2/17: Busy fixing the truck this evening. Five minutes of wall drill and a few pitch shots, but not much else.

On my way home!Β 

5 min practice swings with no club or ball at Bogota's El Dorado Airport

started with hands on wall to feel resistance of downward transition from lower body turn on left side

next did V structure swings, pushing down to work muscles thru arms to back

finally arms across the chest and slow swings to feel turn

2/18 - grip; small pitch swings with a few long full swings. Steady head, inline impact, and balanced forward weight shift

Played in a competition - 33 points isn't too shabby for where I feel my game is at the moment.

Now doing the evening mirror work trying to cement the backswing feel.

Currently focusing on: Key 4 - shorter backswing.

2/18: Good 20 minutes working on downswing club path with video. Flat left wrist, right elbow, shallowing and decent A6 club position. Was tending to tip club on downswing again so regained a bit of the feel again- needs to feel more outwards with hands and also keeps me from standing up.Β

2/18 - Shoulder turn work and putting in the basement. There is a 2 foot thick glacier in my backyard where I usually set up my net. It is solid ice!Β :-P

30 min

first swing practice with club (no balls) since teaching session.

key element is transition and promoting proper start to down swing.

sklz swing trainer help warm up and promote swing thru.

7 iron swings with first pump drill with a much exaggerated inside track using hockey style swings

Did the same with driver

absolutely love how club whips thru on this swing. Very excited to try on range and course tomorrow!

2/18: Played 18 today andΒ shot an 11 over,Β 84! :banana:

Β A full 9 strokes better than my scoring average over the lastΒ 8 rounds, and 3 strokes better than my record on this course. 1 birdie, 8 pars, 6 bogeys, 3 doubles.

I had 17 (n)GIRs! (Well, 4 were greenside bunkers but I managed to get out and reasonably close every time.)Β The only approach that wasn't in regulation was after I sliced a drive into a pond. The pond takes up a 1/4 to a 1/2 of my shot zone with the driver, no matter where I aim it. However, I had been hitting them straight all day, so I went for it. I recovered with a 160 yard 5 iron to 15 feet. Phew. I then proceeded to 3-putt for a double. Doh! Head-smack!Β I'll be hitting a 3-iron off that tee from now on.

Like anyone, I could go on and on about my best round ever. Truly nice feeling to have everything --Β drives, irons, pitching, putting, andΒ strategyΒ (thank you, LSW) -- come together on the same day.

19/2 - Last day of range work, trying to get hands more passive in transition. Some definite success, but more work needed on shallowing the club in the downswing. Back to work tomorrow, so will have to really get back to the 5 minutes in the morning/evening!

2/19 - An hour at the range. Focused on float load feel, Key 3 and completing the shoulder turn. Worked in 10 minutes segments with the PW and 7iron broken up with pitching and flighted wedge work. Lousy mats. The stall I was in was too small for the driver or woods.

Hit a bucket of balls before going out to play 18 (where I shot a 99, ugh)

New swing feltΒ very good on range, especially with shorter clubs.

felt turn and pow using long muscles. The longer the club, the more difficult finding the swing
