All backswing work today. 
All of it in front of the mirror.

Day 114-Hit a bucket at the dome today. Used a bizzare grip and had good strikes but we'll try to make that happen a more conventional way going forward.

Day 510, March 24, 2024

Got 45 minutes of practice in after the last JEP and a lesson. It wasn't great, but it made me slow down just a little and feel like the "throw" carries deeper out to the front and through. Then I was doing well again.

Day 30: 3/24/2024

Got some nice mirror work in. Been working on getting a little pinch in my groin on the backswing. Creating a strong base and not letting my knees get all whacky. 

Also spent some time on the putting mat. Using gates and the mirror and the perfect putt. 
Tried putting with the Devil ball and I just can't seem to get into it. For me it feels like it takes forever to set that sucker up as it has to be aimed right at your target. If it isn't, it's kind of difficult for me to know if I made a poor stroke or if I simply didn't get the ball aiming at the target. Even using the little marker do-dad that comes with it, just seems like it's a challenge to get it lined up.

Day 10. Bit more time practicing today. Working on slow swings, which is really hard to do. Felt like it came together at the end though. shortening my swing with a swimmer/floatie and closing the face with wrist movement. My path improved when I went slow. Interspersed some chipping to break it up.

Low on energy and my swing feel yesterday actually slowed down my swing speed by about 5 mph. Finished with my 2nd slowest speed of the 14. Will try again Wednesday.
