Day 8 - Practiced pitch shots with my 60* wedge, followed by the "3-tee" drill with my driver. Regarding the later, trying to focus on hitting the first (which I frequently miss) and second (long) tee while completely missing the third due to positive AoA.

Day 1:

Had a lesson yesterday and want to start up a practice routine again now that it is light after work, and winter is almost over. Normally practicing throughout winter in CA is no problem but this season was extraordinarily wet. Hopefully no more atmospheric rivers for awhile.

Setup work - shoulders too open, and also upper body too far forward at address. Worked on getting shoulders more closed, and feeling like I my torso is a bit behind the ball. Need to set up tripod to check this to not overdo it.

Swing path work - from the top, feel like hands are dropping down and behind me. Did multiple rehearsals of the move and then hit a ball. Did 15 balls at slower speed, and then 3 at full speed. Doesn't feel like a powerful transition move, which makes it hard to trust right now, but swing and ball speed are good when I do it well.

Day 136, March 16, 2023

Twenty mildly frustrating minutes. Not quite flushing it like roughly this time point the last time. Need to record something. Probably just not doing it extremely enough.

Day 2:

Worked on setup in patio door mirror, focusing on ball being around left ear. Attempted to hit a few balls later but it was too dark.

    • Day 45 (27 Dec 25) - played at one of the sisters courses to my home course.  Solid session through the bag….of the 7 pars, 4 were up and down 1 putts (wedges were dialed in) from 6’ or less.  Off the tee - solid, irons were consistent even it a bit under on distances.  Course management was on - stayed the course even with a few offline recovery shots required…
    • Day 453 - 2025-12-27 Two things today for about 48 balls (I like to hit three or six balls at a time before taking a small break to pick them up): Right leg stays flexed a bit, internal rotation on the backswing. Kept my eyes looking at the ball and trusted that the backswing was fine.
    • Day 137 12-27 Worked on wider backswing today and tried to remain flowy. Recorded face on and down the line. Swing is looking better but I mentally felt off today, just frustrated. Tomorrow's a new day!
    • Day 8 - 2025-12-27 45 minutes of short game work at local muni, mostly putting work. Trying to get lots of reps in with consistent quality tempo.
    • I guess I'll stay at -16 for this year's challenge.  I never birdied holes 7, 13 (the 2 hardest holes) in 2025.  Also had a couple Eagle putts on the par 5's, but didn't convert either time.  Looking forward to 2026, though!
