3/2: An hour at the range today. Picker was down so I couldn't hit balls. Nice short-game area, though, so I alternated between a few different holes and practiced pitching with my 56o and chipping with my pitching wedge and 9-iron.

3/20: Played 36 holes today. Shot 89 and a 10 over, 83!!! A new best.  Played a push-draw all day (that mostly just pushed or straight-faded). I also recorded the last few holes for a vlog post, w

3/14: Storm is through northern VA and my shoveling is done. We got off easy here, and my guess is that it was just a few inches, as we turned to freezing rain early on. Not sure I've got the strength

13/3/17 - Two things today. Mirror work on takeaway led to me immediately realising that every issue from yesterday's range session was as a result of my weight getting too far toward my toes again at

3/2: Difficult day health-wise but reviewed last few video lessons. Did 5 min of centered hip turn in mirror, with hip action for downswing through to tall finish

3/03 - priority piece work: minimizing lateral weight shift in backswing. Wall drill (5 sets of 20); felt awkward first set, I was too far away from the wall. After that, it became more comfortable. I can definitely tell the difference already. I'll try to get in another 100 reps by the end of the day.

It all depends on what you want from the thread. If it's strictly for your benefit to keep yourself motivated and maybe check out how others practice, use the thread how it works for you. 

If you are motivated o earn the badge for the challenge, then there are rules in the first page. Being golf rules people, those are clear and the way you're doing it won't technically earn the badge. But we won't run you out or anything.  You just won't get the badge. 

As a reference I've been a regular here for a bunch of months and have earned a badge half the time for one reason or another. I like to try earning the badge myself but not the end of the world if I goof up :)

4/3/17 - Made it to the range but annoyingly forgot the camera battery - did some slow motion work on the backswing pieces mixed in with more full swing stuff to get a feel for where my misses are. Playing on Sunday so need to get an idea of what my game is actually doing!

Edited by b101

Currently focusing on: Key 4 - shorter backswing.

What's in the bag: Callaway X2 Hot Driver, Titleist 915F 3 wood, X2 Hot 3 Hybrid, 3, 5-AW Apex Pro irons, 54*, 58* Cleveland RTX, Odyssey Versa 1 Putter

Made a bunch of practice swings "bumping the mat" while waiting on hold for the stupid AT&T mobile support person to fix my voicemail after it was rendered useless yesterday when I switched to their unlimited data plan that was less than the 15GB plan that I was on but this lady re-provisioned my voicemail and deleted the hopefully unimportant voicemail from someone at our Greensboro facility when all she really needed to do was reset my access code.

15 min. That's all I think took to get through my routine-Sklz, 7-iron, driver and felt great. Lag and release through the hitting zone almost every time. Felt coil and uncoil.

Hopefully, tomorrow is the same.

unfortunately, traveling Sunday thru Friday so it's back to hotel room exercises ;(

Gonna see if I can narrow the hitting zone with a tee or chalk line

5 minutes working on my takeaway and address position. I'll get out to the range tomorrow to see how the feels translate to hitting a ball. I'm pumped.
