10 min back home! Did my swing routine. Sklz, 7 iron, driver. Stop at top, pump, step thru and full swings

discouraging how quickly lose rhythm and strength. Four days and feel technique and timing decay

3/11: 15min. Reviewed evolvr lesson. Continue more slow motion in mirror of same but adding two thoughts:

1) don't let club open up as much after A2 (still tend to cup and roll forearm open a bit);

2) keep hips opening more by thinking of straightening left leg as coming into impact. Drive left back pocket around and back. 

Overall positive feedback tho, so it's stay on course and solidify improvements via slow dedicated practice at home and range with video.

15 min. Sklz swing trainer, 7 iron and driver. Stop at top, pump and full swings.

curl (coil?) up and down seems to deliver lag on swing thru.

Going to range and play tomorrow!

3/11: Played 36 today. Shot 93 and 90. First round was descent with a few very bad holes. Second round was much better, but kind of fell apart around the green at the end...flubbed a couple chips and missed a 3-footer on the last two holes. Fun day, though. :-)

Got to the range today, worked on my downswing piece. Looks better than it has. Still need some work on it, but pretty good first range effort.

Also got in about 20 minutes of short game work. A couple of sand shots, a couple of pitches and chips, and some lag putting work. All in all, a pretty good amount of work for having about an hour at the range.

11/3/17 - Made it to the course and went out late to work on partial wedges as I don't really care for doing that on the range. Hit from 120, 75 and 50 with 50 strangely the hardest distance (I'm taking a 1/4 gap wedge and have yet to feel really confident about how it releases on the green). Results from 120 and 75 were good though and I also got to do some long range bunker work with nobody else on the course.

From 120 - hitting a 3/4 gap wedge for 2 balls and a 1/4 7 iron for the other two:

Bare lie from the right of the green, coming up a dip - really tough pitch in terms of contact and had to land it at most 2 feet on to get it to stay on the green. Delighted with these results:

12/3/17 - Hit the range and did some remedial work on my takeaway, as I've started to slip recently. Some good stuff, but easy to see it regressing if I don't keep at it (the first swing is a great example). Will try to do some more mirror work tonight to make it stick a bit more.

    • Couple things to update First on the clubs/ball. I switched golf balls to the Left Dash ProV1x. It seems like a great fit for me. I always need lower spin off the tee, it's about a half club longer into greens, and still gives me enough spin with chips and pitches to hit whatever shot I need. The durability is insane too, played 35 holes with one over my last two rounds and it still looked brand new until I lost it. Hybrid is no longer. Couldn’t quite get a consistent strike and the random snap hook left was always lurking as soon as the strike drifted out towards the toe. I know it was me not the club but I couldn’t stand the lefts anymore. Titliest fitting guy came to our club a few days ago and I had been curious about the T200 3iron. I hit a few with it and the stock HZRDUS graphite shaft, it wasn’t bad at all but I could definitely tell when I mishit it. Then the fitter had me try the U505 3iron. When he asked if I was open to trying it I said something like “Isn’t that the game improvement one?” and he said “Just trust me and hit a few with it”. Within 5 swings I was sold. Suddenly it didn’t look as big and chunky when I started hitting rocket after rocket. It did every single thing I want a 3 iron to do. It flies very high, forgiving, can hit it off the tee and ground, can flight it low when needed, and best of all, it doesn’t go left. He had me try to snap hook one left and it resulted in a nice tight draw, nowhere close to a hook. Tried it with the stock shaft and their upgraded one, ended up hitting it the best with the Graphite Design Tour AD IZ-95. Ended up getting a great deal on a used one that arrived yesterday so going to go measure my numbers with it today at the range. I expect to be using this a lot for 2nd shots into par 5s, being that 230-250 club. Hit some on the Mevo+ yesterday and the distance is exactly what I needed.     From a playing perspective, been playing pretty solid so far this season, driving and putting have been solid overall, approach shots have been good for the most part and short game wasn't great to start the year but it's been getting better lately with some more dedicated practice. Compared to scratch over 7 rounds:
    • so with the driver. Feel more arm  width at A4. keep an in the eye on the ball. The first move from the top is lowering the hands down. Don’t mix that up with looking up at the target as the club comes down from A4 with the body. Feel like I get width with the arms from the chest in the Downswing.

    • Went back and reviewed my rounds this year at my home course to fill out the spreadsheet. Realized I have made at least par on each hole but two that I have bogied. At my skill level, it gives me a new confidence that I can play each hole decently well and strong together a lower score. Great mental boost. 
    • I'm at 330 I think. I have a spreadsheet with all of them in it. It helps having lived in two countries. 159 in the US and 136 in the UK. Then a handful in Europe and a few in other countries (Canada, Australia, Mexico).
