5 min Sklz swing trainer. Slow motion form practice. Visitors are here through tomorrow!

6/8: Pitching practice tonight. 15 minutes pitching at different targets in the yard. Only focus was not going too fast and enjoying the evening.

[BamaWade]

6/8:  Got to the club today.
20 mins. range session for warmup, but mainly worked on getting swing grooved back in w/some ball flight feedback
Walked 18 holes; worked on not breaking left wrist down (causing my hook).  Shot 89, which is okay but a little disappointing based on how I'd been practicing and striking it (up until the last few days anyway), but my full swing game was low-80s...from 80 in and around the greens, just a whole lot of meh.

June 8th:- 5 mins chipping, followed by 10 mins full swing; aiming for a full shoulder turn while maintaining key#1- steady head.

6/9:

Drizzle rain today.   Got the metal yard stick out for about 10 minutes of putting.

6/9: Putted for 45 minutes. Didn't use the level today, to see if I could trust my reads without verifying the exact % slopes. Definite progress in how I read greens after taking Aimpoint as i was able to get some decent reads. I can't say I'm very good at using my feet, but I think it's some combination of feet and eyes and general awareness. Perhaps I'm getting too familiar with this one practice green though! I'll have to move around to different places.

Also swung without a ball for 10 minutes on the range- to see if my neck could handle it. Progress. Hopeful to swing and hit some balls next week.

June 9 - A bit sore from yesterday's round. I may have to ride when playing for a while. Did some shoulder turn work and swing feels from my Evolvr lesson. I hope to film some this weekend. Also, I will do some pitch and chip work in longer grass later. I had some fluffy lies and my shots went short yesterday.

6/9:  more pitching and chipping practice; some slow-motion full swing work to work on getting the club from going back too flat on the backswing.

6/9/17:

Easy 9:00 to 3:00 swings with my wedges, standing a little closer to the ball, as trigonometry says I should.

6/09 - chipping with a putting stroke down the hallway working on speed.

June 8.  Did two separate five-minutes each things at home.

* Worked on back-swing.  Ball, but no hitting, using the mirror in "my new golf room."

Like how you just slip it in there that not only you have a "golf room" (unless of course the wife sent you out to the wood shed, literally!) and that it is "new"

I would imagine a fair I number of folks in the sand trap are a wee bit jealous!

 

6 min on the train doing my lay stretches amidst the crowd

5 min Sklz swing trainer

visitor is staying thru Sunday (ugh) when I take off for two weeks of travel. Think I'm gonna have to do Sunday golf and risk the wrath of the wife!!! If I don't post after Sunday, you know what happened!

6/9:  Pitching work in the yard.  48 balls from 35yd. "tees" to my flag/hole.  Worked solely on getting good lean (inline impact) and using my body to drive the swing.  Result was very solid impact, low and spinning, though I hit several a bit long.

[roamin]

6/9: Nothing special tonight, just 5 minutes of wall drill.

My hips have a tendency to sway back (away from the target) on the backswing...

Still setting it up.  Check out its progress: 

 

6/9 : in addition to some mirror practice, I went to the range to work on my latest priority piece (having hands less way inside at the top).  I also wanted to see some ball flight to convince myself I wasn't about to start snap-fading everything (although I know that isn't a problem as long as it moves me in the right direction, but I will utterly panic when it happens).

Bucket of 33 balls, outdoors.  The first 20 or so were all set up, take a backswing, stop at the top and check, sometimes using the camera, then address again, stop at the top and check, the slow motion the downswing, then if I did the first two things well, I'd attempt a full shot.  And I hit some really good shots on the range today, mostly with my 6-iron.
