Day 8 - Practiced pitch shots with my 60* wedge, followed by the "3-tee" drill with my driver. Regarding the later, trying to focus on hitting the first (which I frequently miss) and second (long) tee while completely missing the third due to positive AoA.

Day 73: Mirror work today. Working on my feels from my drill; I think it's getting close to the time to incorporate them into my swing.

Day 1:

Had a lesson yesterday and want to start up a practice routine again now that it is light after work, and winter is almost over. Normally practicing throughout winter in CA is no problem but this season was extraordinarily wet. Hopefully no more atmospheric rivers for awhile.

Setup work - shoulders too open, and also upper body too far forward at address. Worked on getting shoulders more closed, and feeling like I my torso is a bit behind the ball. Need to set up tripod to check this to not overdo it.

Swing path work - from the top, feel like hands are dropping down and behind me. Did multiple rehearsals of the move and then hit a ball. Did 15 balls at slower speed, and then 3 at full speed. Doesn't feel like a powerful transition move, which makes it hard to trust right now, but swing and ball speed are good when I do it well.

Day 136, March 16, 2023

Twenty mildly frustrating minutes. Not quite flushing it like roughly this time point the last time. Need to record something. Probably just not doing it extremely enough.

Day 2:

Worked on setup in patio door mirror, focusing on ball being around left ear. Attempted to hit a few balls later but it was too dark.
