Practiced putting for about 30 minutes.

Day 49: played 18 holes. Managed a decent round of 80 with only hitting 7 GIR. Pleased with that.

Day 66 (26 Aug 23) - Sat morning chip and pitch session w/PW and 54 in the backyard, before a long day of moving stuff for the missus.  Focus as always on setup (grip, stance, etc), today was more dialed on sensing the weight in the lead foot and creating a smooth flow through the ball.  Has been a long journey but to be able to put the majority of my weight on that left foot is light years from where it was when I started this journey.

Day 116 - Rolled a few putts indoors when I got home. Have some really good feels with putter right now and it's showing on the course.

purring yardtis k drill inside.

Day 69: Aug 27

Continued to work on clubpath & forward lean with lots of 1/2 and 3/4 7-iron shots into a net. Felt like I was rotating the club through impact when generating speed (which felt like a new sensation, but not completely unfamiliar either). Something to explore with coach next time I see him. 
 

Broke up the session with some short game practice; both chip shots and short pitch shots. Lots of experimenting with different ball positions.

Day 4:

Played 18 this morning, 10 strokes better than last Sunday. Was bad off the tee all round, but made up for that with decent approach play and sharp short game.

Day 300, August 27, 2023

Was downtown for three hours after a birthday lunch. Didn't practice that whole time, but practiced for a little over half of it. Starting to get comfortable (just what @saevel25 wants to hear… starting, ha ha). Anyway, starting to add a little more of the "flow" back in, as that can make up for a lot of other things being a little funny.

Haven't hit a driver in awhile… so that'll be interesting. 😉

Day 117 -  Just some mirror work for the forearm piece, going to get back to proper practice session hitting balls tomorrow 

[DeadMan]

Day 50: Played 18 holes and did a stack session. 

[WillieT]

Day 67 (27 Aug 23) - Mirror work, focused on takeaway to top of swing, getting weight onto lead foot earlier.  

[MrLeek]

Day 70: Aug 28

Played 9 holes followed by some clubpath practice.

Day 118 -  Back at the range today. Filmed for Evolvr and figured out my weird pull draw/low hook shot that showed up at Harbour Town. I was simply standing too close to the ball with my woods. Gave myself a bit more room and instantly the ball flight was back to normal, pretty neutral flight and normal height.

Day 68 (28 Aug 23) - Had a decent rain shower come thru, able to get outside after the rain to work on pitches in wet grass.  Used the 54, weight on lead foot and focused on keeping the swing smooth, not flippy.

Day 19, August 28th, 2023. 

Played 36 holes with @iacas. First 18, two man best ball. Second 18, alternate shot. It was a fun golf outing. 🙂

Day 301, August 28, 2023

Played 72 holes with @saevel25. What? It was only 36? Well… it felt like 72. 😉

Day 5:

Noticed my backswing was a lot more arm/hand movement instead of a good shoulder turn, so did some work on that to start. Then continued my drop/turn feel downswing work, however the feel has morphed into a drop hands / slide hips . Even though "slide" implies a straight motion, a "slide" feel actually syncs my rotation better than a "turn" feel.

Decided to sign up for Fit-for-golf and give it a try. Since I stopped bicycle commuting I don't get enough exercise for how much I like to eat (even though I walk 4-5 miles daily). I like the idea of having something more specific for golf motion, but that will have broader benefits as well. I'll start that tomorrow.
