1/9: integrated backswing and left wrist focus in with slow downswing. Ensured left wrist feeling flat and getting decent wrist hinge. Checked transition in mirror  to ensure club falling behind me at start of downswing.  15 min

Not very motivated, but I got my reps in the backyard. Working on the left hip with feet pointed out.

Traveling with no golf clubs or swing trainer in Miami

5 min practice swings first with arms outstretched and then arms folded across chest 

worked on takeaway, at the top of backswing, a bump to left and then swing thru.

makes me think about parts of swing:

• how to push with legs

• how to turn

• how finish with belly button toward target (have plenty of belly, just can't seem to turn completely toward target)

Practicing all week this way will be hard

Swings in the backyard brushing the hitting mat. I had the light on behind me so I could see my shadow. Feels like I am leaning (not falling) back at contact.

I keep getting this image of men swinging in front of a mirror, brushing up against a chair or wall, for 5 minutes, at home, or in the office, or out on the construction site. The thought that keeps popping into my head is the commercial on TV  "Do these pants make me look fat?" Then again, I see myself popping out to the back yard at odd times throughout the day (and night) swinging and hitting golf balls into a net, sometimes flipping the "bird" at the ball laying innate on the ground.  I guess that's not so different, other than I do not keep a chronological account of the activity.

1/10:I bought a new sand wedge with a giftcard from Christmas and it came in the mail today. Spent about 45 minutes or so alternating back and forth between practicing pitching and chipping, and full swings just to get a feel for the club.

1/11: 45 minutes at range. Exclusively worked flat left wrist. Practice swing, slowish motion swing with ball, then full swing with ball. Each batch of 3 swings a separate video. Reviewing now and submitting to instructor. Bit disappointing as the work here isn't fully being implemented "live." I am still tensing up over the ball, and need to break through so that it's all unconscious regarding the flat wrist. I need more range time, I think, but I'll just try to get out there every possible day this winter.

tried to really slow down today and focus while I was practicing.  I'm a broken record on the drills, setup tweaks, wall drill for hip turn, and feel a 1/2 swing to stop the arms from running on in backswing.  sent a fresh evolvr video in afterwards to make sure I'm on the right track.

    • 26 Nov 24 -  It was not a record breaking round by any means, but rather a simple walking of the back nine today playing TBWB (two ball-worse ball) where the challenge is to play the worse of the two shots played - could be an errant drive from the woods, a tree knocked ball that is 100 yds farther back down the fairway, a nGIR ball as opposed to a GIR….the goal today was to stay no worse than bogie thru nine.  Managed to achieve that goal - bogied 7 holes with one dbl and one par to counter the dbl.  It’s about staying focused and not letting a bad shot or lie derail, but rather be an opportunity. 
    • Day 208 (26 Nov 24)- Opted to walk 9 today (was the back nine as they had a huge group going off the front) but instead of it being persimmons and blades, I had the regular gamers but made it a TBWB (two ball-worst ball) round.  This really challenges on several fronts - ball striking to be as consistent as possible, course management from non-optimal lies and keeping your head in it as it can be depressing to nail a shot on line-on target and the second rattles the trees right and it’s over 50 yards back and that’s the one you have to play.  The goal was to be no worse than bogie overall (+9).  Finished the round exactly on the number with some solid recoveries, no penalty strokes and only one 3-putt.
