Day 5:

Backswing practice indoors today. Used patio door as a mirror. One thing that really helps me with width and depth is feeling like the left shoulder is what drives the turn while hands/arms are static. So today I sort of pre-set hand/wrist/arm, and then did shoulder turns from there to the top of the backswing.

Day 5- centered turn with forward weight shift.  Form isn’t perfect but hard to have great swing form with kettlebell.  Just working on a more centered turn and forward weight shift (not spinning around my body as I’ve noticed lately)

Day 4 - Heated range today. Worked on driver mostly to keep the impact on the mat to a minimum. Worked on my priority piece with slow swings. Caught myself a few times speeding up too much. But I did not do any full swings. Also, did some pitches to take a break between driver work. Maybe hit, 40 balls in an hour.

Day 17: 12/15/2022

Worked on my priority pieces in the garage today. Block work with a 7 iron. I did switch up the pieces no more than 5 balls and then move on to something else. 

I also did my overspeed training. So I got that going for me.

Day 1 - I decided that the end of the year was as good a time as any to start up again. Will be working on the basics (grip, stance, etc), slow swings and putting inside. Hoping to get to Trackman next week, then 2-3 times before the season starts up again in March.

Today did about 10 minutes of grip, stance and back swing positions, followed by about 10 minutes of 3' putts through a gate.

      Question About UK vs. U.S. Course Etiquette

      By RickK · Posted

      The term I hear most often is "double teeing" which means the course/club has starting times from both the #1 and #10 tee.  I have encountered this many times and we know if we are the first group off #10, we may well get to #1 and have to wait because there are groups still with tee times yet to tee of #1.  In most instances, where the course/club has a starter, he normally explains this situation.  In this case, the pro advised what you would could/would encounter making the turn to #1.  And, that is exactly what happened.  Probably would have been wise to talk to the pro after playing back 9 and ask when you could go off #1 since apparently that club does not double tee.   Regardless, the outburst towards the other group was uncalled for.  And, I don't blame the member for being upset.  As a member of a private club, you are responsible for the actions of your guest.  I have played many times as a guest in the UK and I am pretty damn sure my host was responsible for my actions while at the club.  I know at the clubs I have belonged to here in the US, that is the way it is.  As a matter of fact, the member may find himself being brought before management and facing possible suspension.  So, I don't blame him for being upset.  However, as the host, he really should have stepped up and put a stop to the OP's actions.  OP makes this statement "I now understand that standards are different on the "private course." But I'll take those lessons to the muni, too."  No, the standards are not different.  You, sir, seem to be just a bit hard headed and belligerent, even if you are college professor...which possibly explains a lot.   JMHO
