Day 84: 2/24/2023

I got lots of putting practice in today. I did the gate drills and numerous putt-out drills. I didn't use the devil ball today. 

I also got to hit balls first thing this morning in the garage net. Everything felt pretty good, which means I'd better get some video to see if or how much I've reverted. I'll try and do that tomorrow morning. In the meantime, I got in front of the mirror for slow motion swings for about 5 or 10 minutes today, trying to get a feel for what the swing I'm trying to do feels like. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Day 55: Mirror work, playing around with the new downswing drill I’m working on. Looks like it’s something I can do, as long as I’m doing it fairly slowly.

Day 1 (25 Feb 23) - (Missed posting yesterday and had not hit the full month since restarting, so it’s time to begin again.)  Today was more short “greenside style” pitches, staying in bump and run mode using the 9i.  Working with ball position in stance.

Total 60 balls with 7 iron; last 20 were speed and no thinking.

40 balls with 8 iron, same, speed and no thinking.

20 balls 5 iron, same, speed and no thinking.

18 balls after a fairly long day. Hit a few (three?) at medium speed without stopping. Really getting back to some old good feels.

Day 2 (26 Feb 23) - Picked back up with choked down bump and run shots in the backyard that had to fly under the limbs of the tulip tree (read - had to keep shots 5ft at the apex at about 30 yards - and the tree is about halfway the distance).  Too high and it rattles the limbs, too low and it stops way short.  Having those upper and lower controls really forced focus on swing speed and ball position.

Day 86: 2/26/2023

Went to the indoor range early today. Filmed my swing to see where it was in terms of the stuff I've been working on. I was actually pretty pleased. Looks like I'm making progress. So, after filming my swing I did my work on my priority pieces and then worked on chipping for 15 minutes. Hit driver a half dozen times. Then worked on pitch shots for about 20 minutes. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.
