Day 75: 2/14/2023

Today was only slow motion swings in the mirror for me. No live golf balls... well, except I did spend about 10 minutes on the office practice putting mat working on bead work. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Day 54. Started re-ripping my clubs with Pure DTX midsize and did a few drills inside to see how they felt. I didn’t build them up to GP MCC +4 on the bottom to match what I was playing. I hit the range with them and see how they feel stock with full swings. Also did Fit for Golf workout.

Day 107, February 15, 2023

Played nine holes after hitting balls for a little bit downtown. It was quite windy. I hit some good shots, some blah. I think the backswing stuff is good. Which is right on schedule.

Day 55 - Played 9-holes at East Greenwich CC today. First 3 were pretty rough, but then I hit some good shots. While I did not always execute on the shot, I also did not make any bad decisions. Needless to say, it is great to get a chance to play in February in NE.

Day 55. Filmed my swing today in my driveway for an Evolvr submission. On another note, I got braces today, the Invisalign type so there’s that.😬

Day 77: 2/16/2023

I was able to get a several different 5 minute putting sessions in on the office putting mat.
I did the mirror stuff, I did the putter gate stuff, I did the hit the ball through the gate stuff, I did Putt-Out perfect putt stuff, I even did the devil-ball stuff. 

On a side note, I'm not sure how much I'm getting out of the devil balls? Firstly they take forever to set up. Unless you can plop it down and then set up to the ball and just roll it in what ever direction the ball is pointing. Which is probably a better way to use it. What I do is I try to roll it toward a target and it takes me forever to get the damned thing pointed in the right direction. ... Maybe that's why it's called a devil ball? 

Anyway, I haven't given up on them yet. I promised myself I'd keep trying them and try to get some benefit from them.

Short day. Going to put in a good hour+ tomorrow, though.

Almost exclusively backswing. Last day.

    • Day 112 - Worked on pitching for a bit, letting the club fall while turning my body. 
    • Just want to share a quick update with everyone. I went to the range the week before last, even though I took it easy no significant pain occurred just a slight twinge when I swung my #4 hybrid. The most encouraging news was no soreness the next morning. However I think switching back to graphite shafts is definitely gonna happen, my mp15's were fitted with X shafts and having something lighter will help.  
    • Day 289: mirror work today. Working on the same downswing hip stuff. 
    • Here's something to chew on. Not much to it, but apparently the ideas being tossed around.  Greg Norman - LIV open-minded about moving to 72-hole format - ESPN LIV Golf CEO Greg Norman said he is open-minded about the idea of moving to a traditional 72-hole format, though he explained that the Saudi-backed circuit would need to evaluate the impact of adding an extra round to its...
