Day 32, February 11, 2020.  26 putting ball drill from LSW (ruler, over carpet).  Missed 1 left, 4 right, made the other 21 (speed to go at least 4' past end of ruler, really much further).  Longest streak was 8.

Day 2 - 2/12/2020

Forward weight shift work (5SK #2). Modifying the medicine ball swings from LSW (I think that’s where I originally saw it), I used a small 5lb kettle bell, to accentuate weight shift to front foot during the swing to finish with 85-90% of my weight/pressure to left side

worked on 5SK #3 with the blind impact.  Made slower swings with focus on my impact position, then sped them up.

Day 71

Worked on driver and 6-iron, switching back and forth to between balls to get accustomed to transitioning between setup and swing for driver vs. iron.

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

Valentine's Day, woo! Did some mirror work today, really emphasizing the right elbow feeling in transition and the early downswing.

Day 36.  February 15, 2020.  Played 18 holes with two friends.  Shot 80 on the nose.

Two best shots of the day:  hole 16, hit my tee shot into the trees (that wasn't the good shot!).  Played the 5-iron recovery shot described in LSW that @Golfingdad showed me how to hit a few years ago.  Hit it under a tree, then it hooked and flew over a bunker and left me with a 20' attempt at birdie (I made par).  Second-best shot was a 35 or so foot birdie putt made on #18. 

GG round:

View this round on GAME GOLF

Oh, and I beat the 5-handicap benchmarks for both driving (that's a new one for me) and approach (done that many times before) in the round :-)   Putting was at about the 10-15 level, but short game in the 20-25 handicap range.   9 GIR + 6 near-GIR, 221 driving distance average.

Back is a little stiff and got a 6:48am tee time for Sunday morning so just took it easy today with some Planemate pitching band protocol drills and indoor putting while watching Tiger play at Riviera.

Hit 25 balls, the last three of which I hit at full speed as if on the course.

      This Putting Product Actually Seems Like it May Have Some Value.

      By snapfade ·

      I always get adds for "Find your Eastern European Soulmate" I think it's a nifty gadget to have at home. If your going to do a dedicated putting session I could see setting it up. Thanks for sharing.

      Here's the bet. Assuming the pursuit of a Tour card holds, who wins their first Tour event? Charlie, or this Russell kid? Bet is off if Miles Russell signs with LIV.

      Strategy on Neshanic Valley Ridge #2

      By billchao ·

      It seems like too much work for me. I'm actually surprised at myself for spending as much time on this as I already have. Shot Scope tells me my shots to finish with a 7i is 0.1 better than with my 50 or 55 so I'm just going to go with it. Actually, I tend to be the complete opposite. I've never faced a shot I'm convinced I can't hit. It leads to great heroics and complete flops. Conservative for me might just be someone else's normal.

      Future Pro: Miles Russell Age 15

      By iacas ·

      And like Matt said, and I have hinted at… it's ONE ROUND. Because you have to get hot. Better players than him failed to get through. And… Peaked too soon, perhaps. He could also get injured, get surpassed, lose interest or lose his game… Again, if I trusted y'all to uphold the bet, and if the bet wasn't basically a 15-year proposition… I'd bet y'all. The odds are against him, and heavily so. So… he didn't qualify, and he's playing on a sponsor's exemption. Jordan Spieth was 16 years old when he tied for 16th in a PGA Tour event… and I realize that mentioning Jordan Spieth (who has obviously had a lot of success) seems to argue against my point, but Spieth is the exception and he did better at only a year older than this fella. The odds are strongly against him.
