Day 56: 4/19/2024

Okay, even though I'll be teeing it up in a tournament in less than a week. I couldn't find time to get to the range today. 

I spent time on the indoor putting mat. 

And I spent time in front of the mirror with my 7 iron. Then again later with the driver. 

I also thoroughly cleaned all my clubs. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Day 536, April 20, 2024

Full swing work for a bit. Not my best today. Not as good as the outdoor session. Improved once I put some things down. I rely a bit too much indoors on the mats on letting you hit it fat, so I don't use the lower body to get forward the right way sometimes.

Day 128 (20 Apr 24) - Hit a driving range near where grandson was to play baseball today.  Spent time working thru the bag, staying consistent with pre-shot routine.  There were a number of visual targets (old bus, bass boat, airplane carcass, etc)…used the range finder to shoot accurate distances and focused on trying place my shots left, right, short and long.  Overall a good session through the bag.  Yes, made my grandson’s game with loads of time to spare.

Day 38. Got a good chunk of time in today. First technique work where I realized my path improves a lot when I relax and take the tension out of my shoulders. Then I have to remember to close the face. Both of these become more challenging when I’m physically tired. 
 

Followed that with Stack session. Finished my program and will post my progression once I’m done the follow up test in a couple of days. Will need to decide what program to do next - I like the shorter sessions especially during the season.

Day 10:

Played 18 at an away course. Managed to turn a round with 5 penalty strokes into an 83. Two birdies and a 39 on the back-9 helped. Had a couple useful observations that I’m going to explore in practice this week.

Day 129 (21 Apr 24) -  Soggy, rainy day in Eastern NC.  Had a planning meeting after church, but did manage to get some swings in with the MacGregor 9i in the backyard while it was only spitting rain.  Worked on easy pitches to about 20yds, picking target point focused on getting the ball close….
