Day 46: range night. Hit balls for about 40 minutes, working on my priority pieces in the backswing and early downswing. Focused more on the backswing stuff after filming and seeing it was sloppy. Then putted for about 45 minutes. Worked on putts within 10 feet mostly but mixed in some longer putts at the end.

Day 123 (02 Sep 24)  -  Grandson wanted to hit some into the net with the winner being the one who hit the target inside the net the most.  He beat me by one (wink, wink).  Then some around the yard stroke pkay using foam balls…he had his distance control happening, beat me two out of three holes.  After he and his dad left, I worked on “on course” shot rehearsals - from stepping behind the ball to “see the target” line, to getting feet parallel to the target line and making a solid swing thru the ball that culminates with the pop of the ball in the target.

Day 254: 9/2/24

ProSendr drills to stop my collapsing trail arm. Finished with chipping using the ball attached to the ProSendr and pressed into lead wrist. Good for chipping.

Day 4: 9/2/2024

Today I worked on my backswing and takeaway in front of the mirror. It's all slow motion stuff. 7-iron mostly. But I also did some no club stuff, club across the collarbone stuff, and even got the PVC Pipe involved.

Day 234 - Played a few rounds this weekend at some fun courses. My driver was solid, but iron play is costing me a lot of strokes.

Day 124 (03 Sep 24) -  Full swing drills today with the longer irons and hybrid…as this was the backyard, stayed with hard foam balls in a pretty stiff N-NE breeze.  Able to work on flighting the ball down into the wind and then working the ball with the wind to the target point.

[DaHolla]

Day 126 (05 Sep 24) - walked the front nine at home course with the “vintage set” (Toney Penna persimmon 1-3-5 woods, MacGregor Mike Souchak 4-9 irons along with. MacGregor Dbl Duty wedge, Spalding KroFlite SW, Spalding Tournament putter).  Played from my regular tees and managed a +7 43.  Key to the day was focused course management and remembering just how small the sweet spot is on all these clubs….love the challenge and dig the rewards of playing these clubs.
