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

Started with half swings and progressed to full swings. Noted left arm extension but still focused on Key 1

Walked 10 holes after work, shot 9 over. Drives were crap, but I've been messing with them on the range, so that wasn't a surprise. Used the 3/4 flighted shot on several approaches, really like it. Focused on enjoying the course and making a good hip turn. Not much else. ;-)

Played 18 today.  It wasn't perfect but I was very happy with the progress I've made.  Was a bit sloppy at the beginning and end but had a stretch of 11 very good holes.

Fairways and Greens.

Went to trafford centre last night so whacked 150 balls on the driving range there, not bad if I do say so myself.

Today went to driving range near place I am working and hit 50'odd but was fffffffreezing so that's the excuse I'm gonna trot out for topping balls all over the show.....

1/26: 20 minutes reviewing latest Evolvr lesson. Keep going with backswing and left wrist, but improvement. Add thoughts about right elbow not flying as much. Keep elbows closer- use ball technique. 5 minutes slow deliberate backswings with flat left wrist and right elbow staying close. Then few minutes athletically at slightly faster speed.

Working on A2 to A3 with a mirror. Trying to keep my legs a bit straighter and the body bent better at the hips while reducing the pressure around the lumbar through "relaxation" drills while in position. Still figuring out the proper amount of "C" versus "S". There's a "straightness" that seems pretty optimal, but I'm not sure this is the least restrictive position or not?

30 min 

sklz swing trainer. Get timing, feel lag and avoid casting. My spine and back cracks as I warm up, generally as I lag the club with hands being drawn thru hitting zone

7 iron. Feet together, brush strokes around the body, Y and L swings with wrists loose and lagging club from inside, 

pump drill on full swing

added full swings with no pump to see how I am doing on casting. Mixed results

same drill with driver, brush, Y and L swings. Full swings with pump  drill and then without. Feel lag more with driver than 7 iron

booked next class with pro for Feb 11. Hopefully, i will have made progress. Will do a video check this week at the range

1/26: I realized that as much as I've committed to slow-mo swings, repeating drills over and over, and practicing properly, that I generally don't make it through more than 4 or 5 reps before I have to hit a ball.

Tonight I worked on slow backswings, pausing at the top to feel good turn and flat left wrist, coming down to A6 and pausing to check hands and weight, then a nice easy follow through pointing belt buckle out and up towards target and holding the finish for a second. Forced myself to do 30 reps without hitting a shot. Then I hit about 20 shots just to get it out of my system, and finished up with another 20 reps before two final full shots for fun (they were perfect, btw).

A little while later I practiced pitching for a bit. Hit about 20 shots or so. I'm decent at it, but I don't get anywhere near the extremely shallow path demonstrated in the quickie pitching video post. Have re-watched that video a few times lately and the "paintbrush" motion mentioned in it seemed to click this last time. I've been practicing off my stance mat (thin rug over hard dirt). I barely feel them and the shots just pop up in the air every time. Very promising.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By WillieT ·

      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.
