Day 22

Working on restricting body rotation during back swing, trying to stay more level, found my body lifting up significantly so trying to stay more focused on control/shape

Day 4 (24 Jun 23) - Foot feeling better, decided to head out and play 18 (riding in a cart). Β Round was as a solo so I time to work on pre-shot process: grip, stance, weight, target zone where wanted to land and getting a good start line for shots without holding up others or feeling rushed.Β

Day 14: 6/24/23

Dr. Kwon rope training followed by Wright Balance training. Completed Stack Neural Training immediately afterwards. A little slower than last time with the 195 grams after plenty of yard work last night and today. Did set personal bests with the other weights so I remain positive about the session.

Took down the GEARS cameras today. Fortunately, was smart enough to practice for 10 minutesΒ before I did so, as I was quite dirty and a little sore afterward.

Day 5: 6/24/2023

The whole family went to the range today. I actually did spend about 5-10 minutes working on my priority piece. But then, it became a game of closest to the pin at targets my kids were picking out. We finished with "Can dad hit a drive over 270 carry?" ... Result, I couldn't. I got several 269's. and I had plenty were I had high enough swing speed. But none where I had enough swing speed and a good enough strike to get the smash factor up high enough to hit 270.Β 

I'm not sure everything we did was really good for my game, but the kids had a blast and they can't wait to go back to the range, so I took it as a win.Β 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs.Β 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.Β

Day 2: went after work to chip and putt. Just getting the feel back around the green. Was a good couple hours working on set up putting. I bent over a bit more to get eyes over the ball. I tend to have them to far inside. Overall was pretty solid.Β

Day 37. Worked on my priority piece again, but it was very humid so the session was short.

Day 14: Jun 25

Played 18 holes. Was shaping up to be a good round (-3 nett after 10) then blew up my card on 11. Still played some good golf coming home, but the damage was done. But plenty of positives to build on.

Lesson learned: if I don’t have a clear picture of the shot…I don’t have the shot. Especially for a seemingly β€œsafe” shot. What’s my goal? Where am I going to be playing the next shot from? If I don’t know that, I’m not ready.

Day 237, June 25, 2023

Worked inside today. It was hot and I didn't feel like going outside. Also, reviewed a few hours of YouTube videos I'd downloaded in the last few weeks.
