling me to do. Still cupping at the top, and erratic wrist conditions at impact- sometimes wide open, sometimes too closed, etc. Will just submit next vids, even if no progress. Should be able to get out next week, temps in 50s.

Hit balls into the net. I had the boy record me with the iPhone, but they were all sideways.

Still practicing my hip turn and paying attention to sway and right-hip position. Draw is still present but is quite erratic at times. Seems to get more predictable and easier to control when I think about proper wrist, hand, and clubface position going back. It's hard to fight the urge to work on controlling it, so I switch to chipping practice before I start getting off track.

Playing 18 tomorrow. Going to try and get a good warm-up session in and then just focus on making shots when I play.

Completed a 20 min swing session alternating Sklz swing trainer and driver, with right arm holding hat. Inside swing feels better, still unsure how this will go with a ball.

Switched to Sklz and 7 iron and had to stop. When I get swing right, club thumps floor too hard. Will have to find a space outside

next 7 days, i practice swings with no Sklz, no driver, no club at all. Maybe i can find a broom at my brother's house.

      "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.
