Day 65: 03/01/2022

I got a lot in today. I did a bunch of putting first thing in the AM. I did day 15 of the Covid-19 practice plan. Easily my favorite putting drills. Only I added the putting mirror into it. Then I did about a dozen putts hitting one from the mirror and then hitting the next one without the mirror trying to get through the 2 inch gate, 25 inches away. It's like the ball is playing Operation, The Whacky Doctor's Game.... "Don't touch the sides". 

I was able to work on my priority piece today. It's becoming pretty natural for me. Which means either I'm getting better at it, or I'm doing it wrong. I really need to grab some video as soon as I can. As I was looking back through the notes from my last lesson I noticed that I haven't been doing what I'm going to call the "drainage tile drill". So, I'm going to try to find a way to start adding that in tomorrow. 

Lastly, I did the chipping ladder at my usual 6', 12' and 18 foot distances, 4 balls each distance with each club. Today I remembered to include the gap wedge with the 54 and the 60. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Day 45:

Was onsite for work today and things got busy unexpectedly, so I was at work much later than expected, and still had more work to do when I got home, which kind of derailed my practice plans for today.

So just did the same rehearsal work as yesterday, really trying to make the conscious thought of backswing and falling back into lead side unconscious.

Day 55: Did some mirror work today. Checking set up - feel pretty happy with where my hips are and how bent my knees are. Also worked a bit on my right knee in the backswing - trying not to get it turned out so much.

Day 502: went back to the feel of flattening the shaft and swinging down from the top with higher hands at A4. The video shows this to be working better for me. I’ll post something in My Swing thread. I also noticed the if my backswing gets too flat with the driver, I swing more out from the top.

Day 83 (02 Mar 22) - played 18 today from the tips (approx 6450 yds). Goal was to see just how different the course played.  Overall, not really that much different.  Course management was the call for the day….based on how it went, I would give myself a C+ as the round was a continued struggle.  Not because of distance, but rather so-so putting, weak approaches.

Day 122, March 2, 2022

Played on the sim with some juniors. Used Freaking Tall Ryan's clubs, but… it was good. Hit it pretty solid for not having warmed up, etc.

Day 66: 3/2/2022

Didn't get to do all I wanted to do today. Only did mirror work on my priority pieces. 

I also went back through a lot of old video of my swing. I can see a lot of changes. .... It's still Chet's swing, but it's a slightly better version of Chet's swing.

Day 66: 3/3/2022

Didn't get to do all I wanted to do today. I did work on putting for about 20 minutes while I was waiting in my office for a Zoom Call to start. I added the putting mirror to Day 15 of the 30 Day Covid-19 training plan. I ended up repeating the drills a lot because the meeting started late. 

Then I got to do my ladder drill with GW, the 54 and the 60, at 6', 12' and 18 foot chips. I did this while I was waiting for my lunch to cook in the Ninja Foodi. 

I hope to do full swing work tomorrow
