Day 91: Same thing as the past couple of days: right arm drill, getting hips more open and elbow more bent at impact. Worked in some slow and faster full swings as well. Looking forward to getting to the range and doing some filming tomorrow and/or Wednesday.

Day 169

Tried to work on hitting wedges today, but hit 5 balls over my net before conceding that my platform and mat need to be closer to the net. Didn’t feel like exerting the effort to move stuff, so worked on a rescue long iron punch out shot. Was doing okay off the mat, but I seem to struggle on course on more awkward lies.

Day 87 - played 9 and shot a 41. No hooks today but a few pushes. Good news is the ranges are opening and I can get a handle on ball flight.

Day 149 - May 26, 2020

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

Another interesting day. Went to the range at about 6:30. Fortunately the back end is in the shade. Started off hitting some half swing 7I. Did not go well. Had no feel for the swing, began searching. Hit some 8I. Chipped some drivers. Hit some wedges. More 7I. Almost none good. Some fine, but I knew they were not done "properly."

Toward the end, found a feeling when I decided to hit some 5I. Not sure why… but I had the feeling and striped a bunch of 5I in a row. Left on a high note.

But not before hitting a bunch of pitches and chips. Longer ones, 30-40 yards.

Day 3 - 5-27-20 (3/3)

This challenge was the only reason I spent 5 minutes practicing today, so I'm glad I'm trying it.  Spent 5 minutes after a long day practicing grip and start of the backswing/takeaway.

Day 171

Hit irons off my mat for a little bit, working on keeping hips more quiet in the backswing. Contact was awful, nothing felt right at all and plenty of mosquitos out, so just called it a day.

    • I kind of like this interpretation especially if you think about it the unplayable rule would probably put you in a better spot.  using back on the line releief.  
    • I did not realize that, I was thinking a more traditional golf club.  
    • Thanks for the feedback. @StuM, we are a "club without real estate" so no facilities or pro. We have a membership of around 185 players and we only play together as a group at our tournaments, which are held at public access courses. A group of us setup the tournaments, collect the money and dole out the prizes.
    • In general, granting free relief anywhere on the course isn't recommended.  Similarly, when marking GUR, the VSGA and MAPGA generally don't mark areas that are well away from the intended playing lines, no matter how poor the conditions.  If you hit it far enough offline, you don't necessarily deserve free relief.  And you don't have to damage clubs, take unplayable relief, take the stroke, and drop the ball in a better spot.
    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.
