Day 17, November 17, 2022

Worked downtown after lessons, partly because I was putting off getting home and throwing snow (which unfortunately was too literal today, as it was so wet the snow thrower had a hard time of it, so I did a lot manually), and partly because I knew I wouldn't be back today.

Day 2 (17 Nov 22) - Played the back nine at Minnesott today with a good friend who’s recovering from a neck injury that has left his little and ring fingers in his lead hand numb (the strongest club he can comfortably hit is his 5i).  We discussed how we are working through injuries (my foot, his hand/neck) and how blessed we are to be able to play.

My daughter's birthday, and a BIG day of watching videos about torques and forces. 🙂 While watching some of them, I worked on the backswing and transition.

Day 4:

Played 18 this morning. Little bit Jekyll & Hyde with the new downswing feel, but I feel like there is some good stuff, especially when I get the backswing part right.

Day 5 (20 Nov 22) - dreary outside so opted to work on putting inside focused on tempo.  Goal was to get the ball to just trickle into the cup, quite a few rolled about 2” short and 4’ back.

day 15 - played 9 holes in "below freezing" temperatures..  made a birdie on 4 and managed to improve my handicap a little. I don't know why they kept the course open and on summer-greens despite the ground having been frozen. Putting was a nightmare and I am sure playing in such conditions did more harm to the course than most other days combined.

Day 20, November 20, 2022

I was going to go down early to work before today's JEP, but my snowblower impeller belt was weak or stretched or something, so I spent some time shoveling before giving up and leaving because I had to leave. Then after, I had to go pick up the belt, and replace it, and throw some snow.

So… today, I just did mirror work in my patio doors while watching the Steelers suck.

Day 5:

Played a quick 9 before work this morning. Downswing piece was pretty good, but needs a lot more work at slow speeds. Moved quick enough to also play holes 10-13 before heading home, but mostly goofed around on these holes.
