Congrats! Your achievement may never be broken. How do you feel this work has helped you the most?

Especially the last few months, mostly just actually doing something specific and getting one little thing better so the swing as a whole is better. Mostly just doing something small everyday, helps more than an hour or two on a Thursday.

DAY 131   Spent five hours (yes 5 hours) working mostly on one drill.   The Step Drill.  I have GOT to do a better job of getting to my left side on my downswing, as well as starting the downswing with my lower body.   So I am determined I will ONLY do drills that facilitate this for at least the next week.. and see how it goes.   I can assure you, it was boring, ... but necessary.   Now for dinner.
 

SHOUT OUT to Onthehunt526 for completing a year!!!  I am only 234 days away... gaining on you slowly but surely.  Ha Ha!!

Day 366:

I actually took a break from my A4 to A5 work. Worked on chipping motion and pitching motion this morning after watching a couple of Erik's videos.

Day 1 of Year Two. Let's Go.

Day 90

Bought a bucket of balls and hit driver, and 5w for the most part. I hit all my metal woods today

 Focus was on keeping balls in my made up driving range fairway. Didn't pay any attention to distance since they were range balls. A good swing tempo kept most balls in play. 

Went with my 10.5 driver since it is one of the least used clubs in my bag. Just staying use to it. With the larger head, it is easy for me to lose my comfort zone if not used on a regular basis. 

5w is my least popular club in my bag. It's also the lowest confidence club in my bag. Lack of use, and for what ever reason, I just don't swing it well consistently.

Tried a 12.0 driver I have off the deck. The few good hits I had with it were promising. Had to aim a little more left to allow for a low fade ball flight. Hit some off the tee too.

As always, my 3&7 woods we're on the money for me.

It was a good practice session for me. Not only did most the balls fly well, I was also able to miss those youngster down range looking for Easter eggs. 

 

 

April Fool's . Have a great holiday everyone.

Day four: spent 10 minutes working on putting on the mat, without the template and just practising keeping the length of stroke and tempo the same. Working pretty well from 6ft - 10ft!

Day 46 - a few swings with 9i focus on steady head

[JuanTheGolfer]

DAY 132     Spent about 15 minutes working indoors with my Impact Ball and Short Club to work on my position at the top of my backswing... with the right elbow pointing more perpendicular.. it has a tendency to point out.  Happy Easter to all of you!

Day 58 - April 1, 2018 - Same backswing work.

[iSank]

OK, looking forward to a few games coming up so I find I do a lot better when I practice, and I practice more consistently when I report here. So for April 1 I walked 9holes with my focus being hitting the greens in regulation. That I got to drive and putt was icing on the cake.

Aloha,

Day 47 - 6' putting with new claw grip on short putter working on bead...I like it.

[b101]

Day five: A real mix of stuff. Spent the morning at the course, but with a real focus on just practising - had an hour on the short game area, working on removing excess wrist hinge with my wedges, which is causing me to need to flip too much at impact. Also worked on landing spots with different trajectories. Then went out to the course and played tee shots on five holes, before heading to set yardages: 100 yards, 75 yards, 50 yards and 85 yards and hitting four wedges to each green. After that, I played up and down games with two balls off of each green. Finished up with an hour of putting work - 30 minutes on stroke and tempo work with the Visio template and 15 minutes on lag putting drills.

A decent day!

Day 367:

Back to my A4 to A5 drills this morning. Mostly making sure I'm coming down with my right elbow close to my body. I'm hoping the weather turns around at the tail end of this week or at least my Wednesday through Friday next week, so I can take these motions, I've been practicing to the golf course.

Day 2 or year two.

Day 59 - April 2, 2018 - Did full swing work, but I'll put down that I played an 18-hole putting game and shot -4 to win by two.

Day 91

"Heavy Putter"  practice today. Still getting use to the feel of using a new putter, after retiring my several decade old,  Zone 1 putter. Just getting my body use to the new tool. 

I'm getting my strokes locked in for my 5', 10', and 20' putts.  I'm one of those who thinks distance control is of major importance in putting. I rank it higher than reading greens.

Day 8 - Mirror work at the gym. Focused on my new lesson specifics with pitch elbow staying bent to well past impact, or at least that feel.

[JuanTheGolfer]

DAY 133   Spent 4 hours on the range, working through LOTS of drills from my GGGA Workbook.  Working to improve backswing position at top and downswing sequence.
