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.

    • Good progress. I am finally feeling like I am settling my weight into my right foot earlier in the backswing. Right hip sinks back, right leg feels staying flexed. Feeling very stable and firm in the right leg. I feel like I could do a good squat with that right leg. Very balanced. 
    • oops, forgot Pebble Beach and Spyglass.  And two more of the original Open rota, Prestwick and Musselburgh (with hickory shafted rentals).  And Muirfield.  And maybe a few more, I'll check my list when I get home.
    • Day 189 2-20 Really focused on rotating the forearms today with wrist arched. Did some single arm swings as well. 
    • In March of 1978 I got to play Pebble Beach GC. Played it from the back tees, since I knew I'd probably never play it again. Oops, shot 102.  Three weeks later, I played Torrey Pines - South, again from the back tees (maybe 6,700 yds in those days). Shot an 87, and missed a birdie putt on the lakeside No. 18 green. In 2021, I played TPC Deere Run in the Quad Cities area. This is site of the John Deere Classic. It was early October and the course was undergoing renovation, so I got to play the front nine twice for $110, lunch included. The course was great and the driving range was unbelievable. Hint: you need to pay attention to the wind drafts before you try to challenge the cross bunkers! BTW, Deere Run is a public course. Norwood Hills Country Club is site of the Champions tour event, the Ascension Charity Classic, now the Stifel Charity Classic. This classic layout has 36 holes.This summer I hope to play the West course where the Champions event is held; Missouri Golf Association is sponsoring an amateur event there.  I have played the shorter East course three times - it's quirky but quite fun. Also: Circa 2000 I played il Picciolo, a course at the base of Mount Etna in Sicily. The volcano was spewing ash that week. The course frequently hosts European pro events. Lots of elevation change and gently rippling fairways. Left a 7i shot 10 yards short of green on one par 5. Turns out the hole had a 12-foot high alpine flagstick, and I was not as close to the green as I thought I was (bad perspective).
    • Just the Plantation course at Kapalua. Not like I didn't know it, but it was a visceral reminder of how ridiculously good the tour pros are. That course is f***ing *hard* playing it from ~6500 yards. From the tips!? Then if there's wind?!
