Day 15, did some really slow swings to work on my PP. I felt yesterday that when speeding up, I regressed a little bit.

Day 60, December 30, 2022

Worked with a student on GEARS and his daughter earlier today, then got some work in while waiting for Natalie to show up so I could let her in and head out. Filmed a video, too, when I was done showing how luck plays a role in making even a 22' putt.

Day 31: 12/31/2022

Once again, I was at the indoor range early.
Started with my priority pieces. Then worked on some extra priority pieces ... kind of an old one that's come back again. 

I did the @iacas putting distance control drill from 15 feet into a 6 foot target area today. 
That took me a little while to get it. My score was like 20 something. 

Finished up with the ladder putting drill on the practice green. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Day 45 (31 Dec 22) - Received a challenge from the grandson to see who could hit a hole-in-one in the backyard.  We set up about 30 paces and emptied the shag bag on the ground.  He was hitting more of a chip while I was hitting pitches.  End result  - we both had a ball to finish about 4” from the hole literally side-by-side.  Was a fun way to practice around the green style shots while hanging with grandson for the last 5 min daily challenge of 2022….

Day 16 - Nice day today, so I did some block practice hitting chip and run shots with my 9-iron in the yard. Not much run, but I could work on the strike and see where the ball landed.

Day 32: 1/1/23

Went to the indoor range again today. Worked on mostly my priority pieces.

I also did a lot of chipping and some work on pitch shots. 

I didn't do any putting today. Tomorrow is probably going to have a lot of that.

Day 1 - Just spend 5 minutes working on gripping the club. Working on getting the club more the fingers of my left hand, as well as strengthening the right hand. Feels weird, and I need to keep cleaning this up.

Day 17 - Putting practice on my PuttOUT mat and trainer. Worked on speed of short putts (1' to 6') by stroking the putt at such a speed that it returns at least 12" but no more than 18".  First in order followed by random.

    • This statement doesn't make much sense to me.  So, I think the push and pull between a 3-wood meant for off the turf versus off the tee is how tall the face is on the 3-wood. I do not get how this mini driver would be good off the turf, or at least get the height needed to stop the ball as a normal 3-wood meant for off the ground. Maybe they care more about hitting the 3-wood off the tee versus off the turf. Nearly every strike would be low on the clubface relative to the CG location.  I would take that statement as more as marketing over what you would actually expect the club to perform.   
    • No, not that Minnie Driver. This one: It's a mini driver from Titleist, available for Tour validation/testing starting this week at Kapalua. It's available in righty and lefty and is only in 13° models for now. GT280 is a direct result of Titleist’s collaboration with PGA TOUR players on the development and testing of the TSR 2W prototype, which debuted on TOUR at last year’s PLAYERS Championship. With many players seeking an additional option at the top end of their setup, Titleist tour reps and R&D engineers worked with players such as Cameron Young and Will Zalatoris to dial in a 13-degree head that worked as a go-to club off the tee and off the deck. Now on Tour: New Titleist GT280 The arrival of the 2025 PGA TOUR season this week in Maui brings with it an addition to Titleist’s breakthrough line of GT metalwoods: the new Titleist GT280.
