12/5: Working on the same thing as yesterday, plus a little putting work finding the sweet spot (an over-neglected aspect of putting):

12/5 - Mirror work at the gym. Focused on transition again. It snowed today, so Friday's round may have been the last outdoor round this year.

Day 5; a little combo chipping, pitching, and putting practice for me today. 

The idea was to chip and/or pitch the ball to my one putt range. At 4-5 feet I usually make those putts more so than not. Especially the straight ones  To get to this one putt range required a good green read, a correct club selection, a correct address position,  a decent stroke, and hitting my chosen land area. Of the 70 balls I hit, 8 of them did require me to putt. 

Since it was early, I had the chipping/pitching green to myself. This green has 6 mini pins on it, which meant I had quite a few different reads, and landing areas to deal with.

12/06: 20 minutes, including reviewing past lessons. Worked on A3 to A4 (major piece from last lesson), and slow move to A6 (reviewed past notes on body alignments at A6). 20 minutes total. At the top, reviewed hand depth and wrist position. Then slow to A6, where shoulders mostly flat and pointing down target line, hips open a bit.

Guess I did not hit the submit button properly for day 5 yesterday. My post was waiting for me. Oh well. 

Day 6. We played 18 holes to day. Nothing real good, and nothing real bad. Shot an 84 which was 4 strokes above my scoring goal. 2 strokes out of my comfort zone. Lost a drive left, and by the time I was done with that par 4 hole I am writing down a snow man 8. Pretty sure I lost my balance during my driver swing on that one by swinging too hard. Have not had an 8 in a long , long time. 

[CarlSpackler]

More slow swings with flat left wrist. 

[Strat-Pack Rick]

Late day at work today. No net today. Im doing mirror work (right elbow) and take away stuff --head still. Putting on my birdie ball putting green. Too fun !!  Dang im tired today , I got this !!!

[Mico]

5 min Sklz swing trainer only, working on uncoil and inside out swing

[boogielicious]

12/7-Mirror work at the gym. Focused on impact position including up to A8. All slower swings stopping at A8.

[RandallT]

12/7: Range for about an hour. Worked on applying my "new" backswing that I've been working on. Always tricky to move from mirror work to real swings for me. From reviews of video at the range, I think I did better keeping left shoulder down, but wrist was cupping, and I was getting steep.

12/7: spent about 30 minutes looking at some video and doing some mirror work.
