12/07 - almost didn't get it in today. With the snow, forgot about it. I just did some pitch swings in garage...honestly just to keep the streak alive. ;-)

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

Spent about 15 min working on mirror drills on my backswing. Also 50 reps of wall drill still working on the feeling of correct pivot.  Will hit some half swings later today in my basement.

After playing 18 holes, hit bucket of balls.

PW: inside out swing was good. Contact solid and ball flight straight. On a few occasion, good distance straight into wind. No draw. 

7 iron was more hit and miss. Ball flight sometimes slicing and some very fat shots. Definitely not as consistent as PW.

driver was very solid and sometimes long although hard to tell how long. No draw

All in all, good inside to out session. Practice swings seem to be helping

Saturday 7th January. 

9 holes with son, on a terribly wet course in Rochdale, then half hour with pro trying to understand why I often "top" golf balls when not on mats. 

 

Sunday 8th Jan. 1/2 hour on very muddy field with #9 iron trying to get decent height and flight instead of hitting well above equator and drilling ball under earth!!!! Mild success?

More chipping, and working on grip this weekend. Spent a little while working on getting a grip on the club. finding the right position for my hands that was comfortable and allows me to keep both of my hands as a unit throughout my entire swing. Really worked on having a feeling of the hands working together  this weekend. a lot of takeaways and short swings to feel how each of the hands is working and trying to get them on the same page. chipping was the best way to start this practice. will go back to a little putting later today and more grip feeling as well. 

I can tell already that i am feeling more and more patient with every practice session. this is going to be a good year!

Monday 9th Jan - Back to the range again at lunch, still trying to get a proper contact with ball and irons but not consistent enough to be able to confidently declare I am good enough to play a round of golf without either a) digging up enough green stuff to relay a small garden or b) hit the ball above the equator so much that it tries to drill its way through the earth to Australia!!!!! Need to get this sorted!

 

Still awaiting delivery of Zepp analyser to try and con myself into thinking I know how to swing a golf bat.

Great image. I would have to use fake golf balls to avoid breaking a window!

15 mins of mirror work focusing on setup and hip turn.  I'll get to hit some balls into a net this evening focusing on my arms stopping on the backswing when my pivot stops or 1/2 swing feels.

Aah! I braved the cold yesterday but forgot to post! Please forgive the double-post today...

1/8: Cold and windy, but I bundled up and broke out the hand warmers. About 20-30 minutes of pitching practice in the front yard. Practiced for 10 minutes with my 58W and the rest with my pitching wedge. I like popping them up in the air with my lob wedge, but I think with a little more practice I'm going to be more accurate in the long run with the pitching wedge.

1/9: Still cold and I haven't thawed out from yesterday yet, so just 10 minutes of mirror work after work today. Focus on hip turn w/ no sway going back.

      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?
