Day 115:

Continued work on backswing priority piece, indoors with LVP camera. Feeling a little out of sorts swing-wise. Not sure if it is the weather/darkness that has resulted in less practice, or I am just hitting a wall. Lesson tomorrow, so I'll have some things to work on soon.

Day 24 - November 24, 2021

Headed on a road trip to visit with the kiddo here in a bit, so I got some putting done in the basement while procrastinating packing up the car.

Day 34 (11/24/21) - Worked on my putting stroke using the 2 x 4 drill (from "Instinct Putting"; the goal is to not brush 2 x 4s set an inch wider than my putter head); spent about 10 minutes making strokes between the 2 x 4s with no ball, while imagining a metronome set at 80 bpm, then stroked putts through the 2 x 4s focusing at a spot in front of the ball.

Day 393: worked with the MEVO Plus today and new RCT balls. Having trouble setting up the unit at the right height and level because nothing on my property is remotely level.😜

Day 153 (24 Nov 21) - day before Thanksgiving golf outing.  Had to wait for the course to get warm enough to play as we had a good frost last night.  Allowed for some extra time to hit a few on the range.  Used that time to work on getting a full shoulder turn, weight forward and keeping the head down through the swing.

Day 116:

Lesson today. Started with some minor backswing adjustments that I got pretty comfortable with during the lesson but I’ll work on getting used to, and then new priority piece for transition.

Day 35 (11/25/21) - While I was smoking the Cornish Game Hen, I practiced chipping with a hybrid per Monte Scheinblum's "Use the Bounce" videos. It's basically the same as mvmac "chitch/pip" method with an iron.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

How about…

Also…

Day 25 - November 25, 2021

Just squeezed in some practice time with a pencil working on some wrist condition stuff on the backswing. Then switched to a plastic knife for the lack of symmetry (i.e. a "clubface" exists on the knife but not the pencil).

Day 155 (26 Nov 21) - Got in the backyard w/8i and Birdie Balls.  First couple of series, seeing pushes right.  Decided to work on closing the stance  and squaring the club face to the target path to get a more right to left flight. Kept the swings to 1/2 to 3/4.  Last few series (groups of 3) had the ball moving in the desired flight path.

Day 118:

Rehearsed backswing indoors up to start of transition to work on new cupped wrist feel. Made some chippy 9-3 swings with 8-iron working on eyeline during transition and going from cupped to flexed lead wrist.

Day 395: Windy and cold today. Did Fit for Golf mobility and workout sessions. Also worked on backswing and feel of falling onto my left side during transition. Did these mostly without a club but did do a few with an 8 iron. No swings though.
