2/3: 20 minutes hitting foam balls in my yard, focusing on finishing the backswing with my trailing elbow in the position I rehearsed yesterday. It feels like my elbow it pointing straight into the air at the top, which indicates how far behind my body I've been getting stuck with how I had been playing lately.

Since my arm is in a sling for 6 more weeks--I'm practicing mental focus in my preshot. Today I set up for a 40 yard pitch with 20 feet of roll. Went thru my routine, imagined the shot, stepped up and made the swing--with only my right arm. Designed to keep the routine fresh.

It's an unwritten rule, but I let you take one day off now for special circumstances.

Awesome!  Thanks man.  

2/3/2017 - I spent 45 minutes on the range working on letting the loft of the club do the work.  I focused on taking a divot after contact with the ball during that time.  

I then went and played 18 holes.  I was nGIR on 17 of 18 holes.  The only one I wasn't was a hole where I pulled a tee shot into a hazard and had to take a penalty.  It didn't equate to good scoring since I found myself in a lot of bunkers today, but... that just means I have something different to work on next week.

minipitches with wiffle balls in house going from rug to rug.

Genius! :beer:

2/3: Played 18 today, shot 89 (45/44) with 6 pars. Thought about my hip turn and the new arm piece a little here and there, but really tried to focus on making sure I was setting up and aiming properly, and then just playing golf. The 3/4 "flighted" swing is working great and getting me on greens, but I still have a lot of distance work to do to get closer to the hole. I hit 7 GIRs, but 4 of my 6 pars came from scrambles and a sand save. Much more confident with pitching, the practice has certainly helped there as I tend to get excited when it's time to pull out my sand wedge. :ninja:

I ended up joining 3 college students around the 5th hole, only one of whom really knew what he was doing. They were nice guys and I had fun playing with them, but they were bad and slow. Made me really appreciate my own swing.

2/4 - 10 minutes in the backyard working on my new Evolvr lesson suggestions. I used my shadow instead of a mirror. If it gets higher than 30F, I may set up the net later. Also did some putting in the basement.

2/04 - pitching outside...short distance. After re-watching the quickie pitch video, I focussed on early wrist hinge and downward pull.

Hit a balls at the range and spent time putting. I ran into the @ClayB on the range. Nice guy.

Since I've been doing the work to fix Key 1, my iron shots are mostly dead on line with my target with a higher trajectory. Loving it. That's the good news. The bad is that my driver is producing a lot push fades.

sklz swing trainer, 7 iron, driver.

feet together swings, Y, L and full swing w/pump drill and w/o

maintain lag and deliver club to same spot were ideas. Still feels like heavy banging on floor with swing thru

Concept of weight on right heel and push off crept into session

tomorrow i get to try routine at range hitting golf balls and on course with el Alemán!

2/4: Played two rounds today, shot 91 and 95. Lots of bogeys (23), five pars, way to many doubles (7) and a triple. Putting felt off but ended up being a little better than average as far as counts go, just seemed like every single par putt missed by an inch and stopped 3 inches passed the hole. I appreciate tap-in bogeys, but it was nerve-racking. :cry:

2/4: Early extension drill, rehearsing swings indoors while keeping my butt in contact with a dining room chair. Still keeping a bit of thought on my left elbow position during these rehearsals, even though it isn't the focus of this drill.

2/4/2017 - I spent my morning practice session working on ball position in my stance.  I've had a tough time recently finding the 'right' position for me.  I thought I had it figured out on the range, but... once I got on the course, I had a heck of a time making solid enough contact to get the ball around the course.

I also spent a good 15 minutes on left-to-right breaking putts from 6 feet.  I pull those often and wanted to gain some confidence with them.

    • 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.
