Day 120 (13 Oct 22) - Played 18 with my son today at Minnesott.  Was a good round with consistent ball striking across the clubs.

Day 2: Hit balls in the garage into my net. I worked with a 7 iron on my priority pieces.

Day 4:

Worked on my setup adjustment using the patio door as a mirror. Still too fatigued from recent cold to have oomph to start The Stack speed training, and too dark to record swings.

Day 81 (10/13/22): Only had time for a very brief session today. It was hitting into the net. I started trying to just hit 3-9 o'clock shots, but was getting poor contact. So...I went back to preset drills, impact preset. Did about 30 of these and then slowly progressed to short swings.

Day 217.  Yesterday was the second miss in a 30 day window, but not the third, so I'm okay.

For today, I played 18 but really faltered at the end.  On par-5s today, I was four over, not very good.  Despite hitting only 2 GIR, I shot an 86.  I can't wait to figure out my SG values, but that has to wait for tomorrow.

Day 121 (14 Oct 22) - Busy day helping a good friend who recently lost her husband with the move to the new home they had purchased just before he passed.  Still got in some work on the setup process I have been doing of late.  Did experiment with ball placement - more forward, more back, in the middle.

Day 82 (10/14/22): About 15 minutes of short swings concentrating on impact position, followed by another 10 minutes of normal pitch and chip shots, just trying to groove swing length and contact. Followed this with a Stack system speed session.

Day 5:

Setup stuff and a few swings with almost golf balls.

Day 218.  I don't know why I decided today was the start of winter, but I did the first winter strength workout from Fit for Golf. 

[WillieT]

Day 122 (15 Oct 22) 3- 6 - 9 drills with putter today.   Worked on keeping tempo consistent only changing the length of swing.  Used the rug in the shop for the green as it rolls pretty quick.  

[Big Lex]

Day 83 (10/15/22): I just hit balls for 15 minutes working on the downswing feel to get the right impact position. I followed it up with 18 sim holes. I played Scioto at 6200 yards and shot 74. Was not getting the best contact but was avoiding trouble and I made the best of birdie opportunities.

Day 219.  Thursday's round I hit some short irons quite poorly, so I decided today would be short irons day.  I did my usual practice routine with the tilt drill, but with an 8-iron instead of the 6-iron.   The goal was the usual practice and being more comfortable with a short iron.  I think I achieved the first part at least.

Day 220.  This morning I did Fit for Golf's winter strength session two.

Day 123 (16 Oct 22) - Continued setup work today, wrapped up the drill with pitch shots with the 58 to set distances in the backyard.  

[Darkfrog]

Day 6:

Hit some balls with 7-iron and driver, working on setup, shoulder turn on backswing.

Day 84 (10/16/22): Last night's practice was on grip and set up, trying to fix this tendency I have to "drift" in my set up and grip. I seem to morph over time to having my hands too far in front of the ball at address, leading to a bad positioning of the shaft at the top of the swing. I worked on the address feel with different length clubs and different ball positions. I also played about 12 simulated holes, Royal Melbourne, on the sim. (Sorry again for a late post...fell asleep as soon as I hit the pillow.)

Day 124 (17 Oct 22) - Continued the setup routine drill, then hit several series of bump and run shots with the PW and 8i. Worked each series with ball 1 ball fwd of center, centered and 1 ball back from center - hitting the shots to set distances in the backyard.
