Day 60: 2/23/2022 

I got some nice work in on my priority piece. 

I snuck in a chipping ladder too.

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Day 115, February 23, 2022

Had enough time today to just get a little bit of work in. Had a lovely evening too (not). Ugh.

Day 50: Putted today while on some conference calls. Trying to get my eyes a little more over the ball and the handle more upright at address.

Day 39:

Went out to eat for my wife’s birthday, so no time for any significant practice. Did backswing rehearsals and a little setup/grip practice indoors.

Day 6: More putting practice this morning, then 9 holes this afternoon.  Putting was good!  Short game ok.  Full swing - not so great.

Day 61: 2/24/2022

Had to leave really early this morning to get out to a customer for a meeting. Threw the 8 iron and driver in the trunk of the car as I knew I'd pass a driving range on the way back. Hit balls with both driver and 8 iron. Working on my priority pieces. First the footwork thing, then the turn thing, rinse and repeat.

Day 39:

Did mostly backswing rehearsals while hitting chippy shots with 7-iron. I sense that I have overexaggerated a feel to the point of getting myself in a bad spot, and then needing to compensate.

Day 77 (24 Feb 22) - worked on keeping centered today using the plastic goal post my grandson has.  Allows to set up to where I can place my head on the upright, and come through on the swing.  Coupled this with the anti-chicken wing drill to reinforce the needed shift in the hips.  Making slow but steady progress.

Day 497: Played with the MEVO Plus and chipping in the basement. Worked really well once if figured out that I wasn’t using the RCT balls.

Day 7: Continued with 4,8,12 putting drills.  Have slightly adjusted my grip after watching the Edel claw video (I've used claw grip from day one, but I experimented with the height and angle of top hand) - slightly more consistent direction, it seems.  Weather much warmer today and finally the wind has dropped.  Hopefully it'll be nice tomorrow and I'll get some short game practice in.  Maybe 9 holes too.

    • When I lived in Oregon my friend had a rule. It could only be 2 of the following 3 items for us to play. If all 3 we’d skip.    1. Windy (20+) 2. Rainy (needs to be steady, rain in Oregon is pretty common) 3. Cold (less than a high of 50) This was a pretty solid rule.    
    • Day 74: Worked on priority piece, full swing for about an hour this evening after dinner. Really need to exaggerate “hitting to right field feel” more than I think to produce slight push draw ball flight. 
    • Day 170 - Got some good work in on the short game, as well as more work on my priority piece. 
    • I searched around but didn’t see any other threads on this so I’ll put it here. I work in the laser industry and one of the applications has been additive manufacturing. The main market for the past 10 years has been SpaceX and the space industry and some medical applications. The new one I saw this week is 3D printing irons. Cobra and the company that they are using is marketing these irons pretty aggressively.  In talking with the folks in the booth at the trade show, the claim is that they can gain strength but reduce the weight to put it exactly where they want. The print of the iron is very cool. Mostly everything behind the face is a thin metal lattice and then in the heal and toe is a block of tungsten for weight.  I am old enough to remember the arguments about forged versus cast irons. I wonder if folks here will pay a bit more to get 3D printed irons.  They have a booth here where you can hit them but I hate lines and the line to do it is always long. I go again tomorrow, and if the line isn’t too long I’ll give it a try and report back.    Here are some pictures (I had some trouble uploading, I’ll try later)
