Day 2

played 9 this evening. Struggled with the swing, especially off the tee. Really took me out of play.

Day 23.

Did work with my driver indoors today, doing a slow movement and focusing on not coming over the top as I incorporated my new swing.

Day 80.  I hope you aren't too bored of my routine, but I'm happy to have one and not let "busy at work" translate into "not practicing golf at all."  Three dozen balls, indoors, mat, net, that whole deal.  Hopefully will get outside this weekend!

Day 236

Nothing but flop shot practice this morning, using my 4 wedges. 

Focus was on open stance, ball in stance, club face aim, and swing tempo for the distance required

The ball flies high, drops almost straight down, and stops with in a few inches from where it lands on a level green. Sometimes I will land the ball on a down, or up slope for a slower roll to the pin.

Other uses are from a lie well below a raised green. I even use it from a foot, or so off the green to a pin just a few feet away. It works well for a pin closely guarded by a hazard. 

This is my favorite shot, and I use it when ever I can. Plus, I am pretty good at it. I can always rely on it should my chip/pitch strokes start causing me grief.

Day 46:

Mainly focused on basic swing with my 7i.  I did not keep my down swing in a good plane as I topped some; sat for two minutes, thought through a proper swing and corrected it.  Why is my brain often taking a break from practice.  Perhaps too little coffee before early morning practice!

Day 37: 

Eh day at the range. Spent about 20+ minutes working on my priority piece. Small bucket of balls. Still using my alignment stick training aid. I really wanna fix this OTT move. Started with slow chips and 50% shots and worked my way up to full hybrids.

DAY 275    Spent 5 minutes putting, 10 minutes on the range... and then played 18 holes.  Had a tweak in my upper back that never did go away, so I struggled through the 18 holes at the North Course at Lake Jovita G&CC.   Played with three friends who I had not seen in a couple of months, so the enjoyment of playing with them overcame the pain.  Now at home, with my PuttOut...   I am sure my back will be better tomorrow, so I can go out and work on my chipping.

Day 202 - August 24, 2018 - I played 18 holes today. Set up a little further from the golf ball, which helped a lot. Made an all-world par on #4 after a slightly bad tee shot and a bad bounce.

Day nine  1miss

I just hit balls into the net, trying to practice routine. I stand behind the ball , pick a target, walk in, set the club, move in, set my feet shoulders then complete the swing. I did this for about a half hour.

Day 81.  While you might have guessed I hit range balls in my sweet golf room at home, I actually hit 25 putts in said room.  Over a ruler, drill from LSW;  25 balls, missed 2 left and 2 right.

Day 237

Course was a little busy this morning. It's starting cool off at night, and the fair weather, weekend golfers are dusting off their gear. 

Spent some time with some short chip shots, using my putting stroke. I was doing so well with it, another golfer saw what I was doing, and approached me about it. I explained the basics to him. He tried a few, saw something he liked. I told him for more info, to research the stroke using Paul Runyon's name. Probably another putt/chipper in the makings.

Focus was on reads, alignment, putting stance, landing areas, and contacting the ball with the toe of the club. My chipping/putting grip is basically the same for all my clubs. 

 Hit 42 balls, with 20% +/- hole outs. All the rest stopped in easy, one putt range. This, assuming I putted well enough to one putt them. Normally I would putt them, but as posted earlier, the area was a little busy. It was an (A-) practice session for me.

DAY 276   Spent almost three hours around the putting green.  45 minutes on a couple of putting drills and the remainder working on my chipping technique and skills.  Getting up and down has been the weakest area of my game.  So with some coaching and a lot of practice I plan to improve it a lot.  Maybe tomorrow I will post the 7 drills I am using and the two tests.

Day 38:

wow heck of a short game practice today. Played 18 holes of short game golf, and got up and down 9 times with no doubles. Using essentially the same swing and changing where I grip my lob wedge as the primary way to control distance. Much more control than I have had in the past over where to land the ball. I putted well also but have myself a Lot of looks well inside 10 feet.

Day 47:

Returnerd to focusing on aspects of 5SK and head down in particular.  I worked only on my "second shot" clubs.  5h, 7w/I, 7i and 4h.  I was very happy that I was neither topping the ball or wild left, right turns.  Basically it was a focus on basics.

    • I agree with @klineka & @DaveP043 above.  When a new member first joins the club they cold be told that they are not eligible for tournaments until they have an established HCP.  As you said, it only takes a few rounds.  If they do not to post HCP that was their choice and choices have consequences.  If playing in the tournament is important to them then they should step up and establish an HCP.  Maybe they miss the 1st tournament, is that a real big deal?  And if it is a "Big Deal" to them then they had the opportunity to establish the HCP. As for not knowing how to report for HCP I assume your club has a pro and they should be able to assist in getting the scores reported and I suspect out of state courses may also have staff that can assist if asked.

    • Cool here's my tweak, "If a player’s ball lies in the general area and there is interference from exposed tree roots or exposed rocks that are in the fairway or 1 club length from the fairway the tree roots and exposed rocks are treated as ground under repair. The player may take free relief under Rule 16.1b.[But relief is not allowed if the tree roots only interfere with the player’s stance.]
    • I would never do the extended warranty on the $50 slow cooker.  I also routinely reject the extended service plans on those toys we buy for the grand-kids.  I do consider them on higher cost items and will be more likely to get one if the product has a lot of "Electronic Tech" that is often the problem longer-term.  I also consider my intended length of ownership & usage.  If my thought is it would get replaced in 2-3 years then why bother but if I hope to use it for 10 years then more likely to get the extension. I did buy out a lease about a year ago.  Just prior to the lease end date the tablet locked up and would not function.  I got it repaired under the initial warranty and would not have bought it out if they had not been able to fix it since IMO once electronic issues start in a car they can be hard to track down & fix.  They did fix it but when I bought out the lease I paid up for the extended warranty the would cover electronic failures because my intent is to keep that car for another 8-10 years and I just do not trust the electronics to last.  Last week the touch screen went black and was unresponsive.  It reset on the 2nd time I restarted the car but that is exactly how the last malfunction started.  I fully expect to have a claim on that on repair under the extended warranty.  I do not recall the exact cost to fix last time since I did not pay it but I think it was @ $700-$800 and I suspect that will be higher next time.
    • Have you looked at Model Local Rule F-9 Relief from Tree Roots in or Close to Fairway?  You could extend this to cover exposed rocks.  The rule is recommended to be used only for areas relatively near the fairway, a player who hits a shot 20 yards in the woods doesn't really deserve relief.   Players can always take Unplayable Ball relief, they're not required to play it from a rock or a root.  Of course, they hate to take the penalty stroke too.
