Day 21 (11 Feb 25) - Cold and misting rain type of day (not quite as bad as yesterday), so I managed about 20 mins with the 50° in the backyard working on wedge shots from 10 to 30 yds.  Focused on smooth contact and follow thru to achieve the targeted distance.

Day 6: 2/11/2025

Worked in front of the mirror for a bit at home. I also got to the range to do a bit of filming. So, yeah, I fixed a few things but then inevitably I bring some old issues back again. The upside is at least I know how to "fix" some of my older issues. 
Working hard on cleaning up the timing of my swing. It's not terrible right now, but no where near where I want it. 

I'm going to put the video in the MySwing thread as a data point for myself. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Day 206: worked on putting for a bit with the 2 cups drill. Tried some feels for getting my head to stop moving as much. Contact is better, which is progress.

Day 22 (12 Feb 25) - Short session with 7i into the net in the backyard.  Was not the best session - struggled in getting the face squared up.  Took a few steps back and did a reset.  Better contact second time around.

Day 7: 2/12/2025

Didn't have much time today. I had to use it wisely, so it was slow motion swings in front of the mirror. Really focusing on the timing issues I've been having and making fluid transitions with my weight.

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Day 5: 2/12/25

Day 23 (13 Feb 25) - The weather cleared out this afternoon and that meant getting out in the yard to enjoy some work with the longer irons into the net as well as the short irons chipping and short bump and runs.  Focused on getting the torso rotated through on the chips, much smoother contact when it happens.

Hit about fifteen balls on the full swing stuff. Wasn't feeling particularly "in" on that stuff today, so… hit about 50 chips. Forward first.
