Day 22: 3/17/2024

Not much time today. Either I caught a cold or my allergies kicked in and started hitting me like a two ton... heavy thing. 

So, Just a bit of mirror work with a seven iron today. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Let’s give this a shot

March 17/24 officially day 1 of posting although it’s well beyond that in actuality. 
 

spent about 10 mins hitting balls into a net, working on not adding loft at impact by getting the right wrist into extension through impact. Struggled a bit more today than previous days and felt like I was getting there earlier than I wanted.

 

then spent 10 minutes chipping. My problem is getting too handsy but I managed to get my body to pivoting a bit more for a much better outcome

Day 503, March 17, 2024

Fifteen minutes at the end of the penultimate JEP weekend (and a lesson) on the downswing stuff. Right wrist was a little tender (only a little) so I didn't want to go too long.

Day 23: 3/17/2024

Backswing without a club, with a piece of pvc, with a club across the collarbone and finally just with a club gripped normally. All in front of the mirrors. 
Then some putting through the 50 mm gates into the perfect putt along with the putting mirror and a string drill.

Day 95 (17 Mar 24) - Worked with the 54* wedge in the backyard, focused on engaging the bounce.  Had some solid short pitches - even a couple of dunks into the cup from about 22yds out.  That’s a neat sound the “rattle the flagstick” dunk…and to do it twice in just a few moments….sorry no vid, just a couple of pics after.

Day 24: 3/18/2024

This morning I hung out for a while in front of the mirror working on backswing without a club, with a piece of pvc, with a club across the collarbone and finally just with a club gripped normally. Later on, I did the mirror thing again and then tried to transfer the feels to the hitting net in the garage. 


Then some putting through the 50 mm gates into the perfect putt along with the putting mirror and a string drill. 

Lastly, I did my overspeed training.

Got to Golf Evolution a bit early for lessons, so… 20 minutes of downswing work. Went well. Oddly two of the lessons that followed were similar to my "piece."
