Day 3:

I did a bunch of stuff today. 5 minutes here, 5 minutes there.

I worked on putting focusing on the bead... that seems to be improving incidentally. 

Later in the day I worked on speed. Not bad.

Later in the day I did all my footwork drills without the club.

Just now I did 5 minutes of position work with the club. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Day 80 - March 18, 2020

Full swing work again. This is going to be almost everything that I do.

Played 12 holes today (12 goes back toward the clubhouse and is a good stopping point). Added a birdie to my list.

The number of ways that this sounds wrong boggles the mind.

I probably should know this, but when you say "your PP" what are you talking about?

Day 65.  Off-and-on, with a dedicated 10 minute session this evening, 8-iron mostly, indoors, off a mat, into a net.  Not happy with how I hit today, might be because I had blue jeans instead of slacks (does that affect movement?)

Chet, 

Imagination is a wonderful thing. Get yours out of the bathroom!!!!!:-P

PP= Priority Piece. It is the single focus item instructors give us to work on for our lessons. If we try to do too many things, then the results can be slower to attain. So this one piece is my priority to work on until I get it down. Then we move on.

In my case, my instructor wants me to bow my wrist (palmar flexion) a bit at transition to flatten the shaft angle and keep it bowed toward impact. This will get the shaft lean at impact a slight bit more forward and steepen my attack angle with irons. I was coming in a bit shallow.

Full swing work again. This is going to be almost everything that I do.

Worked downtown on the full swing after a long lesson. Full swing work, bump, steep, fall, out.

Day 82 - March 20, 2020

Cleaned out the entire garage, power washed the floor and walls, windows… etc. Threw out or recycled or gave away a ton of stuff.

Then putted for a few minutes inside the house while watching a little TV and waiting for dinner to cook.

Full swing practice with a 7 iron in the basement. Basically, trying to incorporate the footwork drills I've been doing without a club into my swings WITH a club.

Day 6 -

My wife kids and I just spent about an hour playing "Mini-Golf" in our house. We set up "holes" all over the house. Kids had a blast, I worked on my putting (at least a bit). The difference between the speed of the "green" in the kitchen vs the Den was impressive. Ha! It was good family fun. I recommend it, especially if you have kids and you are in lock-down.

    • @boogielicious and I are definitely in for the Stay & Play and will need the extra night's stay on Friday. I don't know what the plans are for our group on Friday but even if we don't make it for dinner with the rest of the Friday arrivals, I'll be more than happy to meet up somewhere for a beer or something.
    • Taking your dispersion and distance in consideration I analyzed the 4 posible ways to play the hole, or at least the ones that were listed here. I took the brown grass on the left as fescue were you need to punch out sideways to the fairway and rigth of the car path to be fescue too.  Driver "going for the green"  You have to aim more rigth, to the bunker in order to center your shotzone in between the fescue.  Wood of 240 over the bunkers I already like this one more for you. More room to land between the fescue. Balls in the fescue 11% down from 30% with driver. Improve of score from 4.55 to 4.40. 4 iron 210 yards besides the bunkers.    Also a wide area and your shot zone is better than previous ones. This makes almost the fescue dissapear. You really need to hit a bad one (sometimes shit happens). Because of that and only having 120 yards in this is the best choice so far. Down to 4.32 from 4.40. Finally the 6 Iron 180 yards to avoid all trouble.    Wide area an narrow dispersion for almost been in the fairway all the time. Similar than the previous one but 25 yards farther for the hole to avoid been in the bunkers. Average remains the same, 4.33 to 4.32.  Conclusion is easy. Either your 4iron or 6 iron of the tee are equaly good for you. Glad that you made par!
