Day 13

Think this will be my last day of putting data. I know I planned to do more. But it became pretty apparent which putter/grip combo was best for me. And today was the best day. Made 84.67% (127/150). Brought my average for the 5 days of data up to 80.49%. 

Overall pretty pleased and feeling confident. Gonna get back into some more full swings in the coming days. League is starting up in another week.

Day 47.  Ran an errand this evening, and stopped to putt for 20 minutes at a nearby course.  I tried the 4' drill, but 10:00 and 5:00 just wouldn't fall.  I am going to put a slope measurer into the practice bag so next time, I can try to determine if this is even a pin position I might face.  That green slopes significantly, and I'm not sure they place their practice holes at places where a pin could be placed on a real green.  Something to find out, I guess. 

Anyway, I got home and also spent a few minutes hitting 6-iron punch shots and then some 58 degree chip shots (indoors, off a mat, into a net).

Day 98:

Did covid-19 day-5 drill, some with 9-iron (with midsize grip), and some with 8-iron (standard grip). Not sure which grip I like best yet, but also worked on making sure lead hand grip is weakened per my lesson.

Day 14: Persevered with putting in the wind, and did much better, with a calm mind, and lower expectation.

Day 14

Moved on from my putting quest and back into full swings. Had a bunch of home projects earlier in the day. So didn't spend a ton of time practicing. Still got in some low irons. Just working on tempo and rotation. 

May try to take the little guy to a par 3 course tomorrow.

Day 48.  Two separate practice sessions today.  Went to the good course near me for putting practice while out for errands.  My only drill while there was a 4' drill, around the clock, took 16 putts.  Nine fell on the first pass, two on the second, and 9:00 was stubborn.  

Later in the day, I practiced indoors at home, hitting punch shots with a 5-iron, full swings with 5 and 6 and PW, and quarter shots with the LW and PW.

    • I apologize on behalf of… idiot men. Sorry about that. Next time, tell the guy to shut up. 😛  Day 553, May 8, 2024 18 holes from the whites with @rwolfe. Windy AF today, but hit some good shots. Slid back a little from where I was the previous two days, but… I can get it back. Made a pretty nifty birdie on 12 from some pretty odd places. 😄 
    • The angles look fine. Get as much light as you can on the area — you want the highest shutter speed you can get. Less blur.
    • Snap @ Tour Spoon! Birdied 11 yesterday. Hit a poor iron ,stopped on edge of bunker , pitch with my lob wedge landed about 6’ away and went in. Only 12 & 14 to go, long par5’s into the prevailing wind. Might be waiting a while although I did have about 15’ on 12 after the birdie on 11, didn’t miss by much.
    • Tested the Maxfli TourS yesterday. Compared to my former ball, the Titleist AVX, I got an extra 10 yards off the driver and half a club (5-7 yards) off the irons. The combined extra yardage from the driver and fairway wood meant that on par-5s where I usually hit an 8-iron third shot, I hit a PW. It's just a smidgen softer than the AVX and seems to spin well. Some of the reviews indicated a low ball flight, but I did not notice it. I also did not observe any problems with the paint quality, which was an issue with previous Maxfli models up to and including the U series.  My previous round I tested the Bridgestone E6, a two-piece ball with a different cover. It was OK; the same distance and feel as the AVX but with less spin. 
    • Sad tale.  Both the A's and Raiders.  IMO, cities shouldn't be building stadiums for MLB/NFL teams.  But that's the world we live in.   DAY 3:  30-min range session with irons and wedges.  Working on follow thru -- no hooks! 🙂
