Day Thirty-two, June 26, 2021

I hit some PW, 8i, 6i, 4i shots I don’t know like maybe 75 balls. My focus was to keep turning through the shot.

Day 546 - June 26, 2021

Had a relaxed 4-hour practice session with @saevel25. I made sure to exaggerate the crap out of the stuff I’m working on. I’ll post more in my Member Swing topic later tonight, but… it was a good and productive day.

Day 6:

Played 18. Pretty good considering it has been over a week since I have hit a golf ball. Felt a little flippy at times, and contact more toe-side than usual, so will need to get some good full swing practice this week.

Day 1 (round 3) (27 Jun 2021) - Picking this up from the break I took to travel to see grands in New England.  Started simple today, pulled the 845s Silver Scot PW out to work on short pitches (10 - 30 yds) in the backyard and as the yard has not been cut in 10 days and there has been plenty of rain it was pitching from the rough.  Focus was on solid contact and keeping fliers from happening.  Felt good to swing the old clubs - they have a familiar predictability I love.  May pull the newer SLDR irons and use the 845s Silver Scots next round.

Day 124.  I played in a tournament today;  net finish: 6th.  Hit GIR at hole 2, not again until hole 16.  Hit 16-17-18.  I haven't loaded GG yet, I think I have a decent SG:A and SG:D and SG:S for the round.  My putting, however.  Anyway, gross score 89, which includes a stubbed chip and a pitch into a bunker, right under the lip.

Something I need to work on:  picking the right short game shot for the situation.  Far too often I see a number and get wedded to it.   That caused both the stubbed chip (well, my poor form did too, but it was something that, in retrospect, I could have putted) and the pitch into the bunker (25 yards?  Quarter SW will do it.  Half a LW would have, too, and gone higher to avoid the bunker, which is what I needed to do).

Driver:  Titleist 915D2.  4-wood:  Titleist 917F2.  Titleist TS2 19 degree hybrid.  Another hybrid in here too.  Irons 5-U, Ping G400.  Wedges negotiable (currently 54 degree Cleveland, 58 degree Titleist) Edel putter.

Day 548 - June 28, 2021

Got in Stack System stuff and hit a driving range earlier in the morning so that I could get some work in on my golf swing. Only hit about 20 balls (someone related to me hit the rest).

Day 125.  I spent 30 minutes on a putting green today, hitting putts of various distances, from around the face, mostly within 10'.  However, the green was so busy I didn't stop to do a drill.  

(Later today I'll hit some balls indoors and maybe after dinner I'll go to a nearby course that is open late and see if I can practice some 25 yard pitches, something I definitely need to practice)

Day 85 (6/29/21) - Medium bucket of balls on the range today, working through the bag with my newly acquired Swing Caddie SC100. I am still trying to sort out the results in my own mind. While smash factors were generally pretty good (1.41 for my Driver), carry distance was less than I anticipated based on my "on course" experience. To be sure, the SC100 is a low cost monitor, however several reviewers tested in against Trackman, Flightscope, etc. with pretty comparable results.

    • Just stumbled onto the article.  Totally random and thought it might be interested to hear other thoughts. maybe I am tired of all the LIV crap and  this just caught my attention.
    • Day 1: Spent some time hitting some balls. Working on my hips and a “soft” and straight trail arm. 
    • Slight digression on the way to my point. Back in the day there were a lot of people who said that Tiger won because of “the Tiger effect” where people pushed too hard and made mistakes trying to catch him and fell by the wayside. I thought that was BS. It was just that he was that much better than them. I don’t think anything has changed my mind on that.    The hype about Miles Russell is very limited. I’ve seen nothing about him outside of some fairly hardcore golf websites. But I think that the reason those people are talking about him is because he is very good. Same as Tiger. And like I said he just broke one of Tiger’s records. That gets hardcore golf fans to pay attention. 
    • No disrespect felt, but since you did apologize you can disrespect once in the future with no guilt.
    • So do a few thousand others. 😉 Something like 14 players born in any year will have PGA Tour status for 3+ years. What drew you to this? He's not from where you live, right? Family friend?
