Day 49: 02/10/2022

Today was pretty nice weather so I went to the actual driving range on lunch. 
I spent a few balls working on my priority piece. 
Then I hit driver for about 20 balls or so. 

I had mixed results. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Day 37: Did some putting work today while on calls. Working on getting the handle a little higher, my elbows more bent, and my eyes more over the ball. Feels a little weird, which is good. Results could be better, but we'll keep working on it.

No balls today, just rehearsals of downswing move using LVP camera.

Day 111 - Beautiful day today so I was able to do some outdoor practice. I am working on shallowing my wedge swing and getting it more in to out. Toward that aim, I did a couple and drills which I found on an Andrew Rice video: The "impact drag" drill with an alignment rod and the "pitching draw" drill. For the latter drill, I hit Almostgolf balls off a low tee with my SW trying to draw them around and alignment rod set in the ground 10-feet in front of me. Hit about 12 shots and was able to hit a draw which started to the right of the rod and moved left. 

Also did Chet's putting drill....personal best of 11.5", which I will post later today on the thread.

Day 103, February 11, 2022

Did some work with the PSP 7-iron before my 9:00 lesson. Still searching a bit for a feel that marries the two parts of the downswing.

Day 27:

Finally got some extended time to play around with the Mevo+. Started off without the launch monitor, and just hit balls at slower speed working on transition move/feel.  Then fired up the Mevo+, and did some full swings to see what my 7-iron shot zone looks like. Initially I had the device skewed so it appeared that balls were launching further right than actual, but I realized this after about 10 balls and made a small correction to the Mevo+ orientation and the data was corrected. I have to say I am super impressed with the device, but need to spend some time learning the app.

Including using the camera to line up to your target? 🙂

Day 112 - Another beautiful day; hit wedge shots (using Almostgolf balls) in my yard to a 30-yard target. Focused on making a swing from the inside with a shallow AoA.

Day 104, February 12, 2022

Wife thought she broke her ankle so I drove home right after junior lessons, but I did some mirror work and slow-mo stuff while waiting on her hand and… foot.

    • Why?  You would never be waiting on me.  I am one of the fastest players you will ever run into on the golf course.  I am extremely fit and almost always the first to the green and the first to the next tee box.  When I play with my 16 year old step son who is a 3 handicap, he tells me to slow down.  Also,  what does it take me?  40 seconds round trip to walk off 30 yards?  (which is the max I walk off)  I like to have a look at the break around the hole which helps me to hole out chips which I did for birdie from 27 yards just the other day.  I also do this while waiting on my playing partners to catch up to me so you need not worry about being irritated, I can pretty much guarantee you that you could not keep up with me on the golf course.  🙂
