Yah, but I started this thread below in May 2016! I was determined to be finished with this aspect of my swing within a year. Tick tock!

Guess the time doesn't matter, but man, I feel close! It actually feels very comfortable at home without a ball. A bit less comfortable with a ball at home, but I can do it reliably. But still uncomfortable at the range at anything other than slow speed. Oddly, I feel disoriented at the range when I try to do 50% swings or so. I'm counting on more time, and daily reps just bleeding through to the range and eventually the course (when I can play more!).

3/30: A little time on the range today with the camera, not as successful starting the ball to the right, as I've been at home. Was trying to slow down but video confirmed I wasn't, really. It got better after a bit, but still felt off.

20 min

sklz swing trainer, 7 iron, driver

stop at top, pump, step thru and full swings + 3 sets alt 7 iron and driver

felt good, starting to try to control swings inside and outside, see if it lasts

did NOT make March challenge, got drunk in Mexican airport instead of practicing one day (definitely worth it ;)

end of first quarter, hitting more fairways and GIRs, hoping that this holds up in Q2

3/31: 10 minutes with 6 iron and plastic balls out front. Small swings, starting it right of my alignment stick. Good to use a 6-iron in the front yard for this, forced me to keep my swings small to keep the balls in my yard. :-)

March Challenge Complete!

3/31:  20 mins. putting drills; made practice strokes at super-slow speed, inspired by @mvmac's "Change the dang picture!" thread.  Really seemed to click, giving me consistency in my fully-back and finish positions (and keeping my putts much more on line).  Think I'm gonna continue this one.  On to April!

    • A bit of background. The Southern California Golf Association (SCGA) runs an annual event known as "Team Play." It is a wildly popular match play competition where Men's Clubs across the region put together teams of 20+ golfers together to compete against other clubs in a 16 vs. 16 match. In any given year, approximately 80-100 clubs will participate. Each club is grouped into "pods" of 4, and will play 6 total matches - one home and one away match against the other 3 clubs. The winning club from each pod advances to the Team Play Playoffs - a single elimination format - until a winner is crowned.  Antelope Valley Country Club just advanced to the championship match for the 3rd consecutive year. They won the championship in both 2022 and 2023.  Based on my review of the match history from the past 3 years (linked below), they have won 21 consecutive team matches. Keep in mind, these are handicapped matches, so this is not just a case where a group of sticks bands together to dominate the poor amateurs other SoCal clubs. Even if these guys are grinders who never quit, play their best under pressure and routinely putt the lights out, the law of averages still say that a streak of that nature is mathematically impossible.  Is there any plausible explanation beyond institutionalized sandbagging throughout the club?

    • Day 3- Practiced putting for 20 minutes. 
    • Interesting that Scottie is #10 on the all time money list and he's been on the PGAT for 4 years. Of course, purses are bigger now, but  neat to look at non-the-less.  The list of top 18 money winners in PGA Tour history has plenty of surprises This list is updated through the 2024 RBC Heritage. To add, Scottie won 4.5 million at the Players, Jack played 44 seasons and won a little of 5 million on course. 
    • 43 (6 over) Couple bogies, couple Pars, a birdie and no doubles. Not bad for first 9 of the year. 
    • Most the stuff I found on Instagram and just copy and mix it up. a few of my favorites: Clean>Squat>Press> March Around the body >catch >Squat> press I also hold a the kettle bell upside down with both hands on the handle. Squat when I stand back up I lift the kettlebell up over and behind my head and hold then repeat
