Day 149, March 29, 2023

Had a long day - lessons, club fitting in Buffalo - so I hit some putts and made some practice swings in the glass patio door reflections while watching the ANWA.

Day 13:

Did same 5SK drill as yesterday (flat wrist), with almost golf balls. Only got in about 10 minutes due to rain.

Day 9: Today was about 45 minutes of swinging. Going from just drill swings to over exaggerating rehearsals and then full swings. I think at times I need to just take an athletic swing and let the body move as it’s been rehearsing. 
 

worked on set up and alignment today as well. More or less just checking things off. Today was a good day….


Day 5: 30 Mar

Repeat of yesterday - plenty of takeaway drills to try and make a deep turn part of my normal game. Added ~20mins of indoor putting practice to finish.

Day 11: 3/30/2023

I went to the outdoor range today and it was closed to reseed the teeing areas. ... Bummer... 😢

So, instead I worked on my priority pieces both in the garage and in front of the mirror. 
I also did some mirror and gate putting on the office putting mat using the Perfect Putt Target. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Hit the new MP-33s. 7I, PW, and 2I. Hit them pretty well, to be honest.

Day 13:

Did more flat wrist drill, 15 balls. Then did the towel drill for low point practice, 15 more balls. Doing these drills that deconstruct the swing a bit usually help me recover when I am struggling with swing.

Then hit some almost golf balls with driver in the dark.

Day 3. Played my first round of the year with my wife, a local 9 hole course. Had some sketchy shots early on including a shank on my first iron shot (Thanks @Vinsk!). I did par a few holes and had a nice 4 iron on a par three into the wind.

Day 89: Played 9 holes is some windy conditions (30 mph, gusting into the 50s). I was playing it as a 4-5 club wind into it, 2 club wind with it. Actually very pleased with how I played, even though I was +6. Nearly holed out from 90 yards for a 2, played the wind perfectly a few times, and generally good contact.

Day 10: Hurt my back at the gym. But did putting drills. Coin to coin again. Have to get use to letting “gravity” work for me. 


Day 34 (31 Mar 23) - Played 18 today at Minnesott.  Was able to get out ahead of the Friday scramble, able to work on multiple shots into the green as I was staying about 3 holes ahead of the next closest group.  Was like being on the range but the scenery was always changing.

Got some work in after lessons. Mostly full swing, but just a little putting, too.
