Day 36: 1/27/2022

Yesterday I got a bunch of work in. Today just some putting and my mirror work. 

If everything goes to plan I be hitting balls in the garage tomorrow. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Day 88, January 27, 2022

Hit 27 balls after a day of lessons. Took my time, probably about half an hour. Felt okay. Messed around with a few feels, very slow.

Day 36: 1/28/2022

Okay, I have big plans for today. I've already done mirror work. It wasn't my best. I felt like a hitch I've had at the top of my swing wanted to come back today. I had to slow way down and focus to NOT do it. I'm going to repeat the mirror work a couple more times today. What's the old saying? "If you want to be good, do it until you get it right. ... If you want to be great, do it until you can't get it wrong." 

I've also done the ladder drill today. As always chipping 6, 12 and 18 footers. I want to continue with this ladder drill until I can do it in my sleep. I figure if I can be confident in a 6, 12 or 18 foot chip, then be able to do that with maybe 3 different clubs. On the course that would give me a lot of options that I'd be confident in. 

I have a bunch of zoom calls today. So I plan to either do extra mirror work, practice putting or do the ladder drill again during the breaks between calls. 👍😁👍

I think I know what you're talking about there… 😄

Day 89, January 28, 2022

Mirror work of my own today with a PVC in my living room. Long day of computer work, though I may pop down to update the GEARS software later today. I'll hit more then, too, if so.

Day 54. 1/28/2022

day 1 of 30 day Covid-19 practice plan review setup and early backswing. Really like the last drill of this set, hitting ball from A2. This could be a nice go to shot when needed, even with a driver and it only goes 100 yards.

Under construction, signature and game.

Day 51 (28 Jan 22) - After the playing a round today with my, got in the backyard and continued the anti-chicken wing drill.  Drill came a little easier today - kept swings to around 1/4 swing with a slowed down tempo, focusing on where my arms were finishing.

Day 460: worked with the MEVO Plus in the basement to see if it could pick up chips. Seemed to work fine. I’ve got about 7 feet to the net and 8 feet from the MEVO to work with. I can’t take full swings, but it should help with short game work and punch shots.

Day 37: 1/29/2022

Just mirror work today. I found an old bad habit. So, I'm trying to get rid of it.... again...

Lots of slow motion stuff. 

Tomorrow or Monday at the latest I'll hit some balls while filming and see if it shows up.
