Day 25; went to the short game practice area. I recieved 4 dozen of those Kirkland balls, and  loaded 14 of them into my shag stick. Spent about an hour on putting, chips, and pitches. Going to work on getting familiar to these new balls. Not much difference from my normal gamers as far I can tell.

Day 26; Played 18 with our park supt. Shot an 80 in 40*f +/-  clear weather. Due to clothing, my full swings were of the abbreviated style. Used one of those Kirkland balls the entire 18. It's a decent ball. Focus today was on my short game, since I kept everything in play on my full swings. 30 putts, with two chip ins. The lady I played with shot a 78. She's a pretty decent golfer. Both times we have played, she has broken 80. We played from the 6500 yards tees.

Visitors are gone!

20 min Alt. Sklz swing trainer and driver. With Sklz, I feel the turn more and even have to use lower body on swing that seems to be  on plane from inside compared to driver where rotation is much more difficult to feel and/or achieve and swing from inside feels more dubious. Used 7 iron for final segment of swing session. Invented 10 thump rule--must do 10 thumps on mat for each sequence before advancing to next one, starting with small arm swing, then to "y" and finally to wrist hinge. Swing feels more real, not sure that is the case.

gonna play Thursday because doubtful that I will get out on Sunday, New Year's Day

Range day. Hour with video, focusing on backswing, flat left wrist. Bit of regression, so it's back to slow motion swings and exaggerations, I suppose. Perhaps need a fresh look by instructor on what else to try. Progress seems to have hit a wall.

12/27 - Filmed my swing indoors for upload to Evolvr. Lighting wasn't great. I may try again this weekend outdoors if it is not bone-chilling cold.

Played 18 holes this morning. Cool weather is keeping the regular crowd away. Shot an 82 for my effort. Focus was to keep my full swing shots in play. Lost one ball to leaves. Just a consistant round for me. The other guy is buying lunch as I type this....lol

20 min Alternate Sklz with 7 iron, where I did my 10 thumps per sequence--small swing...thump, thump, thump..."y" swing...thump, thump...then wrist hinge...thump, thump...Back to Sklz swings and another set of iron thumping before going to driver. Working on inside out swing with light ground brush. Feels good, god only knows if the swing path is!

will find out on ThursdaY when I go to range and play 18--last round of the year!

      "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.

      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.

      Have You Played Where a PGA, Champions, or LPGA Event Has Been Played?

      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.
