4/3/17:

Slow many 50% swings with a 7i. Focusing on positions more than anything, thinking in-line impact, and getting my weight over to the left side.

April 3 - Shoulder turn work without a club. Taking it easy on my elbow.

3/4/17 - Had a hybrid and wedge fitting. The Edel wedge fitting alone amounts to some of the best and most useful practice that I've ever done and can't wait to get them!

April 3, 2017

Busy day and rainy day. Practiced swing-to-top for 5 minutes - without club - using the reflection in the glass of my office door as a mirror. Can feel myself start to lose balance if I over-swing.

3rd April:- Spent 10 mins today working on the backswing, specifically on keeping the clubhead outside of the hand path from address up to A2.

20 min

sklz swing trainer, 7 iron and driver

stop at top, pump, step thru and swings

3/3 alt 7i and driver sets

working slower to keep form. Watching to see when I get tired, what changes

i believe that as I went for more power and/or got tired on Sunday, my shoulder started moving and I was chopping across the ball to produce a slice

at the very least, I have to learn to swing with an emphasis on form rather than effort because I don't get more distance when I swing harder

4/3:  45 mins. total
15 mins. loosen-up/conditioning drills w/OW & Momentus (turn; hinge/release; full swings)(focus on consistency in balance)
20 mins. full swings w/foam balls (focus on keeping lag into A7; launch direction slight push)--using tour striker pro iron
10 mins. fatigued form-keeper drills (2x20 reps full swings w/OW, no balance loss on any rep)

Looking forward to a range session + playing tomorrow; hoping to see payoff in consistency of ball-striking, and from putting work.

4/3: Lots of rain this evening...10 minutes of putting in the hallway.

4/4/17:

Practiced some. 1/2 wedges with limited flight balls in the yard for about 10 minutes this morning. Frankly, I'm not good at half wedges so I felt I needed some practice, so I brought my hula hoop out, and tried to land the limited flight balls inside the hula hoop.

4/06 - wall drills followed by putting (bead)

[boogielicious]

April 4 - Mirror work using a club holding the head end to keep it light and take stress off my elbow. Focused on turning shoulders and hips from the top and keeping the wedge with my right elbow. All this to have my hips more open at impact.

Right now in the north of Boston area, indoor practice is all I have.  Recent snowfall killed any chance of courses opening in the area this week.  I work on proper hand positioning and sequencing through the swing.  I really need to start scratching some tickets to get an indoor sim...

20 min

sklz swing trainer, driver and 7 iron

stop at top, pump, step thru and full swings 

3/3 alt 7 iron and driver

tried reverse order and noticed more control on driver swings. Maybe less influenced by 7 iron or just less tired

worked on lagging club on swing thru and finishing all the way w/o losing balance

no golf this weekend and travel next week

4/4: 10 minutes with metronome app and focus on tempo. Just slow to medium, ~three-quarter swings, starting balls to the right of my target line. I'm working on feeling a smooth tempo, weight shift, and a bit shorter swing. Hoping I can fall back on this when my nerves get going Friday (first tournament ).

[BamaWade]

4/4:  15 min. range session--full swings (worked on shaping); walked 9 holes; some extra approach work ~100y and in.

4th April:- 15 Mins again spent on the full swing, outdoors with no ball. Still finding what 'feel' gives the correct picture for the take-away up to A2. Strangely enough, at present it is the thought that the right forearm "pulls" the straight left arm and club back along the target line. Right elbow stays close to right hip.
