Day 37: May 1

A short practice session in a practice net (30 shots or so) working on developing & maintaining the correct club path. This was followed by a longer short game practice session, working on ball striking and distance control of 1/4 and 1/2 wedge shots (both GW and SW). After a slightly shaky start, ended up with some tight dispersions; recent play has been plagued by inaccurate pitch shots so good to see the consistency coming through.

Edit: just read my faux pas about bulk posting. Won’t happen again @iacas 🫣

Day 65 (01 May 23) - Worked on impact today with 6i, alignment rods and hard foam balls.  Set up to have one rod perpendicular to swing path lying on the ground about 6 - 8" behind the ball (to promote ball first contact) and second one set on angle towards me to act as centering point (keeping head still).  Kept swings to around 1/2 to 3/4.

Day 62 (02 May 23) - walked the front nine at Minnesott, as I was solo did a two ball better ball format.  Used the round to work on swing tempo using phrase “1  - 2 then follow on thru” to keep it consistent.  The work on tempo helped slow down my rushing thru the swing.

Day 14. Shoulder feels better but I only did about 20 minutes of chipping, pitching and slower swings with a 9 iron indoors. I want it to heal before Erie.

Day 38: May 2

Played 18 holes and set a new PB, despite recording an eight(!!) on the 1st! Put the hole out of my head (I just laughed it off), knuckled down and played a good chunk of golf. Some bad shots here and there but minimised the damage and moved on.

Day 11 - Rained most of the day so I stuck to slow motion swings with my 7i indoors.

Day 183, May 2, 2023

Spent five or ten minutes hitting a few balls with the same feels that I had in 2020, but which also re-committed to here:

  • Cup the hell out of the left wrist going back.
  • Let fall/throw (a combo of both) the club "behind" me with the right arm.

The ball goes left if I don't do the first thing well.

Day 40: Chipping and putting practice followed by slow motion swings with a wedge. Ingraining proper backswing length with irons, and initiating downswing with weight shift.

Day 9 - Short range session working on Evolvr feedback, then more dry reps at home and rolled some putts at home. 

Ballstriking was really really good at the range, although I liked what I saw on video in the dry swings at home better than what I saw on video at the range.

Day 67 (03 May 23) - More work with the impact drill of using an alignment rod perpendicular to the swing path about 6" behind the ball to reinforce hitting the ball first.  Used the 6i and hard foam balls.  Definitely audible when I get to too steep and the click of the club nicking the rod resounds.

    • Yeah I know. It sucks to have an idea then have thorough explanations to why one disagrees with it. It’s much more fun to just have people agree and say, ‘ Great Scott my boy! You’ve really uncovered something here!’ 😀
    • Wow it's really awesome to see how many courses you all have played. I am jealous! I've only played 7 courses.
    • Broke my record today and it felt great. Front nine I was 8 over, then on back nine I was only 4 over until the 18th hole. I think I let it get to my head as it was an easy par 3 and I ended up sending the ball into the lake and got my first triple bogey of the day haha. Typical. Nonetheless I can't complain, mostly pars and bogeys all day. Ended with an 83. 
    • Or just check Craigslist for someone selling found balls. There's your best budget.
    • I responded exactly as you did: I said “it simply is” in response but I’m the one who is “always right?” And I’ve engaged and humored you through several posts now. At the end of the day I think what you’re saying has little value. I disagree with your opinion on this. But you want to feel personally attacked, I guess, so have at it. We can all read. 😀
