Day 5 (11 Feb 23) - Worked making full swings with the driver in the backyard.  Kept swings at about half speed as the focus was staying smooth thru completion of the swing and not chicken winging.

Waited for students to leave. 🙂 Made a good little ten-minute practice session. Feeling pretty good about the backswing.

Day 72: 2/11/2023

I was at the indoor range early this morning. I did blocked practice with a 6 iron. I filmed many of my shots as I worked on my priority pieces. Then I spent time hitting pitch shots to close targets (under 25 yards). Then I hit driver for a while, trying to incorporate my priority feels into the big stick. I finished by working on chipping for 20 minutes. 
 

Later I worked on bead work with the putter. Basically Day-15 of the COVID-19 practice challenge. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Day 73: 2/12/2023

Again, I got to the indoor range early this morning. Started with chipping. Worked on hitting targets for about 20 minutes. After that, I warmed up and took some video of my swing. Then I did blocked practice with a 6 iron, working on my priority pieces. Next it was pitching practice for about 15 minutes. Then I hit driver for about 10 balls. I finished with a half hour of putting practice. Of course as usual I started out with the putting mirror. Then I worked on bead work. Then speed work.

Day 51. Got a good 45 minutes in this morning working on my MP and speeding up. I can do it pretty consistently at slower speeds but sometimes revert when swinging full out. Worked with 6 iron and driver.

Day 74: 2/13/2023

I started today in the garage net working on my priority pieces. I did blocked practice with a random twist. I would do a block of shots focusing on a certain piece, but I'd switch back and forth between the 9 iron, the hybrid and the 5 wood. 

Later I went to the range and tried to recreate the feels I was getting in the net. Then I did some longer pitching work. Trying to hit targets between 30 and 125 yards out with various wedges.

Day 105, February 13, 2023

Got a good 45-ball session in today. Mostly still backswing, but made some downswings with what I'm going to do next and hit the ball. Going to play, plans are right now, tomorrow and Weds.
