Day 250: Worked on putting for a while. Got out my mat and focused on short putts. Getting a feel where I'm not moving my head using both a mirror and a door jamb. Amazing what 30 minutes of doing this did. I was centering most of my putts, which is great.

Day 22: 3/17/2024

Not much time today. Either I caught a cold or my allergies kicked in and started hitting me like a two ton... heavy thing. 

So, Just a bit of mirror work with a seven iron today. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Day 80: 3/16/24

Stack Full Speed Spectrum training session 10/24.

Finished 2 mph below my top speed in session 6, and tied for my 3rd fastest of the 10 sessions. Not playing much but hope the training transfers to the course.

Let’s give this a shot

March 17/24 officially day 1 of posting although it’s well beyond that in actuality. 
 

spent about 10 mins hitting balls into a net, working on not adding loft at impact by getting the right wrist into extension through impact. Struggled a bit more today than previous days and felt like I was getting there earlier than I wanted.

 

then spent 10 minutes chipping. My problem is getting too handsy but I managed to get my body to pivoting a bit more for a much better outcome

Day 503, March 17, 2024

Fifteen minutes at the end of the penultimate JEP weekend (and a lesson) on the downswing stuff. Right wrist was a little tender (only a little) so I didn't want to go too long.

Day 23: 3/17/2024

Backswing without a club, with a piece of pvc, with a club across the collarbone and finally just with a club gripped normally. All in front of the mirrors. 
Then some putting through the 50 mm gates into the perfect putt along with the putting mirror and a string drill.

Day 95 (17 Mar 24) - Worked with the 54* wedge in the backyard, focused on engaging the bounce.  Had some solid short pitches - even a couple of dunks into the cup from about 22yds out.  That’s a neat sound the “rattle the flagstick” dunk…and to do it twice in just a few moments….sorry no vid, just a couple of pics after.

Day 24: 3/18/2024

This morning I hung out for a while in front of the mirror working on backswing without a club, with a piece of pvc, with a club across the collarbone and finally just with a club gripped normally. Later on, I did the mirror thing again and then tried to transfer the feels to the hitting net in the garage. 


Then some putting through the 50 mm gates into the perfect putt along with the putting mirror and a string drill. 

Lastly, I did my overspeed training. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs.

Day 504, March 18, 2024

Got to Golf Evolution a bit early for lessons, so… 20 minutes of downswing work. Went well. Oddly two of the lessons that followed were similar to my "piece."

couple mins of rolling putts end over end. 
 

10 mins of Slow, mirror work, working on starting the downswing and impact wrist positions. Hit a couple balls into the net after.

Day 96 (18 Mar 24) - Continued work with the Divot Board with the GW and hard foam balls.  Focused on small target/small miss…setup to hit target about 30yds out - success if it hit within 6’ circle of target, fail if outside.  Had decent success averaging about 3 out of 4 (hitting in groups of four).

      Padraig Harrington FIG Round

      By Ty_Webb ·

      I think that's the same sort of issue though. Changing your game plan because you're playing well is not, generally speaking, a good idea. Playing a game to get you used to having a good score will (hopefully) help you learn to handle that situation better. So maybe next time you're playing well, you'll keep doing what you were doing. When I was about 19-21, I would play many times and find myself about even through 11 or 12 holes. Then I'd fritter a few shots away due to silly mistakes and end up shooting 4 or 5 over for the round. I did that a LOT. Then one day I didn't do that - I was even or so through 11 and wound up shooting -2 for the round. After I did that, I did it a lot more. I was probably improving somewhat over that period because I was playing a lot, but my mindset definitely improved as a result of that one round. It was like mentally I bucketed myself as a mid-70s shooter, so that's what I shot. Then after that one round I could break that down and mentally became a high 60s to low 70s shooter (on my good days at least). That was quite a freeing feeling. I do wonder if I'd have got better faster if I'd heard of the ideas to play front tees or the FIG round that Padraig talks about here.

      2024 TST Outing - June 1/2 @ EagleSticks and Virtues

      On second thought, it’s 16.7. Lock it in, @StuM! 😜 I’ll send you my index when it gets closer.

      By billchao ·

      I’m sure others will play some rounds in between, too. I’m only joking about myself though. My index can only go down in the next five rounds. I’m expecting to play at least five rounds before this outing.

      2024 TST Outing - June 1/2 @ EagleSticks and Virtues

      By klineka ·

      Yeah I think it's probably best to set a date closer to the event and lock the handicaps.  Maybe like EOD on the 27th or 29th or something.  I know myself personally I'll play at least 3 rounds if not more between now and that weekend.
