Day 37 - Nice enough earlier today to get outside, so I spent about 10 minutes doing Adam Young's "3 tee drill" with my driver, followed by hitting some bump and run shots with my 8 iron.

Day 56: 1/26/2023

Yesterday our annual sales meeting started early and turned into a late night. Anyway, I did nothing yesterday. I didn't feel the best this morning. But I did get in front of the mirror for at least 10 minutes this morning and again just now. Working my priority pieces on the backswing and also keeping my head and hips all pointing the right direction and not getting all out of whack. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Day 16/17: jan 26, 2023


Went to the course and worked on some drills then videoed myself for lessons.

After that I spent too much time chipping with a friend. It was social and competitive as we did 100 chips each with the goal to get up and down and we played for 10 cents an up and down. I won 60 cents.

Day 17/18 jan 27: short range session, spent my time recording how far my wedges flew for different swing lengths. Also remarked that I wishes i could hit every club as easily as a 1/2 50 degree wedge

Day 58, 1/28/2023

Went to the range after lunch with some friends. We had contests trying to hit closest to the pin on a number of targets. Mostly aimed at the 150 marker, the 200 marker and the 250 marker.

Day 18/19 jan 28: spent time practicing some 50-70 yard shots working at hitting various metal targets on the range. It was frustratingly difficult to hear those suckers clang.

      Would You Rather…?

      By WillieT ·

      First - glad to see these popping up again. Now to the topic at hand - I would rather be option 1.  If I know how far it's going (I mean a yard or two) I can always play to the wider parts of the fairway and/or the green and still do reasonably well.  Now if I could just really hit the "number" that well.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT ·

      Day 2 (10 Mar 25) - Long day of driving to dr appt with son.  Thankfully got in one of my fave putting drills (two ball side by side) - the goal to have both balls come off the putter face equally by having them come off the putter face as close to the same time as possible.  First few rolls - the toe was leading the way as that ball flew off the face.  By the end of the drill both balls were basically equal off the face, rolling to within a couple of inches of each other.  Nice drill of focusing on squaring the face.  BTW - I was using the old Odyssey DF992.

      Day 161 - 2025-03-10 Got a decent, long session in. Focused mostly on the backswing feels, and moved on toward the end of the four hours (not all hitting balls, I installed a motion sensing light switch in there too, and worked with a student over FaceTime for a bit) on the downswing feel.
