Day 11: 5 Apr

Played 18 holes at home course. Was a struggle - weather didn’t help, but never really got into a groove. Yet, when I added it up at the end I still played somewhere near handicap, helped by my short game. Trust my golf swing, especially off the tee, and I’ll do ok.

More drills planned for later: keep working the feel post-impact to help fix my early release.

Day 17: 4/5/2023

I only had time for ten minutes of mirror work today. 7 iron and slow motion on my priority piece. I also took a hard look at my posture and my set up. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Day 15: went down and took some swings today. Did not like want I saw from my hips on video. Seemed I was getting my trail hip a bit to deep. Coming at the target a bit. Old habits die hard.  Will have to take a couple steps back and rehearse slower swings.

Day 19:

Did some practice focusing on steady head, which for me at transition actually feels like I am trying to look at the back of the ball.

Day 94: did the yardstick putting drill for a while. Focusing on weight back in my heels with my butt sticking out a bit more. Drill went well with that adjustment.

That's funny because my head tends to go the opposite direction. I have to think of "not looking" at the back of the ball. 🤷‍♂️

Day 12: 6 Apr

Large bucket of range balls, working on reducing/fixing my early release and some practice with new 4 hybrid and 3 wood to try and get better consistency (driver is very much a work in progress!). The two clubs are getting there, just need to practice and practice some more! Used the trackman at the range to play 9 holes at PGA National (off sensible tees) and was -4 nett. Obviously not the same a real-life, but continues to boost my confidence.

Day 40 (6 Apr 23) - Worked on driver swing - practiced swinging thru a pair of tee pegs. Then hit a few hard foam balls with pegs in place.  Wrapped up the session working with 50-54-58 wedges off the portable mat (replicating tight lies) to pin distances (10 - 20 - 30 yds).

More 7 iron mirror work today. Set up, hip movement, head still. Then race out to the garage net and try to replicate that feeling when hitting a ball... Also with a 7 iron.
