Day 532, April 16, 2024

Played 18 holes at WW with @DrizZzY. It was productive, even if the first few holes (we really should warm up by at least making ONE swing πŸ˜„) weren't.

Day 104 - More putting work, focused on 7-8ft putts (as this is as long as my mat is). Used a foam ball because the family is asleep, which is actually nice because I have to treat it like a longer putt. I tend to lose control of the face on the longer putts, so this is a nice way to work on a longer putting stroke.

Day 15 - Still practicing chipping in the backyard, starting to show improvements. Been hitting off the rough grass in the backyard up until yesterday. Ordered a hitting mat and just started hitting off of it. I'll probably still mix it up. Improvements are: not blading the ball as often, starting to get a bit more accurate in both distance and direction. Still have a lot to learn. Also been trying to make it to the driving range about once a week to practice mostly driving, fairway woods and hybrids.

Here's a short vid:Β

Anyone remember pro evolution soccer? πŸ™‚

I did some technique work followed by speed training. My 145g speed was way up but the others were average and below my best. Technique work felt like I learned something. Still not all there but it feels like a breakthrough may soon come.Β

Day 105 - Tried some full swings, but still experiencing some oblique pain. Since I don’t have a tee time this weekend, another week of rest might be smart.Β 
Β 

Did some more putting, focused on the 7-8 foot range.Β
