Day 63.  Today didn't go as planned, but I was still able to hit a dozen full swings with an 8-iron in my practice room (mat, into net, real balls, indoors).

Day 313

Just finished up on the DR in preparation to play a par 3 course. 

Hit my 7W, 7i, 9i, AW, and SW.  Focus was on my preshot routine for alignment.  A one piece take away, and crisp contact on the ball with my 70% swing tempo. 

The first green will tell me how well my putting will go to day.  

Target score is 62. Then again, not sure there are actually 18 holes? I should probably know that...lol

Day 121

First day I really felt well (physically) doing seriously full swings this week.  

Worked my new 60º and felt good with the results up to 50 yards, again.  Great height with good results in getting close to the hole.  I suspect I would have been able to one putt from many of the stopping points.  I was not doing anything greater than a 3/4 swing.

Took full swings with a 3h.  Too many topped balls due to pulling my head up just a bit. Really worked to keep it down with a continuous turn of the hips.  Not sure why I could not just relax and swing through the ball better.  I did improve as I worked on the corrections.

7i and 7h were ok but not great, took a while to get both of them on track. Nice loft from both; but the 7i was a bit erratic in terms of directions.  Not wildly off, but just enough to make me focus on how open or closed the club was.

Day 57:

Played 18 today. My GG died 4 holes in, so no data. Drove the ball beautifully. Irons are still a mess. Putting and pitching came and went and then came back again.

Day 314

Just an easy 30 minutes of putting this morning.

Using one ball, focus was on reads, rolling the ball over my chosen line, and absolutely no 3 putts.

Day 122

Beautiful day to swing a club!! 

Clear blue skies, no real wind, 66º.

Hit every club at least 6 times.  Added one for any serious flaw beyond a simple fade or push, to topped flight due to pulling my head up.  160 swings  over all.

Big thing, aside from taking care to continue to develop a pre-shot routine, was taking my time between shots, time between clubs.  I really worked on not rushing nor hitting the ball as hard as possible.  Result was greater distance and more on line.

The task today was to enjoy the weather, have fun, correct the "next shot", and not fret about the "last shot."

DAY 353     Out on the range at The Legacy Club for a couple of hours working on the same issues....  Key #1 Steady Head and Key #2 Weight Forward.   Also used the JetStick to continue my work on improving swing speed.  If my reports seem repetitive and boring, they are.. I am committed to fixing these issues..... which have plagued me for what seems like "forever!"  

Tomorrow back at it again! :-)

Day 271 - November 11, 2018 - Hit a bunch of balls testing out and working with the SkyTrak. Then did another workout, after which my arms are pretty much useless. 😛

5+ Minutes of mirror work on some old feels. Right elbow chasing belly button. Not sure I ever committed enough to that swing thought.

Day 64.  Missed yesterday, 11/10 (second miss in last 28 days).  Today I found ten minutes to hit 8-iron full swings, indoors, off a mat, into a net.

DAY 354     Rise and Grind... out by 7:30 a.m.  Spent 3 solid hours on the range working on Key #1 and Key #2.  Also used the JetStick to continue my work on improving my swing speed.  Then headed to the fitness center for an hour long Golf Specific Conditioning session... that kicked my butt!!!   Came home and took a nap!!! :-)  Maybe I should have gone for the flexibility session.

    • Eh. He broke ONE of Tiger's records. Youngest to be ranked #1 in AJGA. It didn't help that Tiger's birthday is in late December, or that Tiger didn't play many AJGA events before he was 15. Did he do any of these things?

    • Day 56: 4/19/2024 Okay, even though I'll be teeing it up in a tournament in less than a week. I couldn't find time to get to the range today.  I spent time on the indoor putting mat.  And I spent time in front of the mirror with my 7 iron. Then again later with the driver.  I also thoroughly cleaned all my clubs. 
    • Just stumbled onto the article.  Totally random and thought it might be interested to hear other thoughts. maybe I am tired of all the LIV crap and  this just caught my attention.
    • Day 1: Spent some time hitting some balls. Working on my hips and a “soft” and straight trail arm.
