Day 8:

Played 18, main thing was to go through consistent pre-shot routine. I also need to work on getting out of "swing practice" mode and into "play golf" mode on the course.

Day 13 (28 Nov 22) - Worked on club impact with ground (actually the carpet in the shop).  Focused on striking the carpet post ball position.  Setup was near the edge of the rug so I could see club either going out to in or in to out.  Went well until I took the handlebar off the grandkid's old Lightnin' McQueen motorized scooter (oops).

Day 14 (29 Nov 22) - Worked on hitting ball first then ground by using two tees (ball on one, the other to mark where the ground impact target zone).  Did the drill while working through the club groups (wedge, short & long irons, metal woods) while hitting hard foam balls.  I recently repainted the balls so I had good reference on where I was striking the ball.

day 0: Spent time swinging cack-handed, and then switched to normal grip focused on keeping the right arm in front of me.

      When Greens Turn Grey: From Passion to Burnout?

      By NZ Golfer ·

      I found being part of a Great Golf Club renewed my love for the game and comps ..previously at my other club I was just a player with novice player mates or solo .and that was hard to progress and drive the passion when my job was very restrictive to playing in good weather and friends couldn't play as much...  that become a grind at times and gave up the game for couple years..but now work for myself and have clear goals and new GC with serious players ongoing comps and great course I can pretty much always get on .. some great Golfing friends I made playing in the weekly comps ..I'm loving it..  Still get down on my game and can walk off gutted ..but thats the game we wouldn't love the good round if we never had bad rounds So for me maybe dropping the pressure of the HC grind and more so enjoy playing comps with others serious on the game ...understand the game is hard ,enjoy the good times and your game will develop ...
