Got to the course for today's round early.  Part of it was that if I didn't, I'd be sitting in traffic.

But part of it was to do some putting drills for 10 minutes before starting my "pre-round" warm-up.  I did a circle of 3' and a few 5-6', as well as speed drills.  Did it help?  I think so.

6/22: Finally a day with no rain!! :banana:

Was family game night, so no course time, but I did get ~30 minutes out front... 10 minutes of slow-mo backswings, focus on hip turn/no sway, a few reps and then an easy shot at a target, rinse and repeat. 10 minutes of pitching practice, hitting at my buckets. And another 5-10 minutes just hitting shots (at targets) for fun.

6/23:

Played 18 in very wet conditions.    Practiced for 35 minutes chipping until they allowed us on the golf course.   On the golf course, since it was so wet, I just tried to focus on keeping my weight forward.

6/23: Sunshine and no rain today! :dance: Walked nine holes after work, shot 4 over. Was playing well, but felt stiff and rusty. Stuck a couple of wedge approaches close but couldn't convert on the birdie putts. Great fun, though.

6/24:

Played 18 again in very wet conditions.    Still working with my driver.   Only hit 5 fairways so I hit a small bucket of balls afterwards, working on setup and take away.  It's a shame I didn't hit the range before I played instead of after...I was on the first tee before the course opened.

6/24/17:

Practiced chipping a bit in the yard this morning.

I got out and played 18 yesterday. After being +5 thru 4 holes. I was +5 the rest of the way for a solid 82. With a double on 18. I only hit 3/18 GIR (ouch), but after the 3rd most of my misses were nGIR, and had some easy chips and got up and down for par 8 times. I also had a near under GIR on 9 but misjudged the chip a bit, and left it 10 feet short. But it's getting better I think I'm just a little bit away from a 10 GIR round. 27 putts, which I'll take most of my one-putts were inside 3 feet though after some great chipping.

6/24 Several 5 minute increments today, but nothing as concentrated as the end of last week:

* 3-4 times today, set up to a ball with the mirror away from me (relative to what the target would be if I swung).  Worked on my backswing priority piece from evolvr.  Indoors, with ball, but no contact.

* Twice today took my grip (admittedly, not my Edel putter, but another putter with a similar grip in the golf room) and hit a few putts on the ruler to acclimate to the drill.  The thing I really learned is that I need to use a real golf ball, because wow can I keep that plush one online!

Some swings making sure I'm not rushing my transistion from backswing to downswing. Getting the feeling of a slight pause at the top.

6/25 - range day! Playing with the boss Friday, so wanted to get some things ironed out. 

Centered turn is becoming second nature, so I worked on some set up issues pointed out on my swing thread. Hit really well...it's been awhile so it was nice to have that going into the next round

    • Day 76 - Pretty sore today, so I opted for putting over my Stack session. Primary focus was on starting line, as my putting has been pretty poor this year. 
    • Been a bit of delay in updates but I needed to come back east as my mom's health has taken a serious turn for the worse. In a 3 day span we learned she had a tumor to she has stage 4 cancer and stopped eating and drinking for the most part. She has had a rough 3 months but certainly didn't think we'd be at the point of setting up hospice for her. My mom was never into any sports really other than following the Red Sox because my dad was a big fan. She always cared about what we were involved in including asking about how golf went.  I have kept up with my 5 minutes of daily practice and will go to the gym here in NH tomorrow morning. Despite the somber nature of this trip my family has commented more than a few times about my weight loss so it's important to me to keep it up. I know my mom always wanted us happy in whatever we did so I'll continue with my fitness journey keeping that in mind. 
    • Day 109- Putting drills on a putting green for 20 minutes. 
    • Day 252: did a stack session. Did some slow rehearsal swings during breaks. 
    • Day 82: 3/18/24 Tried a Stack session but could not certify my warmup. Finished with indoor chips and putting.
