Spent an hour at the chipping green today. Flopped over the bunker and did short to medium chips from man made terrible lies. Also hit several out of the bunker trying to get to 3'. Great little session, tons of fun !!!

12/13: 10 minutes backswing work. Primarily A3 to A4 focus with a more correct (and less laid off) position at the top. Flat left wrist. Feeling more and more natural.

Day 14. Woke up sick this morning. Have contracted the industrial strength crud that is going around. Pretty sure I won't be swinging any clubs for a day or two. Even worse the weather guy is forcasting rain for the next few days. So, any golf stuff I migjt do, will be in the form of reading about it. Right now I am going to start reading bits and pieces of Penick's Little Red Book. Just a good little read from a fine old golfer.

Got Off Early !!! Went to the practice area at my home course. Spent a lot of time pitching to flags and putting. Practicing Aimpoint kinda on my own. Did hit the range and went through my bag. Here are some pics of my practice area.

Solid 80s, very cool. it will come.

why are you talking about breaking 80 on the "breaking 90 thread"? as my nephew used to say, " That not nice."

@Mico Well because ive broken 90 and I havent broken 80. Its the goal of everyone in the Breaking 90 thread , to break 80. When I finally break 80 I will be worthy of posting in the breaking 80 thread. I tell ya though, these peeps in the  90's thread are great. I sure hope alot of them if not all come with me. I will always talk with these guys/gals. We have grown together as golfers. Its the best. Hit Em Good Bud !!

Makes sense. Sounds like when you find a foursome or play with the same early morning crowd at your home course.  Great camaraderie! Every one  knows each other and his own brand of golf craziness. Stick to the short grass.

12/15 - 15 minutes mirror work. Focused on centered hip turn then getting the hips going forward to start the downswing. Mostly slow swings.

Wife and son left for Ohio. Set the net up in the backyard and hit some balls using my handy dandy mirror for the first time.

    • 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.  
    • Day 507 - 2026-02-20 Got some backswing work in on GEARS Hybrid.
    • 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. 
    • 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.
