17 min. Alt Sklz trainer and driver. Trying to get my mind right about swinging from inside out. Can't be that hard. Feel like I am fighting off an inside pitch in baseball when I swing. Hope that's it. Gonna have to start taking video. 

Thursday, gonna play 18 since visitors will be with us all weekend. Will be challenge to meet the 5 min practice per day. Probably gonna have to sneak off (Hey Mico, what are you doing in the bathroom still?)

That's dedication. Nice.  I have done that at work on busy days. 

My practice today was watching my fresh evolvr video and working on incorporating the new setup tweaks

Day 19: Played a "chilly" 18 holes this morning. Shot an 84 with 30 putts. Focus was to keep the ball in play, and live with what ever I had left over. Like I said it was bit on the chilly side. In the low 30s with a slight breeze when we started. Had some really good shots, and a few not so good. Finished the round with the same two balls I started with, which in itself was an achievement, with the water hazards, and the leaves every where.

Just spent about 20 mins doing the line drill in the sand. I cant believe how difficult it is to make 5 perfect swings in row !! Its tough for me anyway. Getting better though, I couldnt do 3 in a row just a short time ago. Have any of you tried this drill. Weight transfer and a forward swing bottom is the goal. You know instantly if you missed.

Day 20; did about 30 minutes of swinging my Kallassy club. Not a straight 30 minutes, but in between raking leaves. It's just a maintenance club to help keep my body in swing shape.

20 min practice with a break through. I bought a thick welcome mat to serve as my practice surface so now I can practice my iron without leaving a divot in the wood floor. Did my alt Sklz swing trainer with the driver for 12 minutes and then 8 min of alternating Sklz with my 7 iron. What a difference. I was whiffing with the seven, not hitting the floor as I worked on inside out swing. This makes me think that I need more work with my irons.

gonna have to invest in some almost golf balls too

Continued working on hand position at and during take away to increase depth.  Feeling some tension in and under the shoulder blade so I need to keep stretching (rotating) back slowly. :)

Headed to the range to work on the short game a bit. The course is closed Christmas day but you can walk it for free, so thats my plan. Looking forward to that !! When you have to walk to the ball, it makes sense to keep it in the short grass, haha. Might hit a bucket with my long irons as well. Always a good thing I reckon !!

Day 21; did some more swings with my Kallassy club. About 30 minutes worth in between other outdoor chores. Again, this is just a maintenance club exercise to keep my body in golf swing shape.

12/21 - 20 min range session. Hit irons well with focus on steady head and balanced weight shift. Struggled initially with driver, but slowed my transition and did better, focusing on getting my hands deeper with an inside-out swing.

12/21: 15 min. slow motion full swings in mirror. Focus on backswing elements from last few lessons, but also went through full swing slow motion to get the continuity.  Gonna hit 49F tomorrow and sunny. Range day- but only problem is that my favorite range has sun glare issues that time of day. Will see.

1/2 hour take aways to check deeper hand position.  Afterwards hit a few balls.  Struck the ball terrible.  Must be working.  A sign of change for me.  :). Keep grinding.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 ·

      Went back to feeling the hands slowing down and stopping at A3. Feel a significant pause at A3. Hands down towards the ground. I get the mental image of Morikawa with how he pauses at the top of the swing, but then really rips at it.  For me, I have to  grip the club about 5° open. Or at least what looks like. With the driver, it’s another story. A bit of a regression here. Lots of John Daly– esque over swing. Lots of  shallowing with the body. If I try to send the club behind me with the hands going down to the ground. I have a bad habit of timing that with an over swing. So, I had to go back to feeling a significant positive again to control the back swing length. Then I went back to try to bring the back of the right hand down to my right hip. It feels stupidly, awkward. Like no flow to the swing. But from A6 through impact  feels more effortless. Now I’m hitting some decent push cuts this way. In the swing feels like it has no speed. But, it’s probably better overall. something I noticed that is way different from my irons to my driver is that with my irons I can keep my eyes looking at the ball much better through the downswing. With the driver, I find it pretty much impossible to do. Will post some videos later.

      18-Hole Approach Shot Game

      By iacas ·

      The text, in case Elon ever kills Twitter (more than he already has): Quick 18-hole game you can play on a launch monitor: Write 90, 95, 100, 105… 175 on 18 balls. Put them in a bag, pick one out, try to carry the ball the listed distance. Scoring: - ≤ 1 yd, Eagle - 1.1 - 3 yds, Birdie - 3.1 - 6 yds, Par - 6.1 - 9 yds, Bogey - > 9 yards, Double Of course, you don't have to do it with 18 balls; you can use slips of paper, etc. You could also set a start and end point and randomly generate 18 numbers, and play to those yardages. But… let's see some scores? Let's see what people get. The nice thing is… you only need a Mevo level device.

      He's entertaining. I still don't "like" him, and he has said a lot of stupid shit over the years, recently about the LIV stuff and the OWGR, etc. TikTok is infinitely more evil than Bryson.

      I have a full day of house hotel (not true, I went to Golf Evolution before 7am and just got home: four hours of work and 40 minutes of practice) and I'm primed to watch the U.S. Open.
