Day 1 - restarting this challenge again after letting it lapse a while back.

went to the course this morning and spent 20 mins putting working on bead. Then went to chipping area and spend time on chipping lengths 10-15 yds and shorter pitches or 20-25yds. 

was fun. Wish I could spend more time chipping/pitching. Gonna go out and working on PP (keeping right elbow straight in backswing) for 10mins.

Day 46

Played 9 holes at my Home Town course.  Hit some extra balls separate from my main ball and hit some practice shots.  Since the course is pretty unusual with a lot of challenging shots it was nice.  Just nice hitting the ball on the course i grew up on, worked at and my family has been members for well 50 continual years

Day 35:  Forgot to post my practice yesterday, but its my first missed day.  Been working on my swing basics, and getting a baseline for what I think my swing should be.  So when things go haywire the way they did this week, I'll have something to check back against.  I've also been trying to address what has been going on with my right hand at the top of my backswing.  Think I have some solutions, but time will tell.  Yesterday, was full swing work only with the 8 iron.  Today was mostly 8 iron and ended with the driver.

Day 30

same focus and drills as yesterday. Feel good about getting to A2. Started adding in a forward press as my swing trigger. Still struggling with not getting steep at beginning of downswing.

I wanted to practice putting today, but when I got to the course near me, the practice putting green was closed. 

Day 82 - spent ten minutes indoors with my gap wedge, quarter half and full swings.  Indoors, off a mat, into the net, real balls for quarter and half shots, foam for full (I'm still not convinced it won't go over the net since I don't really control height on my wedges well).
