Day 5: worked on my bead with the putter for a little change. Putted on a yardstick. First time trying this. It was ... interesting to start and then I did okay.

Day 39.  A dozen balls hit with good, full swings with an 8-iron, focused on setup, in my practice area.  House guests tell me the noise doesn't travel that much, but they were aware I was hitting golf balls.  Good to know!

Day 289

Just some dry, no ball swings this morning. 

Focus was on a one piece take away to the top, and starting my down swing with a left hip movement. As the club head passed through  the impact position, I wanted feel my wrists release, and hear the "swoosh"  sound made by the club head speed. 

Did about 20 of these swings using my 6i practice club. Then another 20 using my 2i practice club. In place of a ball, I used tees, just clipping thr tops of them.

DAY 327    Rise and Grind!!  2 hours on the range working on getting more forward shaft lean and my chest more over the ball at impact...... since these two were the areas I need to address next based on my playing lesson last Friday.   So I hit balls off downhill lies, used my Impact Snap, did Pump Drills, ... slow motion drills.   Made some progress, though still a long way to go.     Will work indoors and on my patio after dinner.... to get in more reps.

Day 255 - October 16, 2018 - Spent a good 15 minutes working on my backswing and downswing pieces. I'm still loving the "right palm out" feel. Could do more "braking" but I'm not too dismayed. Today was a good session.

Day 6: Back to mirror work again. Still trying to ingrain the feelings to get me in a good spot at A2 and then steeper from A2 to A4.

Day 40.  Today being Tuesday, it was putting day.  I got a good 30 minutes in, mostly within 10', after work and before a social engagement.  Real balls at a real grass putting green (my home course's practice area).

Day 33: 

Range day. Off of mats so instead of wedges as planned I worked on my full swing priority piece...key #4. Established a better posture than as of late and conducted the "pump drill" with my PW and 6 Irons. I would mix in a series of full shots here and there. Hit some really good shots...and some shanks lol. All part of practice I guess.

Day 100! (Never thought I would make it here!)

Time constraints are limiting me to 10 minutes of swings off a mat.  As this is different from my usual work, it makes it seem as if I were not working enough.  Focus was on position of hands on every aspect to the swing.

Day 20

10 minutes working on backswing and top of downswing. Having real trouble keeping the club reasonably in a swing plane as I I tend to drop the club towards the ground and then coming down inside-to-outside.

DAY 328     2 1/2 hours on the range working on improving my forward shaft lean, impact, ...   used Pump Drill, hitting off downhill lies, 9 to 3 Drill, and Impact Snap.    I am making some progress, still a long way to go.   One of the very nice things is that they just introduced hundreds of new golf ball on the range.... sweet!!

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Clemsonfan ·

      Day 113: 4/18/24 Stack training progress check after finishing my 6th program, and 4th Full Speed Spectrum Training session, which is recommended for my next program.     Gained 1 mph with driver, 195 g, 95g. Maintained with 280 g , and gained 2 with 145 g. Lost 1 mph on both lead and trail arm. Felt like I lost distance in my last round…

      My Swing (billchao)

      By klineka ·

      I'd agree that 4w seems like the right play here. I'm not a course designer or anything but that hole looks like it could be so much more fun if everyone played from those front 2 tee boxes that are right outside your shot cone and they cut down most of the trees down that left side of the fairway. That would give risk reward to long hitters who want to try and push it up to that left fairway, allow more players to reach that second fairway, and still allowing it to be perfectly playable for someone who only hits driver like 150yds off the tee.   Yeah it looks like 4iron aimed at that inside edge of the right bunker is the play there, especially if you don't expect a 20mph tailwind again. If it is down wind again, 5iron would be just fine too, it'd still get you inside 150yds for your approach.  Keep in mind tee marker locations too, you measured that one from the back so if those tee markers are moved all the way towards the front of that box then 5 iron is probably best just to be sure that right bunker is never in play.

      Best Shot of the Week

      By billchao ·

      Hit my tee shot just into the penalty area and barely found it. Swung hard just in case I hit it. It was slightly downhill with a heavy tailwind. I don't actually hit my 9i 170 yards.
