Day 214, June 2, 2022

Made a bunch of swings in the back yard waiting for a student to go to a practice round for the US Junior Am.

Day 88.  Played 18 holes near me today, as a tune-up towards Sunday's match play round.  I shot an 82,   Highlights of the round are that I drove, approached, and putted better than the 15 handicap mark.  Did you see that I putted well?  I putted well!  I also made a great birdie on the par-5 11th with a great drive, a great 4-wood, and then got up and down from near the green.   While I made some sixes, I had no double bogeys until the last two holes, where I went double-double to shoot 82 😞  

I hit some really bad wedges from the fairway today too.

Day 138:

Hands felt good enough for full swings today. Did some FO recordings with LVP camera and compared to the "good" examples from my lesson video, and I'm doing okay on the ones I get right, but not enough of these...it's hard to discern much with the LVP low quality playbacks (think I am done with the device finally, it's a good concept but in reality falls short of what it intends to do). After the more intense practice I experimented with different feels and watched video playback to see which feels worked the best. Think I have one that will be serviceable going into my weekend round.

Day 590: Worked on post impact extension feel inside. It was raining out so no outdoor work.

Day 175 (03 Jun 22) - played 9 with son and grandson, was to be 18, but heavy t-storms in the area forced us to call it at the turn.  Got a rain check for the other 9.

Day 215, June 3, 2022

Played nine holes, didn't like the swing I recorded on the seventh hole, and then spent a little over an hour at the range working on the backswing stuff.

Day 218 - 9-hole league tonight; played much better than last week, shooting a 9-over 43.

Day 89.  Yesterday's round had several really bad wedge shots, so I gave each five minutes worth of practice.  The focus was just hitting them calmly.  These were all indoors, off a mat, into a net.  Full shots used foam balls, half shots used real ones (I am afraid of hitting the real ones over my net with a full swing, and I worry I'd make a bad swing to aim for thin... and for some of these yesterday, thin was the problem.  Well, super thin, blading over the green sort of thin in one case, thin over the green twice others, a few other forms of poor shots).  They were full swings (58, 54, PW) and half swings (54, PW).  

Side note, I found that great practice area near my parents where I can work on quarter shots with my wedges that also had a great putting green.  I need to find a place that has an area I can practice half shots into a green.

Day 591: Played 18 with my wife and friends at their club, Lake Winnipesaukee GC. Had fun. It’s at 1000 ft, so some shots went further than I expected.

Day 176 (04 Jun 22) - worked on chips in the backyard today to help on the up and down aspect of around the greens. Used the 9i as I can get some decent roll out. Used the flags in the backyard working on shots in the 20-25 yd range.  Key focus - weight fwd on lead foot to keep from hitting fat, and to allow solid swing thru and less opportunity for flipping the wrists.

Day 14

took a few minutes here and there through out the day to do some slow swings working on my shortening backswing feel. 

[Shindig]

Day 90.  I wanted to go to an outdoor range and actually see my ball flight (as if I didn't see it on 33 full shots on Thursday), but good luck getting onto a range around here on a Saturday afternoon when it's nice out.  Anyway, I managed to hit plenty of "range balls" at home (they're mostly Bridgestone e6s), focusing on having a clean swing in anticipation of tomorrow's tournament match.  I also got out onto a putting green and did a 4' drill (16, not great, not bad) and 6' (29, very not good).

I only hit 33 full shots on Thursday, not including pre-round range

Day 139:

Took the day off yesterday. Today did some rehearsals with LVP camera digital mirror while looking some still captures of my lesson video printed out and came up with some feels to try out hitting balls. Hit 25 balls, 15 7-iron and 10 4-iron and think I have a decent feel for tomorrow’s round.

day 89: played matchplay and won 4 up with 2 to go (on 9 holes).. we did finish playing the rest of the holes (out of competition) and I played well, had 5 pars total.. and that despite coming home past midnight and teeing up at 9:00am after being at a friends birthday party last evening.. I also played 18 holes on a different course yesterday and am looking forward to playing 18 on yet another one tomorrow

Day 592: Worked on my pieces after reviewing an Evolvr lesson. Made some progress.

Day 217, June 5, 2022

Did some work in the living room while watching the USWO. Busy day. I also hit… seven golf balls on the mat before lessons arrived this morning and we went to the back of the range. I'm going back to the backswing work.
