Day 4

Still working on backswing trying to limit the bend in my elbow/wrist. Found when controlling my elbow more (capped to 90) my wrist was over extending which means far more correction on down swing and more twist.

Breaking it into stages and just holding form to get a proper feel for positioning.

Day 15, June 6th, 2023

Went to the range at lunch. 

Shorter backswings, hands down to A6, and hit chip shots from A6. Then try to make swings to blend it all together.

Day 100 (6 Jun 23) - thought I posted yesterday, oh well don’t see it.  Counts a the day “off”.  Today, back to full speed swing focused on tempo using 3w.  Ended the session dropping back to the 6i and hitting hard foam balls.  Still having issues with the left foot (skin breakdown), so I kept the session to about 20mins total in the drills.

Day 2 - went to the range and did some random practice. Primarily working on driver, but also hit some irons. Driver is a bit of an enigma right now, but everything else was solid.

Bit if a niggle in my right side after over practising backswing yesterday so giving it the day to ease. A switch to putting and trying to control pace.

Day 1: 6/7/2023

Okay, I had to take a couple of days off. Pinched a nerve in my upper-glute/lower-back area. (That was a pain in the butt.... See what I did there?🤪

Yesterday, the nerve let go and I'm right as rain today. So, I did some chipping and putting at the course at which my children were participating in golf camp today. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Day 16, June 7th, 2023

Two range sessions today, one at lunch and one after lunch. Just 30 balls, taking my time. Not seeing much progress. I can’t feel what I need to feel when trying to blend it all together. Just sticking to segmenting things.
