Day 15 (25 Dec 21) - after the gifts (several books on golf) worked with the new trinket - an electronic putting cup.  Used it to work on keeping the head in place till it went in (and sprung back) from 3 thru 10 feet.  What I like about it, you miss the “hole lines” it will literally lip around.  Likewise if you are on target you get the pleasure of the ball kicking back to you.  After some time with it, went outside and worked on keeping the head centered while hitting pitches with the 50 and 58.

Day 3: 

Spent 5 minutes (12 balls) rolling straight 6 foot putts. Putting to a hole that is 2-3/16" in diameter. I made 6 out of 12.

Then spent 5 minutes in front of a mirror. Working on my priority pieces. (And my set up piece) No ball, just a 7 iron and 2 mirrors. One down the line and one face on. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Day 19 (misstated the Day # for yesterday , should’ve been day 18) (26 Dec 21) - worked on grip position today.  I tend to keep a weaker grip, so today was about strengthened grip.  Followed it with 3/4 swings with the 7i.  Using the hard foam balls to get good controlled flight.

Day 148:

Played 18 this morning. Started off with clear skies, beautiful day, but very cold. Shot 39 on the front 9. Then the rain started, and heavy stuff started around the 14th hole, soaking the greens and basically making it pointless to putt. Finished with a 43 on the back 9, but that was without putting on 14-18 (counted 2 putts per hole).

Day 4: 
A lot of mirror work. Again, 7 iron. 
Again mirror down the line and face on.

Trying to work on my priority piece as well as the timing of my shift. 

So far I feel like an orangutan performing brain surgery with a tuning fork. 

When it starts to feel at all better I'll start hitting balls with it. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs.

Day 5:
It's only 7AM and I've already done 5 minutes of mirror work. The plan is to get in some chipping and perhaps hit some balls down the range focusing on my priority piece.

Day 65 (12/27/21) - Took Christmas Day and the next day off due to family commitments; back at it today.

Worked on 3', 4' and 5' putts with my PuttOUT mat setup (now includes the mirror and gate) focusing on setup, ball position, line and speed. 

Merry Christmas!

Day 57, December 27, 2021

Gave some GEARS lessons for about six hours today. Worked on the backswing and transition for about 12 minutes afterward and before going to Five Guys, where a bacon cheeseburger now costs $11.89. Preposterous.

Day 149:

More rain, so continued indoor practice on hip priority piece and some grip work. Storms supposed to be moving on after today, and I think Mevo+ is arriving tomorrow, so really looking forward to some outdoor full swing work.

      A New Pace of Play Low

      That’s sad. I’ve played there many times. Never had that slow a round.

      Day 307: about a 1.75 hour practice session. Spent the first bit practicing all types of short game shots. Then went and worked on long game - finding a good feel for swings as well as checking alignment and aim. Need to feel like I’m slightly open for the right aim.

      Day 23 (23 May 25) - Played Friday scramble as usual - came away with some good thoughts on the green side of things.  It was a day where I was lacking confidence in the wedge game and played a number of them short, however I went back to some of my readings about playing to the “big” side of the green and saw much better long approaches.

      A New Pace of Play Low

      By billchao ·

      That is absolutely insane. I’ve never played a 6 hour round before. Once I played a round that took 3:00 for the front nine and I walked off. I was kind of salty about that at the time because the guy in the shop said if I wait 10 minutes to check in, I’d get twilight rates, but what he failed to mention were the three other groups lined up ahead of me doing the exact same thing. Totally not worth the $20 I saved. I played a course once that was kind of the opposite. Despite being built in the 90’s, the contours on the greens were ridiculous and they had to keep the greens fairly long to compensate. It was an awful experience.

      Asked a friend of mine how his Monday round was at Trull Brook GC.  He said it was awful… took 6 hours and 45 minutes.  He said they went inside to complain afterwards and the course didn’t care.  They told him “it’s bust, nothing we can do about it.”. Can u  imagine??  It’s a short well kept 18 hole course that does shave their greens down so it’s really not fun to play there.  The greens were built back before mowers could cut them that short .He said it was $100 to play as well.
