Long day. Got to Golf Evolution pretty early and did some work there. Left for home around 6:00.

Day 260 (19 Jan 25) - Woke to misty rain and was thinking that I would be limited to inside work today.  Late afternoon break in the weather (mild temps and a few rays of sunshine) led to a 15 mins or so of hitting the 58deg wedge around the backyard at 10-20yds.  Simple drill goal - "don't get flippy" but rather rotate smoothly through.  This was key as I tend to want to help higher lofted wedges 58/60 - today was solidly on the smoother side of execution.

Day 111 - 2025-01-19

Got to GE particularly early today, before Junior Elite, and hit some balls before that. My left thumb was sore like it was about a month ago, which was odd. It feels better now as I type this up nearly 12 hours later, but it was sore last night and still this morning.

Day 40: 1/20/2025

I forgot to post yesterday. Today I got some work in on lunch. Basically I turned the garage heater on and worked on some stuff Yoda sent me, while I hit balls into the net. Occasionally I went back in front of the mirror, just to kind of check what it all looked like.

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Day 187: freezing cold and a tad unmotivated, but got in some mirror work. Working on backswing stuff. Tried out a few new things that I think might improve my mirror work.

Day 41, 1/21/2025

It was very cold today... Go figure. So no range time for me. 
I'm sure I got at least 10 minutes in though as I had the 7 iron and the mirror right outside my office. So every time I walked in or out of my office I got some slow motion swings done in front of a mirror. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Day 20 - 40 minutes of short game work. 20 minutes putting: distance control ladder drill, 10' putting game. More bump and run work with 7 iron, some challenging lie chipping with 58 deg.

    • I will most likely buy the TSR1 klineka mentioned, though they didn't respond when I asked the seller if they had the +6 weight. They only said the weight was the standard 9g. I contacted a couple of local pro shops, one said they would call Titleist on Tuesday (as Monday is a holiday) for me to order a +6 weight, but the one said Titleist wouldn't have it anymore since it's an older model. Anyway, I will probably buy an aftermarket weight from eBay. Any concerns around aftermarket weight on eBay? They are not cheap, like around $15.
    • I am a big fan of the Hack it Out podcast and love the Saturday Stats with Lou Stagner. Really interesting hearing about Lou’s Gears work with Erik and Golf Evolution. Really interested in the next podcast where they will discuss the learnings!
