Used Natalie's Edel wedge to hit some pitches and chips for about 20 minutes while she was eating and before we did some putting practice.

Going to give this a shot now that I'm using Evolvr again.

Day 1 - Dry swings and mirror work focusing on my priority piece. Putted indoors for 15 min too focusing on setting up a bit further from the ball.

Day 7. Went to a grass range today in hopes that it would be easier on my wrist. Seems okay after. Just worked on aim mostly through the bag. Did a bit of MP feel work between some swings, but mostly just did pre-shot, set up, hit. Also did medium pitches and chipping.

Day 59 (25 Apr 23) - Played 9holes as part of the monthly men's group outing.  Paired up with a father and son (he's 12) who are good friends.  Had a blast as we were in Captain's choice Texas Scramble format.  The best comment of the round was when the dad asked how my back was doing.  I was curious about the comment as he knew about my foot with the missing toes.  When I said its okay, he said, "Good, because you've been carrying us."  All I could think it was due to the level of confidence I have begun to have from the daily working the clubs.

Day 8: mirror work again. Same thing but building a little away from the drill swing into a real swing.

Day 36:

 I’m at the point where I’m overdoing my downswing feel exaggeration, so played around with some different things trying to find a middle ground.

Day 33 (4/25): Putting practice through gates and trying to reduce backswing length with tempo practice. Still a little long, but never hit the gate, which occasionally happens during these feedback drills.

Day 31: 25 Apr

Played 14 holes (we skipped 7-10 for time constraints). Short game was hit and miss; I need to spend some time recalibrating my distance control on part-wedge shots, or at least have a good practice session or two on them. Off the tee….couple of questionable shots but on the whole generally good. My pre-shot routine of a practice swing to get the right feel of correct swing path seems to help.

Day 2: went down and filmed my swing hitting some shots. Worked on the same things, trying not to get so laid off coming back, hips linear, not jumping the ball. Frustration level set in. I looked back five years and realized I’m either not getting it or am practicing the swing change wrong, as I see very little change. If any at all. I think I’ll put the clubs down for a week or so and regroup and go from there. Every now and again need a reset.
