Practiced swings out back tonight waiting on the rocket launch. The launch was scrubbed, but I got some practice in. Keeping he left arm straight(er) seems to help with rotating my hip back for some reason. 

Spoiler

I had a college professor who went up in the shuttle. I scheduled a vendor visit to coincide with the launch. I even stayed in Cocoa Beach. The launch was scrubbed. :cry: I couldn't even send him a message because they flew the crew back to Houston. His launch held the record for the most scrubs too with 7!

1/4: Putting practice in the hallway, 4-6 foot putts. Just focused on setting up properly and hitting my line. Welcome to the club! Lots of stuff you can do without a club. Two of my favorites.

12/09 - chipping with putting method on carpet at work... aiming a Gatorade cap (I'd estimate it to be a 10-11 on stimp meter)

Had probably the best range session I've had in the past few years.  Working on turning my left shoulder fully and speeding up the backswing.  Really, really solid contact and a great sound coming off

had a longer session this morning working in my basement, mirror for backswing and wall drill for hip turn, wasn't hitting the ball real crisp when I hit some into the net, took a little break and came back and just tried to feel everything loosen up and starting hitting ball much more solid.  I tend to tighten up when I'm thinking about mechanics.

Played 9 today.  Worked on implementing the range work into the game...felt and played pretty good but still had a few loose shots.  Temp was mid-low 50's and no warmup so I'm not too concerned.

Want to play more 9-hole rounds like this where i work on taking things from the range to the course.

Fairways and Greens.

1/20: Getting the house ready for a birthday party, not much time to practice. Putted for 10 minutes in the hallway, and did about two minutes of the wall drill.

1/21: First practice with Torc swing trainer (up near handle). Reviewed videos on usage. 15 minutes on feel of downswing from correct A4, flat left wrist to A6, stopping briefly and around through impact. Trainer does let you feel the club a bit more, likely just because it's different and therefore new. Focused on good swing plane after shallowing, all the way from top through impact. The new (and less steep) swing plane is feeling more natural, and paid dividends during my recent round- more solid contact so I advanced ball more consistently.

Played 18. First nine, swing felt better. However, think I am still casting.

After the round, went to chipping area and did 20 minutes of practice with best score chipping game. Each chip counts for as many putts as it would take to finish the hole--if it goes in, 0. If it is one-putt, 1. 

I get five shots plus an extra ball. 

Try to get the lowest score possible. Today it was six--four one points + a two putt. 

Worked on keepinig weight on front foot, clipping ball with nice high flight.

30 min workout on hip turn, 3/4 backswing, and keeping head back starting downswing. It's feeling better. Trying to feel a little looser as I'm working on these, I noticed I was really tightening up.

1/2 hour lesson in morning, then afterward spent hour trying to put into practice what pro wanted me to work on, which was to try and keep arms closer to body on downswing as was stretching and had arms straight out. Some fair shots, probably around 7/10 which is improvement no end. Need to understand why on earth I cannot hit a ball when pro is teaching, trying so hard to not cock up that I am cocking up. Definitely need to concentrate more on shot and not who is around.

1/21 - light swings in the backyard. Back was a little tight, so I don't want to push it.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By mdl · Posted

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
