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.

    • Birdied #13 at Quail Brook, which is new. Blocked tee shot right which ended up being fine because I didn't hit it well enough to reach the fescue. Had 110 to the flag and was ready to hit a 3/4 GW to it (even tagged the club) but felt the wind pick up behind me so I decided to club down to the SW and hit it to 4'. Lipped out a 15-footer on #17 for birdie for a tap-in par that also would have been new.
    • I've had a couple of good shots since the last time I posted, 1 a 90 yard approach that I manufactured with my gap wedge that I knocked to about 18 inches, 1 a ~140 yard 8 iron that I got to about 3 feet (pictured), but this week my best shot was a 60 yard pitch. It wasn't anything special but I did hit it out of a divot, so that's what I'm more proud of. Plus, i didn't really have any memorable shots this week.
    • Just a  follow up, I had the best lessons ever on gears with the best instructor! Wish I would’ve made the drive earlier in the year but put it together during a golf trip. Gears was incredible to see your swing in 3d with all the necessary data. I’ve had very few formal lessons in the past and a couple online but nothing compared to working with Erik. He made it  very comfortable and relaxed, patient with all my  questions and showed some swing comparisons of pros swings.    Our main focus was getting the pelvis to move in a better pattern and when he first pushed on my hip with that pvc going back it was like a “wow” moment. And to see the affects in real time just made it quicker to adapt and learn how to find it again, however, even without gears I’m sure it would’ve been an awesome lesson..it’s just nice for some players to see the facts, no debate… At the end of the 1st session I was shocked at the video seeing my pelvis move better, hips open, no early extension. I was literally like I can’t believe that video capture is me! I’m glad I had a second session the following morning, just to reinforce the earlier ideas and work on the next piece to complete the movement, and we still had plenty of time to mess around with lower priority ideas for later. I left that afternoon armed with a practice plan, he took extra time to show me what to look for on my own video and I got a copy of LSW. We’ll continue on evolvr for checkups until another road trip for sure! I also just ordered the stack system with his discount code to work on some speed training as well.    Just wanted to share my appreciation for all Erik’s help and anyone finding there way here like I did over the winter to give it a try!
    • Day 8. Did a bit of setup and backswing work but hip is not ready to swing yet.
