2/19 - 9 year old's birthday party; just did some slow swings in front yard with focus on taking hands deeper while maintaining steady head.

2/19: Busy day and concert this evening. 10 quick minutes of slow swings and full shots with my 56W. Focus on slow swings was balance, focus during full shot was on hitting the shot shape I wanted.

2/20 - 30 mins of pitching down office hallway with whiffle balls; focus was on square face at impact to produce straight trajectory (without hitting hallway walls).

I plan to play 9 holes with Noah (my 9yo) on Wednesday to test out the shoulder. I was practicing some 30-50yd pitches last week and my shoulder didn't like it very much, but that was hitting balls in succession. I'm hoping that the time between 1/2-full swings (hitting a couple then chipping/putting over a 5-10 mins window) will be more agreeable.

Worked on priority piece by doing slow motion work on takeaway, ensuring that weight is centred and that my left arm doesn't fan.

Currently focusing on: Key 4 - shorter backswing.

15min with mirror. Transition from top to A6, right elbow, left wrist, and weight shift. Club feeling good that it's coming down shallower.  Range this week as it gets warm

2/21: About an hour in the front yard today with my sand wedge. Tried some slow swings for a bit, but struggled to get comfortable. My brain wanted to check (and work on) too many things. Head movement felt like it was more than usual so I slowed-down and re-focused on that.

It felt like my head was moving a foot forward (down the target line) on the downswing and like my whole body was getting way out in front of the ball. Going in slow motion it seemed obvious that in order to have any chance of starting the ball where I was aiming, I had to pull my arms down, in, and across my body as I turned my shoulders...hello Big Fade and Bad Slice, nice to see you gents again.

Weight seemed off and I noticed it felt like I wasn't/couldn't extend my left leg and clear my hips, and that extension with the club was happening way to late (like 3-o'clock or so), yada, yada. Definitely need to work on getting video soon since who knows what I was really doing and why(?) (although, I'm sure I can just review old footage since my swing never changes much ;-)).

Either way, not to worried about it. I could still hit a draw and wasn't "stuck" in fade-mode or anything. If it's real, it's (likely) just what I've always done. I'm used to fading the ball and account for it in my shot zones, now. Even when playing with plastic golf balls and 5mph wind gusts. :-P

2/23 - played 9 with my 9yo son

44 (+9):  1 Par, 7 bogey, 1 double.  First two holes sucked but what do I expect for the first time out in 3 months only 3 weeks out from shoulder surgery. 

A couple of bombed (for me) drives, 1st drive was lost ball. Chipping was mediocre and putting was so-so with no 3putts; only 1 GIR, but 6 other nGIR's. 

Not my best round, but again, I'm happy to knock the cobwebs off.

    • Day 82: 3/18/24 Tried a Stack session but could not certify my warmup. Finished with indoor chips and putting. 
    • Day 96 (18 Mar 24) - Continued work with the Divot Board with the GW and hard foam balls.  Focused on small target/small miss…setup to hit target about 30yds out - success if it hit within 6’ circle of target, fail if outside.  Had decent success averaging about 3 out of 4 (hitting in groups of four).  
    • Wordle 1,003 3/6 🟩🟩🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩   felt a little like Wyndham when the first three green and I began the fist pump…
    • I'm relieved someone finally defined hiking. I was giddy when I saw these new TPI videos a day or so after they dropped. Very easy to understand the problem and solution the way they have presented it. Been working on fixing this for about a year and a half now. It's nice to be able to call it something so communication becomes easy.  I was working on more lateral and up too, but just having someone define it clearly in video form was so helpful for me to continue confidently with what I thought was wrong and how I had to fix it.  My conceptual error here was just trying to rotate like a tour pro but without including the necessary forward pressure/weight shift associated with enough lateral and upward motion of the pelvis.  This video is great too, as is Greg Rose.
    • Day 2.    couple mins of rolling putts end over end.    10 mins of Slow, mirror work, working on starting the downswing and impact wrist positions. Hit a couple balls into the net after.    Then finished with a couple chips to see if I could repeat what I worked on yesterday.
