April 23rd:- Further 20 mins of full swing practice. Again working on the backswing, making slow centered hip turns, checking the position, then swinging through.

4/24: Got some video done at range for submission to instructor- will post to my swing thread later hopefully. Focus was to review latest two lessons and try to incorporate much of that into it.

 April 24 -  went to practice green and practiced chipping and putting.  Then I played one ball around the green.

24/4/17 - slow motion swings at work, still grinding that takeaway feel of left arm not fanning at speed.

4/24/17:

Played 27 holes today... Shot 42-45-42... Trash... Can't hit the ball. Walking 27 holes, I am tired... 6 more days in April...

April 24th:- 15 mins full swing, outdoors, with a ball (for once). The most critical part of the swing for me remains the initial movement from address to A2. Was working on this today, making SLOW swings, keeping the lower body as quiet as possible. When I got it right, ball contact improved noticably.

40 min sklz, 7i and driver swings. Stop at top, pump, step thru and full swings.

for some reason, no matter how slow I went, driver swings would not adhere to form. Tore it down to the ground basics of swing and believe it had to do with not lag in the turn, instead turning and lifting on swing thru. Very frustrating

chipping: only 2/11 on first go thru. That said, managed to clean up pretty quickly, except shanking crept into the practice and I couldn't get it out!

more practice required

4/24: Took the night off from any real "practice", and reviewed gamegolf stats. Only have 5 rounds in so far, and I had to spend some time remembering putts and a shots I forgot to tag.

Funny note: At the start of my latest round, I wrote a "T" on the top of my right thumb to remind me to tag shots, and an "80" on top of my left thumb (on my glove) to remind me to swing at 80%. Four shots later I realized I never look at my hands before a shot.

4/24:  10 mins. wall drills w/club; foci:  stops at A2 to check for parallel, maintaining axis tilt throughout, maintaining hinge & pulling butt of shaft through plane to impact.
Took it easy as I seemed to have sprained my right foot a little in yesterday's work (or 9)...pretty painful when torqued--hoping it heals up for play on Wednesday

4/25/17:

Putted inside for about 10 minutes this morning. Focusing on speed.

4/25: Rainy day. Worked on centered pivot and transition. Get the club to the right spot as I turn back, allow hips to bump forward and turn-  feeling the club drop as transition happens. 10 minutes.

April 25 - Mirror work at the gym. Focused on body turning from the top.

25/4/17 - Worked on takeaway for a bit and spent 5mins rolling putts on the mat from 8 feet.

25th April:- Further full swing practice, outdoors. After reviewing my swing thread I noticed that one of my bad habits (standing too close to the ball) had re-appeared. Adjusted the stance so that my arms hung straight down. This helped to flatten out the backswing from A2 to A4.

5 min Sklz swing trainer. Best I could do.

tomorrow is travel day to visit family until Saturday. Looks like I am going to hold up in the bathroom to get my practice sessions in...

[roamin]

4/25: 5 minutes of wall drill and a few minutes doing one-handed swings -- no ball, just smooth swings, feeling weight transfer, turn, and in-to-out path.

[BamaWade]

4/25:  Light sprain still evident, so kept it light again; 5 mins. in front of mirror, no club, making full turn back, inspecting posture at address, then axis tilt through turn back, and turn through to finish

April 26 - Mirror work at the gym. Focused on getting the body to turn from the top, arms to swing out more. Light swings. I also used the Impact Snap training aid.
