July 31

Practiced putting indoors from 4-8 feet.  Felt good, getting more consistent ball striking but need to develop better feel on longer putts.  Will also try to hit 54 and 58 degrees wedges into chipping target if I can squeeze it in.

I have completed the July Challenge and wish to claim my award!

July 4 - went to the range.  Despite advertised as about 25 balls, it was more.  Perhaps the guy filling them was generous.  Maybe it was related to my amazing clothing for the day, consisting of blue

Excited to give this a shot!   I spent 20 mins this morning chipping into a chipping net working on controlling trajectory.  I've been skulling too many chips lately, and I want to make sure I'm

Worked on irons today. Mostly trying to stay on plane and in-line impact. After yesterday, I realized this is a glaring weakness that needs to be addressed.

This completes the July practice challenge for me.

(I did miss one day due to my internet at home beinh repaired)

Even though I did not succeed for July, I wanted to post today's practice anyway. 

Went to the range, small bucket, outdoors, grass, with ball.  Worked on hitting slowly.  Tomorrow will be faster, as I'm playing Wed-Thurs.  I will try to take video tomorrow of my slow practice swings so we (collectively, whoever wants in) can determine how slow my slow swings are and whether I'm achieving the slow down.  I think that's the biggest thing I learned about practice this month:  that I was deluding myself about part of my practice routine, and hopefully I improve on that going forward.

Do not give me the achievement as I missed two days.  This post was because I want to continue posting my practices as they happen.

Driver:  Titleist 915D2.  4-wood:  Titleist 917F2.  Titleist TS2 19 degree hybrid.  Another hybrid in here too.  Irons 5-U, Ping G400.  Wedges negotiable (currently 54 degree Cleveland, 58 degree Titleist) Edel putter.

I'm so bummed.  I posted 30 of the 31 one days and forgot 7/31.  I returned from a 4 day golf trip to Kokanee Springs in BC, Canada and took the kids to Silverwood,  a local amusement park.  I fully intended to do my 5 minutes of practice but completely forgot until this morning.  :-(  Back to the drawing board and I will try again this month.  Local Amateur tournament this weekend... 54 holes.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
