Day 56: 2/19/2022

Didn't have a lot of time to do all I wanted to do today. 
So, I just spent 15 minutes doing my drills in front of the mirror. 
Fist the footwork thing. Then the get to this position thing. 

Looking forward to doing more tomorrow. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Day 46: Mirror work today. Still working on set up - it looks better and feels more natural, so that's progress. My knees are more bent and my hips are more over my heels.

Not allowed to back date, but I've practiced 3 days in a row now (having not played at all for about a year), so let's make today day 1.

45 mins at the range hitting 80% pitching wedges.  Was comparing two clubs to see which I liked best, and trying to keep a consistent shape (push draw), which I would say I managed most of the time.

I also did some 50 yard pitches, and then played a few holes on the virtual golf game.

Remember to start the post with “Day”. If you miss posting a practice day, no worries, just put in the correct day to start the post. When you hit 30 days, change it to red font.

Day 36:

Played 18 this morning. Shot an 87 and I was just awful off the tee, 6 penalty strokes (two +2 for lost ball/O.B., and two +1 for drops after hitting into red staked areas). I was also saved by very lucky bounces on two other tee shots, and had two barely better than cold tops as well, 8 awful tee shots in total. Approach shots were serviceable, and short game was okay. Didn't hole any of the makeable putts I had, but I did sink a 35 footer for par.

Got on Mevo+ in the afternoon and did some cathartic ball whacking with 7-iron.

Day 57: 2/20/2022

I hit balls for about a half hour in the garage today. Working on a couple of drills that I've been doing lately. One is the footwork thing and the other is the turn thing. 

Looking forward to maybe getting to an actual range tomorrow.

Day 3: Chipping from difficult lies - we have a par 3 with hefty slopes and thick rough going steeply down from the back of the green, and an over-ambitious shot that zooms off the back ends up here, and is very tough to recover from.  I dropped a load of balls on the slope and experimented with approaches, until I found one I felt I could work with.

    • Someone get Ted Scott on a plane!
    • I'll poke a dead horse here. I like chipping, always have. However, if its a relatively clean roll I'll putt. I choke down just a bit, in my head I'm taking a little flex out of the shaft seems to stay on line better because I usually need to give it some horsepower to get it rolling good. I had about a 20 yard or so chip in to save par the other night in league night. That was the end of my 4 hole even par stretch. All down hill after that. 
    • This is legit fantastic. Love these guys   https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTLgcoR9v/
    • This is a relevant topic, beyond the statistical nonsense. Generally, if I can use a putter and the grass is not long or uneven, I believe my results are better with the putter than another club.  Some of the green aprons, when dry, are virtually like a slightly slower green. There are other players who swear they get better results chipping from eerywhere other than the green. I suspect a short game guru has studied this and has a general recommendation.
