Carpet putting today, doing my % drill from 5ft and 12ft.

The focus was  on shoulder rotation and a steady stroke through the ball.

Filmed my swing using foam balls in the gym. Worked on hips to target at A8-9. Hope to get some SS training in this afternoon.

Day 4 - Ben Hogan's Five Lessons. The "Modern" Fundamentals - 1954 🙂 

Reading is part of golf practice, so I am reading this book again to refresh my fundamental skills. Today I read the chapter about grip.

DAY 458  Yeah, I got outside today!!!   Spent 90 minutes on the range putting into practice what I have been practice in my home office for the last week, and hit the ball really well.   Focused on my backswing (turning versus swaying), and the internal rotation of my right shoulder at the beginning of my downswing....     I think it will be back to home office practice swings tomorrow as I am attending a full day workshop on the Rules of Golf put on by the Florida State Golf Association.....  and then spend time practicing the drop from knee height! LOL!!!

Worked indoors more due to schedule than cool temps.  

Mirror work, for the most part making sure of shoulder positions and over all body action on the basic swing.  About 25 reps making sure I was able to use weight properly to project a good loading up for the release.  Felt good, though a few got sloppy due to my inattention.

Day 130: Got really specific today. Just working on my grip for 5 minutes. Nothing else. Need to make sure I'm getting my right hand in the position I need to. I think I'm making progress, because it's feeling less weird. On the other hand, that scares me a little because I don't know that I'm doing it correctly going forward, haha.

Day 415

Another morning at the range. 1/4-1/2-3/4, and full swings. Most of the shorter swings were for warm up.

Just hitting random clubs at random targets, while using most of my preshot stuff.

DAY 459   Started the day by attending an 8 hour 2019 Rules of Golf workshop put on by the Florida State Golf Association.   And just a few minutes ago, I finished my daily 5 minutes of practice... I used my shortened club to work on impact position and internal rotation of my right shoulder during the start of the downswing.    Hope to have a LONG afternoon session tomorrow, and then back to 4-6 hour practice days on Friday.

Day 223

Had a few minutes to swing my 7i.  Was getting consistent loft and distance (well, except for a few shots which were a danger to worms and gophers everywhere).

Was a little more successful in eliminating the overly wide draw.  Either that or my slight adjustment in aim was well done.

I am at the point now in my game, where I still will work with strong focus, on improving my game.  However, during my rounds I will just have a great time playing the game where I am now.

Day 382 - February 20, 2019 - Made a bunch of swings with my ~1994 Titleist PT driver. The ball was teed up pretty high, which made this tough… but it was pretty successful.

Day 5 - Putting and slow motion swings at home.

I backed up all our digital pictures (ca. 250 Gb) to two hard drives, so I moved the putting mat near my computer and practiced during the transfer.

I focused on short puts from various angles, grip and relaxing shoulders more.

Day 416. 

Just a few minutes of indoor work with the Heavy Putter. Big winter storm hit the area last night. Not going to venture out in it till later. I don't do icy roads.

Same as before. Rolling the ball over a dime several inches in front of the ball. This to simulate rolling a straight putt.

Easy day today with some light mirror swings. I'm a bit sore from all this work. Should be fine tomorrow.

    • Interesting that Scottie is #10 on the all time money list and he's been on the PGAT for 4 years. Of course, purses are bigger now, but  neat to look at non-the-less.  The list of top 18 money winners in PGA Tour history has plenty of surprises This list is updated through the 2024 RBC Heritage. To add, Scottie won 4.5 million at the Players, Jack played 44 seasons and won a little of 5 million on course. 
    • 43 (6 over) Couple bogies, couple Pars, a birdie and no doubles. Not bad for first 9 of the year. 
    • Most the stuff I found on Instagram and just copy and mix it up. a few of my favorites: Clean>Squat>Press> March Around the body >catch >Squat> press I also hold a the kettle bell upside down with both hands on the handle. Squat when I stand back up I lift the kettlebell up over and behind my head and hold then repeat
    • Not sure this is the best thread but, if the rain holds off, today is my 1st round of the year.  Getting ready I can not find my Shot Scope.  I guess I put it away too well for the winter and thus that is may "Winter Depression".  I'm sure I put it somewhere that made sense at the time.  
    • 44+39 for an 83. Figuring stuff out.
