Day 95: 03/07/2023

I wanted to get to the outdoor range today, but it wasn't in the cards. I had to settle for some mirror work, a few balls into the garage net and some additional putting bead work. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Day 96: 03/08/2023

Outdoor range today. Spent time on my priority pieces. Then hit driver for a half dozen balls. Then checked where I am with the rest of the bag. 

Spent the last half-hour or so working on wedges. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs.

Day 12 (9 Mar 23) - played solo round at Minnesott, first one out as the regulars did not want to start with temps in the high 40’s.  Hit some decent drives, approaches were under-clubbed but wedge work was decent for some good par saves.

Day 97: 03/09/2023

Got to the outdoor range again today. The weather was really great. So, I spent just a little bit of time working on my priority pieces and the rest of the time getting a feel for the shot shapes I'm likely to hit with each club. 

At the end I spent about 25 balls working on wedges anywhere from 30 to 110 yards, random targets. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Day 3 - Turning into a busier day than expected. Hit more short pitches with my 50* wedge and practiced low point control with my 27* hybrid. I'll be A/B ing the hybrid with my 11W next week, looking to determine if I can get a bit more carry, with sufficient stopping power to hold greens.

    • Day 41: Pitching/chipping into the net. A few full swings with driver hitting Almost Golf balls.
    • Day 568, May 23, 2024 Loooooooong day today. Got some shadow work done with an umbrella.
    • Day 148: 5/23/24 Hit balls on the range measuring ball speed for each club. Recently watched a fitting video where the fitter said he targeted 5 mph ball speed increase for each club.  Mine weren’t quite there. 4 and 5 mph were pretty similar except for 1 ball. Big jump for hybrid, bigger jump for 4-hybrid, and huge change for driver. Swung for the fences with driver and hit them all pretty straight at the end of my session. Several at 111 mph, which is above my normal speed. Finished with chipping release 1 with several clubs.  Good session!
    • Birdied 15 at my home course today and made a birdie the other day at a course I don’t usually play. Will update the spreadsheet once I’m home on my computer. 
    • Day 70. Played 9 at Grand Niagara. Very very windy day, but I hit the ball well for me. The wind did help me hit my longest drive ever at 282y and I did make a birdie on a par 5.
