Day 64 - Range session focusing on driver start line and re-mapping my carry yardages throughout the bag.

Pretty good session overall, driver is really really good, probably the best it's ever been. Distance and direction are both great. Averaged 285yd carry tonight with range balls and peaked out at 303yds carry.

Day 8: 6/28/2023

Played 9 holes for Wednesday Night Golf League. Missed a 12 foot eagle putt.... then didn't make the birdie putt... seriously par from 12 feet away in two? Arggghhhh???? 😖

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Day 8 (28 Jun 23) - Chip and run drills in the backyard w/9i this evening. Worked from 5 yds up to 20yds.  Focused on easy swings thru, getting ball to hit short enough to roll to the hole.  Rattled the flag pole a number of times, getting where the shots are finishing within a good yard of the flag (of course yard grass is not greens grass).

Day 9: 6/29/2023:

Got out early and played a quick 18 in the haze.... Is the air quality bad? ... I don't know, but it doesn't look right. 

Played 18 anyway. 

I went 40, 43. A little disappointing, because I birdied number 10, so just 3 over standing on the 11th teebox.

Day 19: 6/29/23

Putting practice focusing on 3’-5’, with good results. Chipping practice with a variety of balls, which I don’t normally do. Titleist had a verbal ball fitting the last time I played. Gave me Pro V1 and. Tour Speed when he saw I played the Maxfli Tour X. The Tour X and Pro V1 felt pretty similar but the Tour Speed went much higher and rolled out more.

Yet more backswing drills, combined with transition into downswing. A good feel seems to be keeping my right shoulder behind me as long as possible. I think it’s all having a positive impact.

    • Okay, I'm genuinely curious about this "biodegradable leather" trend in golf. Are we talking snake oil here? I mean, golf balls, clubs... they all end up in the water eventually. Is this just greenwashing, or is there actually a real environmental benefit? And honestly, does it even perform as well as traditional leather? I don't want to sacrifice distance for the planet, you know? Anyone with real-world experience with these eco-friendly golf goods? Spill the tea!
