After not practicing yesterday, I took a break to do a little more than five minutes of mirror work today.

Ball for reference, not for hitting.  Indoors.  Used a mirror to check position at the top -- aiming to get it above my right shoulder to correct being too far inside in recent swings.  Will get video of the end result for the MySwing! thread later this week probably.

I'm traveling for U.S. Open / Father's Day weekend, so I'll find other things to do to practice while I'm out.  Fortunately there's a great range nearby where I'll be...

June 15 - Mirror work at the gym. Spent 5 mapping the positions then 10 with slow swings getting the feel down and checking myself out in the mirror.

I am playing 9 today but will ride. I do most likely have a partial tear of my medial meniscus on my left knee (again) and got a cortisone shot yesterday. Doc said I could play if I felt up to it. 

I also go fit for a snazzy brace, so I will look like a wicked cool old guy now!:-P

6/15:  hit a bucket at the range today, working on full iron shots and distance wedges.  It was one of the worst sessions of my life.  I was using some new-to-me irons, but that wasn't the reason I hit the ball so bad.

The distance wedge swings felt completely different from the shots in the yard with the foam balls.  I don't understand that.

    • Thanks for the feedback. @StuM, we are a "club without real estate" so no facilities or pro. We have a membership of around 185 players and we only play together as a group at our tournaments, which are held at public access courses. A group of us setup the tournaments, collect the money and dole out the prizes.
    • In general, granting free relief anywhere on the course isn't recommended.  Similarly, when marking GUR, the VSGA and MAPGA generally don't mark areas that are well away from the intended playing lines, no matter how poor the conditions.  If you hit it far enough offline, you don't necessarily deserve free relief.  And you don't have to damage clubs, take unplayable relief, take the stroke, and drop the ball in a better spot.
    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.     
    • I get trying to limit relief to the fairway, but how many roots do you typically find in the fairway? Our local rule allows for relief from roots & rocks anywhere on the course (that is in play). My home course has quite a few 100 year old oaks that separate the fairways. Lift and move the ball no closer to the hole. None of us want to damage clubs.
    • Hello, I've been playing a Teardrop td17 F.C. putter for many years and love it. It still putts and feels as good or  better than any of the new putters I've tried and it's in excellent condition except the face has dings in it ever since I bought it used that kind of bother me. I was just wondering if it's possible to have some really shallow horizontal grooves milled into the face on a "roll face" putter. I think I would rather spend some money on it instead of trying to get used to a new putter.  Thanks
