3/6 - Mirror work. Focusing on turning hips more from A4 - 6 per my Evolvr lesson and less sliding forward.

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

Found an indoor range in São Paulo, the Clubhouse, woot woot

Are you in Chile or Brazil? Just curious. Either way, very cool and hope it's a nice summer down there!

As for me- 15 minutes today. Lots of backswing work (left wrist, right elbow), plus downswing steepness awareness and slow motion A4-A7, as I drive the swing with hips. Range tomorrow, hopefully.

3/6: Walked 9 this evening by myself, shot 5 over with 5 pars. Trouble with long irons and chipping, but drives and approaches were great. 8, 9, and PW were dialed-in today, with 4 approaches inside 15 feet.

Driver was smooth, powerful, and straight. I wish I could keep the same tempo when I'm with my regular 4-some, but noooo, "me man, must swing hard!".

Worked on putting and hip turn.

Trying to keep putter head lower after impact and not move my head back.

Worked on my putting stroke today. Trying to follow the advice to decelerate the putter head for better distance control. I can already tell this is going to be tough. Need some more work on it.

3/7: Couple hours at the range, video submission for instructor. Made some small progress with less steep swing in slow motion - able to dribble a ball of the tee without getting too steep. On video! Woohoo- I think that's a first.

7/3 - Back to the range and more position work. In getting 'round ready', my tendency has been to start taking the club away on the inside, so I really worked on that. Really good improvements on shallowing the club in transition though, so happy with that.

Currently focusing on: Key 4 - shorter backswing.

Hey Randy...reminds me of the video of Ben Hogan doing ultra slow motion (in regular time) and actually hitting the ball. I am sure you have seen it. Very grainy but kind of neat. He didn't "dribble" though.

heh, the good ole' wall-drill. My work recently took a survey and one of the questions asked if employees needed "stretching breaks"...I voted yes. ;-)

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By WillieT ·

      26 Nov 24 -  It was not a record breaking round by any means, but rather a simple walking of the back nine today playing TBWB (two ball-worse ball) where the challenge is to play the worse of the two shots played - could be an errant drive from the woods, a tree knocked ball that is 100 yds farther back down the fairway, a nGIR ball as opposed to a GIR….the goal today was to stay no worse than bogie thru nine.  Managed to achieve that goal - bogied 7 holes with one dbl and one par to counter the dbl.  It’s about staying focused and not letting a bad shot or lie derail, but rather be an opportunity.

      By WillieT ·

      Day 208 (26 Nov 24)- Opted to walk 9 today (was the back nine as they had a huge group going off the front) but instead of it being persimmons and blades, I had the regular gamers but made it a TBWB (two ball-worst ball) round.  This really challenges on several fronts - ball striking to be as consistent as possible, course management from non-optimal lies and keeping your head in it as it can be depressing to nail a shot on line-on target and the second rattles the trees right and it’s over 50 yards back and that’s the one you have to play.  The goal was to be no worse than bogie overall (+9).  Finished the round exactly on the number with some solid recoveries, no penalty strokes and only one 3-putt.
