Day 42: Jul 27

Staying with the theme of trying to create a consistently neutral clubpath: spent an hour or so hitting 1/2 & 2/3 power shots into a net, focusing on clubpath.

Day 91 - Chipped, putted, hit some balls.

Hand path and posture are becoming more normal. I really like the ball flight and contact with irons right now.

Need to clean up 50-100yd wedge shots, everything is going so much further now so struggling to adjust in the 50-100 range.

Day 43: Jul 28

Played 18 holes at regular course. Really good round (new PB I think) with lots of positives to take away. Also lots of things to work on: trust my rhythm off the tee (don’t force it); commit to the shot; improve long-distance putting. But it’s reinforcing the belief that I’m getting the hang of this silly game 😆

Day 21, July 28th, 2023

Went to the range to work on the driver. Same stuff with irons.  This needs morevwork. Backswing length and feeling hands getting to my right hip more.

Day 270, July 28, 2023

Hit balls in the heat at GE3.0. Set up two mirrors and sweated through it. Same stuff:

  • Curl the right wrist.
  • Hands go out at 45° (feel).
  • Throw the back of the clubhead down behind my right foot.

Day 11: range night. Random practice with 40 balls, focused more on longer clubs. Everything is very solid. Then putted for about 40 minutes, focusing on 3-9 footers with some long lag putting mixed in.

Range session, working on the driver. Lots of slow swings, pausing at A5, and hitting from a better position.

Day 271, July 29, 2023

90 minutes downtown. Hit probably 75 golf balls. Mostly worked on the "out and curl" part. Didn't worry a ton about the downswing.

Day 39 (29 Jul 23) - Got in an afternoon round with son and grandson at Harbour Pointe.  Was a round where it was a struggle from tee to green, however only lost ball was a wayward tee shot on hole two.  Found plenty of fairway bunkers to work from as well.

Day 44: Jul 29

Played in the monthly medal. Was -5 nett over 15 holes. Shame the game is played over 18 holes!!! 😆 Lots of lessons learnt: DO NOT lose my rhythm on the tee; consider all my options when in trouble, including taking an unplayable penalty. The point of that “in trouble” shot is to ensure I’m not in trouble on the subsequent shot. So think it through!

    • Finally completed the challenge! took me a long time to get hole number 4, which is a short par 4 that gently curves about 60 yards left starting at about 200 yards out and then the fairway necks down to the green. I have sometimes taken a 3W off the tee because I can push my drive and it then would enter a wooded area about 230 yards out. I pulled driver and blasted a push into the woods and it rattled around and ended up in the fairway about 60 yards from a back center pin. Spun a 58* wedge to about 2 feet:  There was a little break to it and the greens were recently aerated making a short putt a little more difficult.
    • Yes I’m still gaming the Edel.  I’ll have to see where I’m striking it on the face. I’m assuming if it’s low on the face my ball position is creeping too far forward?
    • You might even get more money for the trade in if the trade in is the old head and new shaft rather than old head and old shaft. I certainly can't imagine they'd offer less for it.
    • Wordle 1,188 5/6 ⬜🟩⬜⬜🟨 ⬜🟩🟩⬜⬜ ⬜🟩🟩⬜⬜ ⬜🟩🟩🟩⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
    • I'd compare the trade in value vs what similar ones have sold for recently, there's a pretty high chance you can sell it yourself for more than the trade in value plus you'd get to keep the shaft you like.
