Recommended Posts

Day 1 (18 Jun 2023) - After a week away for a vacation (which included a really nice round of golf at a resort course in Punta Cana, DR) I am back to the drills.  Picked up the 7i and worked on setup and tempo, hitting some hard foam balls.  Good to be back in the practice routine.

Day 27, June 19th 2023

Went to the range and working on the same stuff. Using my PVC backswing checker to keep the backswing short as I work on hands down. 

I might have to video tape my swing soon because I am flushing the ball but hitting the ball to inside out, producing overdraws. Draws starting slightly right and going about 20 yards left.

Day 231, June 19, 2023

Played 18 holes in the morning. Started off not so great, then… really started to try to exaggerate the backswing twist move.

Day 56 - Proper practice session at the range, made a ton of good progress towards "changing the picture" in my priority piece(s).

Driver is getting quite a bit better, the push slices are becoming far less frequent as long as I start with the clubface actually pointed at my target and not significantly right of the target like I had been. (Shocking concept I know)

Did The Stack training this evening too.

Day 9: Jun 20

Played a round of golf, some good and some bad. Made sensible decisions to minimise the damage as much as possible. I have to trust what I’m doing, swing smoothly and not get into an “OMG, just smack the ball” destructive loop.

Day 28, June 20th, 2023

Range session working on backswing length and downswing stuff. Not seeing the overdraws today. Took some video. 

The swing is carrying on a tad too far. Probably need to return to right side extending/stretching in the backswing. 

My posture has into my heels too much, hips not over ankles enough. 

I could do the downswing stuff way better. Still looking for a consistent feel that gets this to work better.

Day 1: 06/20/2023

Okay, I'm back in. I've actually been working a lot on my game but I haven't been logging much of it here. So, today, I went with my son to the outdoor range. I worked on my priority pieces both with a 6 iron and the driver. Then, I spent about 30 balls trying to hit what ever target on the range my son picked out for me. It was actually pretty good practice and fun to do together. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.
