2/03 - minipitches with wiffle balls in house going from rug to rug. Focus was on technique itself and producing a straight ball flight

2/24: My dad's in town for the weekend. Played 18 today and got my butt whooped. Shot 96 (48/48). It was sad, I was a yard off the green in regulation on the first two holes but doubled them both. Put

Played 18 holes at 18 over for a 90

hit warm bucket of balls and two buckets afterward.

working on maintaining lag and beginning to feel it. Easier with driver than 7 iron still. Slowing swing down seems to help as I get quick

Got a nice weather day here, sunny and 50, so got a chance to play 9 with my second oldest daughter. Had a great time and fun to be out playing again. Focused on my couple of priorities I'm working on with evolvr and actually scored pretty well. Looking forward to keep grinding during practice each day and playing more this year.

2/5: Left wrist only today, avoiding cupping at the top, and on the downswing to impact. Smooth swings after doing a check swing at A6 in the foyer, hitting squishy golf balls at the mirror. Hit quite a few shanks, but the wrist condition felt good. I mainly want to focus on form while there's a ball in the path of the club, not worrying about how good contact is.

2/5: Started off with a few minutes of slow backswings to A3, then to A4, checking my right elbow at each point and stopping to feel correct position, then back down to A6 and A8. Noticed early on that I (still) have a bad balance problem and typically start off-balance, so I stopped with the new piece and an did about 10 or 15 minutes of slow back and downswings with alignment rods down, focusing only on good balance at the start and a steady head. Stayed aware of arm position and hip turn during this time, but tried not to focus on them, more just checking every now and then for good positions.

2/06 - ditto

Also started physical therapy stuff the afternoon after my operation and went to my 1st official therapy visit this morning. I have full passive motion (with "some discomfort") and I've not had that in 13 years...so that's exciting. Along way to go as far as being fully functional with correct scapulohumeral mechanics, but improvement nonetheless.

More swings out back. Weaker grip. I started with the club about waist high, rotate the left hip back and let the club come on through. After a dozen or so of that, I would do more of a full swing, but slower. Slowly sped it up.

2/6/17 - I took some swings in my garage this afternoon to post to my swing thread and then this evening, I spent about 10 minutes taking pitch and chip swings in my living room trying to consistently just brush my club against the area rug to groove that movement.

2/6: Set up some alignment rods (one parallel to feet/target line, and one in ground on that line, about 4 feet back) and alternating reps on slow backswings to A3, and to A3 then to A4, focus was on better arm path while keeping steady head and balance. Spent 10-15 minutes doing this without hitting a single shot, trying to "groove in" the feel. Then 15 or 20 shots for fun.

2/6: 10 minutes with right elbow on backswing. Staying in front of me, checking in mirror at A4. Then slow downswings to a soft golf ball hitting inside, feeling right elbow positioning on the way down.

      However, have you ever considered using small summer houses for such setups? They offer a great solution for creating dedicated practice areas, especially for an affluent audience looking to enhance their outdoor living space.

      I've played Bali Hai, Bear's Best and Painted Desert. I enjoyed Bali Hai the most--course was in great shape, friendly staff and got paired in a great group. Bear's Best greens were very fast, didn't hold the ball well (I normally have enough spin to stop the ball after 1-2 hops).  The sand was different on many holes. Some were even dark sand (recreation of holes from Hawaii). Unfortunately I was single and paired with a local "member" who only played the front 9.  We were stuck behind a slow 4-some who wouldn't let me through even when the local left. Painted Desert was decent, just a bit far from the Strip where we were staying.

      Honestly, unless there's something about that rough there that makes it abnormally penal or a lost ball likely, this might be the play. I don't know how the mystrategy cone works, but per LSW, you don't use every shot for your shot zones. In that scatter plot, you have no balls in the bunker, and 1 in the penalty area. The median outcome seems to be a 50 yard pitch. Even if you aren't great from 50 yards, you're better off there than in a fairway bunker or the penalty area on the right of the fairway. It could also be a strategy you keep in your back pocket if you need to make up ground. Maybe this is a higher average score with driver, but better chance at a birdie. Maybe you are hitting your driver well and feel comfortable with letting one rip.  I get not wanting to wait and not wanting to endanger people on the tee, but in a tournament, I think I value playing for score more than waiting. I don't value that over hurting people, but you can always yell fore 😆 Only thing I would say is I'm not sure whether that cone is the best representation of the strategy (see my comment above about LSW's shot zones). To me, it looks like a 4 iron where you're aiming closer to the bunker might be the play. You have a lot of shots out to the right and only a few to the left. Obviously, I don't know where you are aiming (and this is a limitation of MyStrategy), but it seems like most of your 4 iron shots are right. You have 2 in the bunker but aiming a bit closer to the bunker won't bring more of your shots into the bunker. It does bring a few away from the penalty area on the right.  This could also depend on how severe the penalties are for missing the green. Do you need to be closer to avoid issues around the green?  It's not a bad strategy to hit 6 iron off the tee, be in the fairway, and have 150ish in. I'm probably overthinking this.
