Day 57: range session. Took my Mevo out and worked on wedge distances. Then hit some drivers and a few 7 irons, just doing random practice.

Day 124 - Played 18 holes today and broke par for the first time this year shooting a -1 (71) even with a penalty stroke. 

15/18 GIR, 4 birdies on the back 9 (I think that's the most birdies I've made in 9 holes) and a 3 putt par on a par 5 on the front 9. 

Had a couple putts end up on the edge/lip out too, this easily could have been in the upper 60s without me striking it any differently.

New priority piece with irons and wedges is really really good. 

Third consecutive round gaining strokes putting vs scratch golfer so the new setup positioning is working.

Day 308, September 4, 2023

I practiced the last two days, but didn't post about it. Normally that would invalidate my streak, but I'm the site owner, so I'm giving myself an exemption. So there. 😉 I was coaching the college team and carried an 8I around and made some swings, both on the course and in the hotel room.

Today I played nine holes and then taught someone some chipping and pitching technique.

Day 78: Sep 5

Played 9 holes or so (was way to hot). Some decent golf, a couple of utterly awful shots which made me fall about laughing, then proceeded to scramble to make bogey. The general theme of “be more accurate” still applies, but the more I play the better that will get.

Worked on shots between "lessons" with my Behrend golfers today. So many good lessons, good work, and smiling golfers! Today was AWESOME!

Day 12:

Did a Stack session, and my eSpeed jumped up 6mph. I did it right after I got back from coaching my son's soccer team, so maybe 1.5 hours of light sports is a good warmup or something. We'll see if it sticks.

Afterward I hit some balls with 7-iron, working on torso rotation through the ball, and also a fast-slow-fast tempo for backswing-transition-downswing.

Day 79: Sep 6

Played 18 holes. Never really got my short game going - it was fine in places, just sloppy from time to time. Overall the round was decent, but I feel capable of better.
