Day 25

Went to the range this morning. Hit lw, gw, 8 iron and 5 iron. Then hit the putting green and worked on pitches out of the rough. Long putts and did the circle drill with 4, 6, 8 footers.

Day 196 - August 18, 2018 - Worked on my full swing before lessons this morning at nine am. Got a good fifteen minutes in, with the feeling being to exaggerate the right arm folding and the lower body doing a little bit on the downswing, but largely being arm driven.

Day 31:

Played 18 hole match with friend. Got whooped 6 and 5, and shot my second straight round over 100. On my favorite course in Houston of all places. I really though I had turned a corner on my OTT move, but as evident from my rounds this month I have lost my new swing positions and have to re-establish them...again.

Day 75.  I am feeling better;  thanks @RFKFREAK for the well wishes.  I hit four dozen balls today;  indoor, mat, into a net, mid-iron.  Still focusing on the evolvr piece, ready to do so at full speed.  I'm having some solid contacts that just sound different than before;  not sure if that's because inside or because better contact.

DAY 269   Got in my 5 minutes today using my PuttOut on the rug in our condo.  And doing some drills with my Impact Ball.

Glad to hear!

Day 5

I been looking at some of my videos, noticed I'm taking the club back I think to far inside the line when I start. Concentrated on trying to get wider on the take away. Still checking my set up on every shot or drill.

Day 231

This morning it was 20-50 yard pitch shots to a pin protected by a bunker. 

Focus was on alignment, tempo, and clearing the bunker. These were either 1/2-3/4 swings, or something in between. Most were also with a some what open club face to simulate my drop, and stop ball flights. Hit 56 balls, with all of them clearing the bunker. No sand practice this morning for me. (B-)

However, a few shots were what I would consider off line by a few feet. Others were a little short, or long in relation to my chosen landing areas. I am more critical of my practice shots, than the same shots when playing for a score. Just shows more room for improvement in my impact position. 

I was hitting balls out of semi rough lies on to the same around the pin. This attributed to the off line, short, and long shots. This course does not cut greens around the pins in their short game practice area. I

Day 43

Decided on a short focus on my 4 & 5 hybrids.  Was getting both loft and expected distance most of the time, Even the two true worm burners I mis-hit traveled 135-150 years straight. Put the alignment rod out and concentrated on ball posit and the worm burners were eliminated.  It's days such as this which point to solutions with a mix of frustration that I still need to spend so much time going back to step one.

Day 32:

Spent about 15 minutes hitting foam balls in the yard. Worked on my OTT move (apparently still my priority piece) and used an alignment stick as a training aid.

DAY 270   Started out by hitting a large bucket of balls on the range -- using three drills I have been assigned to help me keep my head steadier, and improve my movement to my left side on the downswing.

Since the course was available... I decided to play 18 to see how the changes are transitioning to the course.  I played well -- I shot 76 which is 4 over par, and 2 of those strokes were as a result of a lost ball on hole #7.  Didn't make a single birdie... but kept the ball in play and my misses when approaching the green were almost exclusively nGirs.  The weather was interesting in that it was humid with the feels like of 100, until the 17th hole, when the rains came down.  I decided to finish the round... getting soaking wet in the process.

Solid day, looking forward to a practice this week and playing 18 again on Friday, this time with some buddies from where I used to live.

Day 76.  Range, 30 balls, including getting video for evolvr.  Also did speed sticks.  8-iron, 5-iron, and hybrid shots, plus a few wedges.

Day 61, Aug 19

Pitching practice in my backyard on US Open rough. Focused on pivot and feeling like my hip turn was powering the pitch.

Day 1

Went to the range after playing in a scramble. Tried to figure out this driver swing.

Day 19.

Range again.  Piece has been hard to get down.  Decided to do the swing at a significantly slower pace.
