Day 127 - May 4, 2020

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

Mirror work in the patio windows while watching Game 5 of the 2017 Stanley Cup Finals. Sorry, Preds fans.

Day 128 - May 5, 2020

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

Hit some balls while @NatalieB was doing her PXG fitting. Feels are still that my arms barely do anything on the backswing.

Day 67 - Practiced. What else is there to do?😡 Started with the punch drill with a 6 iron, then onto a SW. Filmed a partial SW to check progress. Moved onto a bit of a ladder drill with I go through my preshot and hit one 3/4 shot and one full shot with PW through 3H, then 3W and driver full.

Worked on chips and pitches with PW and 54. Ripped a piece of molding down to 2” and then, using a coping saw, fit it to a corner and trimmed to size. Tacked it in place. Polyurethaned the front side of the pocket door, two coats and let dry. Mowed the lawn, edge trimmed and raked. Vacuumed the hall then mopped it to clean up after the molding work. Cleaned molding in another room to prep for painting. Went for an hour walk with my wife.

Day 73: Did some mirror work, mostly checking my path, but also doing a little bit of work on my priority piece of less flow in my swing.

I also forgot to post yesterday, but I did a superspeed session. I haven't missed a day in a while, so it probably won't matter.

Day 151

Did some grip strength experimenting with a 7-iron. Really need a launch monitor or driving range to see ball flight, but think I’m on the right track.

Day 68 - Worked on partial wedges again after feedback from my Evolvr instructor. Setup the shaft a bit higher and press it a bit forward. Contact felt better. I did the COVID towel drill as part of it.

Day 74: Mirror work again today. Worked on less flow in the swing, making sure I wasn't moving too far off the ball from A1 to A1.5

Day 152

Beat from a workout, finally started my shelter in place fitness plan. Started off with some full swing 7-irons but was just too tired to move my body in sync, so did mapping drill slow speed drill. 1/3 swings were hyper focused on backswing, 1/3 were downswing, and 1/3 were entire motion. Managed to get to 30 seconds on one of them.

Day 69 - Played 18 today. Body felt very good considering. I wish the range and practice greens were open because I would have done some practice afterward.

    • I have seen across twitter today most of livs biggest aloggers admit they wrong and the product is great for viewers.
    • Golf does not need those idiots who throw things like that. Not on any tour.
    • I have won the net division of the 2024 William Anderson Match Play Championships at Neshanic Valley Golf Course.
    • I won the net division of the match play tournament. Yesterday was the semifinals and my opponent conceded the round to me on the 2nd hole because he knew he would be unavailable for the final today. I got lucky there and got a bye into the finals. We did end up playing our match as an exhibition and I would have lost. It was the worst round of the tournament for me and I think knowing that the match didn't matter might have been a factor. I'll write up a blog post about the whole experience at some point. Today I won, 3&1. My opponent and I halved the first three holes much to his credit. I was striping it and he just kept scrambling and hanging in there. We both blew up on the par 3 4th hole but I ended up taking that one by holing an 8-footer for double bogey. I went up 2 after he put two in the penalty area on #5 and promptly gave that hole back by putting my tee shot into the penalty area on #6 by a foot. It's important to note that most of the penalty areas on this course are deemed environmentally sensitive areas and we are not allowed to enter or play shots out of them. So even though I physically was able to play a shot from where I was on #6, I could not, by rule. I followed that by winning #7, making a 25' birdie putt and finished the front 9 3 up after he had some bunker trouble on #9. I went up 4 by winning #11 (we both sucked on that hole but he missed the putt to halve). On #12 we both hit the green with our tee shots. He hit his first putt past the hole and I lagged mine inside of 4' with an uphill putt for par. His putt for par was too long again, just inside of mine but definitely outside of gimme range. I gave him that one for bogey. I felt at the time, being 4 up, that I didn't want to win the hole because he ends up missing a 3-footer and fourputted or something. I wanted to win the hole by making my par putt. I did not. He probably would have made the putt anyway (he's not me after all, and he made everything in that range all day) but it seemed like the sporting thing to do at the time. He was genuinely surprised I gave it to him, butI felt good about it. Then it almost bit me in the ass as he started to mount a comeback. We halved #13 after he made a great up & down and he took #14 with a long par putt. He also won #15 with a 5' birdie putt. We halved #16 with a pair of bogeys after he put his tee shot in the water and I missed a 4-footer for the win. We got to #17 and I was still 2 up. He hit his tee shot just off the back of the green to an extended apron area short of the back bunker and I put mine on the green pin high but 30' away. He was actually closer so I played first and hit it within a foot for par. He didn't hole out for birdie which sealed the match and ended up making bogey on the hole. With the pressure off, we both played the par 5 #18 well. He played it as a three shot hole like a normal person and hit it to 8' and two-putted for par. I striped my drive and ended up with a downhill lie to an uphill approach like 180 yards out and gave myself the green light to go for it in two. Thin hooked it into thick rough to the left of the green with a bunker in between and hit a high flop to 4', probably my best shot of the day. Made the birdie putt.
