5/5 Played 18. Was +4 through 8 (which is unspeakably phenomenal for me) then earned myself three 10's in the next 5 holes.  Spent 15 minutes pondering the meaning of life. Spent another hour

May 15 - traveling today. Did some shoulder turn work to loosen up a bit. It's a good stretch for older bodies.

5/15:  Back at it with a very long session today.... Sole focus across all work was TEMPO

At least 60 minutes of pitching games in the yard, varying ~30-45yds., at flag (and hole) target, split across 3 sessions; tempo
30 minutes full swing work w/foam balls and TourStriker p7i, at flag target; tempo
15 mins. brisk conditioning drills w/OW (a few sets w/Momentus); somewhere around 4 sets of 20 w/the OW; 2x10 w/the Momentus

Best consistency and striking practice I've had this year.  I was so confident with the tempo focus; every shot felt like very good contact with minimal effort, and the tightest dispersion I've had in a while.  I think it'd have been a low 80s day if I'd been able to play.  Let's see if I can do just that Wednesday.

Driver:  Ping G400 LST 8.5°
FWs/Hybs:  Callaway BB Steelhead III 3w; TM R15 17° & 21°
Irons:  Mizuno JPX825
Wedges:  Cleveland Rotex 2.0 54° & 60°
Putter:  Odyssey 2-ball

5/15: It's only Monday, but I needed a golf-fix, so after about 4-5 minutes of warm-up and slow swings, I spent about 30 minutes just hitting balls. Easy swings, picking a target and thinking about hip turn and weight transfer, but really just having fun. :content:

5/16: 45min at nearby club green. Worked on estimating %slope and confirming with a level. After establishing the actual read, I putted 3 balls from each location. Did variety of close, mid, and long-range putts. Seems like I sunk a far higher share of mid-range putts than I would typically do!

Range work on hip drills. Hit the ball okay at first then I either started thinking of other swing thoughts or just spent too much time on the range. The end of the session was terrible

      Retaining Trail Knee Flex in the Backswing

      By iacas · Posted

      Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.

      Yep. I think it will start to feel even more athletic when we start on the downswing stuff later.  I know, it's just I want to be younger so I have more time to enjoy the changes. 🙂

      I need to drop a couple of stone. 🙂 😛    Yep. Yeah, but in the end, it feels more athletic, like you're actually using your legs, yeah? As you know… we use the best available info we have. Like others, I was fooled a little by 2D images for awhile (moving or still). Unlike others, I've learned and grown and moved on since then, while they're still looking at their images (often from lousy camera angles).
