Practiced a bit while waiting to play Augusta National Georgia Golf Club. Light day. Hip much better. Stretching it helps.

Day 122 (14 Apr 24) - Masters Sunday - Took a few minutes to work with 9i and hard foam balls in backyard, focusing on ball position at setup.  More work to be done, progress in happening due to the consistency of the shot dispersion (circle tightening up - side to side and back to front) - given limited flight balls may not fly exactly like regular balls.

Day 531, April 15, 2024

Practiced hitting 8I to a pretty well-known hole here…

It reset to aiming at the flag every time, so I just started aiming myself to the left and hitting it that way. That's why the path says -5.6. It was probably a path of about -2° to my actual target line, maybe a little less.

8I was a bit much, though. I was gripping down a little in the end.

Day 51: 4/15/2024

Played 9 holes for the first day of golf league tonight. It wasn't that pretty. Driver was a bit wild early. Settled down later. Left putts not only short but really short for the first 7 holes. It was nice to actually play golf for the first time this year. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Day 5:

Did indoor backswing practice, trying to add some flow in as I’m sensing I’ve lost athletic feeling with current moves.
