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

3/03 - 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.

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.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
