Day 169:

Did some full swing work with Mevo+, using 7-iron and 4-iron. I'm happy with where my launch angles are right now, and I will verify on GC4 next lesson. Didn't count these as shot zone mapping since I was also working on some mechanical changes at the same time, but I wasn't unhappy with dispersion - just a few pulls/bad left misses, but main miss is a push with a bit of slice.

Day 250 - Busy day with stuff around the house today. Did swings with my Orange Whip Wedge to work on tempo for finesse and distance wedge shots; more work with finesse shots from the rough. I think that I have a technique down which will work well, now need to take it to the practice green.Β

Day 17: 7/7/2022

Spent time at the range today working on my priority pieces. I didn't hit anything really well and started "hunting". That made things worse.

Not a great practice session today. I'll try to do better tomorrow.Β

Day 123.Β  Played 18 today.Β  Didn't play particularly well, at least according to the scorecard.Β  It felt like I had longer clubs into the greens than I usually do, but I missed a ton left/right, indicating that I selected clubs well, hit them well, and just that's where they fell in my shot zone.Β Β

Day 24 (08 Jul 22) - rained at the beach last night, nice compacted sand. Β Took the old 9i to hit sand shots off compacted as well as fluffed sand. Β  As it was crowded, the shots were limited to greenside bunker style up and downs. Β One of my fave beach sand drills as it focuses on how much sand I need to grab based on the softness of the sand. Β
