Day 19: Stack training and maintained 109 swing speed I hit in Sunday’s session. Β Felt great and thought I would surpass 110. PRGR speed device stopped working midway and it took a while to restart even with new batteries. Looking forward to Thursday!

Day 45 (11 Apr 23)Β - day trip to beach place, so today was 9i in the sand - wet hard pack or gentle fluff. Β Makes you realize why modern wedges have the soles they do as the 9i is an old Spalding Johnny Palmer Tournament iron.

Day 163, April 12, 2023

Did a good 30 minutes. I don't think I'm goingΒ to stick with my last lesson. It's too "passive" and I think you can "move" the club and "do" things that aren't just passive.

Day 20: I played today and am leaving for a golf trip tomorrow so I gotta play with what I brought. I thought the swing was pretty smooth today. Keeping the lead knee from bucking out was good. Hit some decent shots. We will see what the week brings us.Β

Day 46 (12 Β Apr 23)Β - played 18 at Minnesott with grandson today. Β Had some decent drives and approaches. Underclubbed myself too much.

Day 18: 12 Apr

Golf lesson followed by range time. Continuing to improve my club path; it’s still a bit too much out-to-in but it’s light years better than it was and the overall trend is good. Chatted through some swing thoughts - largely confirmed that im sometimes leaving the clubface way open at impact, but haven’t really got to the root cause of it. Range time spent practicing a lot of 3-wood and 4-hybrid, continuing to build confidence in myself and my golf swing.

Day 102: Went to the range on my lunch break. Worked on my drill, focusing on where the club is coming from during the 2nd half of the downswing. Pleased with how full swing shots are looking.

Day 21: Stack training session 11. All max intent. Set speed records in each of the first three but fell a little short in the fourth when we measured speed. Lost one yard down to 302. Feel like I still have a few more mph to attain.

Day 164, April 13, 2023

Hit about 30 ballsΒ actively moving the club in the direction that I'd like. I can do it a bit earlier than I thought previously, which is good.
