Day 101 (7 Jun 23) - reverse step drill w/54* - set balls up about 5yds apart and hit to the same pin location in the backyard.  Max distance was about 25 yds, mostly to replicate nGIR up and down opportunities I tend to see most often.

Day 16, June 7th, 2023

Two range sessions today, one at lunch and one after lunch. Just 30 balls, taking my time. Not seeing much progress. I can’t feel what I need to feel when trying to blend it all together. Just sticking to segmenting things.

Day 219, June 7, 2023

Played 18 holes with @DrizZzY, then went back after some lessons to hit balls on the range. It's coming together, slowly.

Day 44 - Range session mainly focused on driver. Got a couple good feels right now, feeling like driver is just like a 3wood or iron swing, and super low tee height (entire ball is below crown of the club) have both helped straighten out the ball flight quite a bit.

Day 18:

Worked on backswing a bit focusing on getting depth by turning and not by sort of faking it with hands. Also hit 20 balls working on downswing sequence; hands down, turn, extend/jump feel.

Day 76: 6/7/23

Stack neural training after a long day of work.  Speed was a little slower but still finished at an e-speed of 110 with max intent. Leaving town for a few days and will be eager to test speed upon my return.

Day 6

Back onto the backswing, shape seems to be better but unable to hit the range to see output so 'theoretical improvement', still some inconsistency with back elbow angle but improvements.

Beginning to look at how to shift weight on downswing to ensure this isnt lost before contact.

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Day 102 (8 Jun 23) - played front nine at Minnesott w/a good friend.  One of those days where I was all over the place and never settled into a groove.  Worked on clubbing up and smoothing the tempo, much better in terms of approach shots.

Did a little slow-motion work between an early morning lesson and two long GEARS sessions. Perhaps the last in our old building!

Day 45 - Some wedge practice and a little bit of driver. Then spent a good bit of time on short game working on extra difficult shots, mainly high soft ones short sided, did pretty good overall

Day 4 - mirror work today. Worked on downswing feels for having my collarbone go down in the early part of the backswing.

Day 27. Range today. Worked on Tempo and backswing length trying to get longer. I seem to do better with a longer backswing. When I get short, I get squirrelly. Also worked on pitching technique.

Day 18, June 9th, 2023

Went to the range during lunch. Worked on trying to stop my backswing shorter, and in part keeping my right elbow less bent. Also, trying to feel the hands, and club come to a stop. Consistency is a bit of mess right now with this in where the hands and club end up at the top of the swing, and how short or long the swing gets. So, work to do.

Day 7

Further backswing work, checking elbow/wrist angles becoming a bit more comfortable. Planning an early morning walk to local range tomorrow so will record and see progress.
