Day 12, June 3rd 2023

Spent about an hour working on the short game. Tried to get a bit more wrist hinge, and feeling the hands/arms drop/fall as the clubhead lags. Starting to get the club to consistently glide under the ball with no divot. More out of the center strikes instead of off the toe.

Day 23. Worked on tempo and center face contact with 7 iron and driver in a howling wind in my driveway. Trying to eliminate toe hits which cause hooks. I’m really slowing down the backswing near the top to keep my focus on the ball. It also helps with my priority piece of swinging down and back with my hand path.

Practiced prior to the round. Good warmup session with upper core swing.

Day 215, June 3, 2023

Hit a bunch of 8I during a playing lesson. One of the kids shot his best-ever nine-hole score, and did it at Whispering Woods on the back nine, no less!

Day 98 (3 Jun 23) - easy swings with a couple of wedges, hitting foam balls into the pool for the grandson to catch.

Day 40 - Hit balls and then some indoor putting. Irons are pretty solid, new setup feels really good and ball flight is repeatable and predictable.

Driver is still a mess, not repeatable or predictable right now. Setup changes are going to take more practice to get right. It's such a small change but feels like I'm learning how to swing driver all over again. (I guess I am in reality)

Going to do a proper practice session tomorrow filming slow swings with a lot of rehearsals with driver.

Day 5: 6/3/2023

Worked on my priority piece with a 7 iron in the mirror. Than ran to the garage and hit balls into the net focusing on the priority piece.

Day 15:

Same as yesterday, but also did short game practice, and hit some almost golf balls with driver.

Day 2: Time at the range

First opportunity to try and swing and hit a ball at range - woefully bad. Varied through Driver/3wood/5wood/6-8-9iron. As expected alot of whiffs and slices.

Longest hit was around 175 with the Driver from the tee, got a 130 with the 3wood from the floor. Cleanest hit by far was a 9iron to around 125y dead center.

Lots to focus on before I head back down next week, mainly maintaining shape through the swing and avoiding addition wrist movement that was causing a few slices, didnt hook much but only had 50balls this week

Day 16:

Played 18 this morning. Terrible night of sleep plus 530am tee time would have been a struggle even if I had been sharp, but I wasn't. Actually scored okay considering (85), but too many horrendous misses to do much better than I did.

Day 24. Worked on tempo with a 9 iron indoors as it was a rainy day.

Day 13, June 4th 2023

Hit about 40 balls working on backswing length and hands down. I could feel the bad backswing creep in. Which good thing I can start to feel that more.

Day 41 - Solid practice session mainly focusing on priority piece with driver. Filmed some swings for evolvr and practiced slowly.

Did some short putting too, getting quite confident with my old putter, made 6 straight putts from 6ft to the mini cups on the green, something I hadn't come close to doing with my other putter.

Day 99 (4 Jun 23) - Sunday round w/son and grandson.  Tempo work is paying off with the drives and approach game.  

[Clemsonfan]

Day 73: 6/4/23

Backswing practice t o promote full extension and width instead of narrowing my arms. Trying to promote consistency.

[IceMike]

Day 3

Following some great feedback on my awful swing technique this will he my focus. Managed my setup/approach and that is feeling more natural, focusing on shoulder twist whilst keeping hips flat as this doesnt feel comfortable (partly due to a back issue). 

Spent time working through the backswing in stages.

Day 25. Worked on my left leg feel and feet at the gym.
