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

Hotel room practice. Swinging motions using a hanger. That's about all I can do for the next 5 nights.

Spent about 20 minutes practicing turning and swinging without bobbing my shoulders up and down. Feeling more natural

2/13: Rehearsing backswings again, but I wasn't thinking about my elbow for once. This time, my focus was first to achieve a proper wrist hinge, but I was satisfied with that after a few minutes. A bigger issue for me is pulling my lead shoulder too close to my chin, which obstructs my range of motion through the downswing and followthrough. I know what the right position feels like, but I haven't found any particular drills to hammer that point through.

Love this Roamin

Thank you. ;-)

2/13: 10 minutes with my 9 iron, slow motion 3/4 swings for a bit. I can slice 3/4 shots way, way too easily. It's a great shot to have in the bag (with as many trees as I seem to end up behind), but I only want it when I want it. If that made sense. :hmm: Anyway, I practiced trying to feel/do the same things I do in my normal swing drills for a while and then gradually sped up and started hitting shots between reps.

2/15: Shallowing the club on the downswing to get ready for next video assignment at the range from instructor.  Did not think about the left wrist or right elbow here, so maybe regressed a tad? But was strictly focused on downswing steepness and having the club fall behind me.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT · Posted

      Day 33 (20 Feb 26) - played the Friday men’s group shootout.  Solid day of working from some tough shot results - made for a good number of up and downs for par (8 of the 9 pars were such). Cart mate and I discussed the visual aspect of the game - and how much it plays into the individual’s mindset during the round.  Love when the discussion is focused on learning and taking positives away and not just how bad the miss may be.

      My Swing (iacas)

      By iacas · Posted

      Still kinda working on the backswing stuff. I can turn < 45°, but I tend to tilt toward the target a little. I can tilt away from the target, but I tend to turn a bit more. Case in point. I can do it, though: This I can do all day (it's more lateral than I want, but it's very linear): Here's what 38° of turn looks like. Almost freaking nothing.

      Good progress. I am finally feeling like I am settling my weight into my right foot earlier in the backswing. Right hip sinks back, right leg feels staying flexed. Feeling very stable and firm in the right leg. I feel like I could do a good squat with that right leg. Very balanced.

      oops, forgot Pebble Beach and Spyglass.  And two more of the original Open rota, Prestwick and Musselburgh (with hickory shafted rentals).  And Muirfield.  And maybe a few more, I'll check my list when I get home.
