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. :cry:

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 :-P 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.

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.

    • Day 85 - Played 9. Driver was solid, approach shots were pushed, chipping/pitching was better, putting was rough. 
    • Day 514, March 28, 2024 Quick ten minutes while waiting for the wife to come home for our trip.
    • Day 262: did a stack session. Worked on rehearsal swings during rest breaks. 
    • It's been a little more than a year since I can last remember hitting golf balls and today I just got my second cortisone injection in 11 months. I thought maybe shortly after the first injection I was going to be able to start playing again with therapy but the pain while doing my backswing past halfway just didn't subside like just lifting my hands up in the air did. So today the Orthopedic surgeon put more in the backside of the shoulder than before to address the tendon more. I'm going to try therapy for another 3 months and if I  can't swing the club without pain then I think surgery is going to be my next option.
    • I was just down visiting family in southern California and we played a couple rounds of golf. I hit my ball into the deep rough near some tree's and my cousin's husband offered me his Sim 2 Rescue Hybrid to try out. And I felt the same way, wow! I loved it, it also had a Pure DTX grip on it which I loved. As soon as I got back home, I ended up buying two used Calloway Rogue X hybrids, 3 and 5. So far I've only tested them out at the range, but I love them. They're much more forgiving than irons for me.
