Day 544, April 29, 2024

Drove home from North Carolina, repaired a broken PVC ball pusher, and hit some balls. It wasn't great to start (sitting for nearly 10 hours isn't great for making athletic motions), but it got pretty good pretty fast.

Day 137 (29 Apr 24) - Played 18 today with son and good friend (he joined for the back nine) at Minnesott.  Shot a personal best today of 79! (39 front/40 back) Finally broke 80, so I can check that milestone off the list.  Overall play was amazingly consistent - 11 of 18 greens hit in regulation (a personal best), putting was off a little as I had two holes that were sloppy 3 putts but over came them with 3 one putts for a total of 35.  Approach game was on as never before - just seemed to see where I wanted the ball to go and there it went.  A good day of golf.

Day 19:

Lesson first thing this morning. I have a minor setup thing to work on, and then a new priority piece for hips. Really liked the way my hips and legs were working doing drills and slow swings in the lesson.  Got home from work, made dinner for family, and then attempted some practice of the new stuff, but being tired from work and a bit stiff from engaging different muscles in the golf lesson, it was a bit of a struggle so I stopped and will resume tomorrow evening after work.

    • First - glad to see these popping up again. Now to the topic at hand - I would rather be option 1.  If I know how far it's going (I mean a yard or two) I can always play to the wider parts of the fairway and/or the green and still do reasonably well.  Now if I could just really hit the "number" that well. 
    • Day 2 (10 Mar 25) - Long day of driving to dr appt with son.  Thankfully got in one of my fave putting drills (two ball side by side) - the goal to have both balls come off the putter face equally by having them come off the putter face as close to the same time as possible.  First few rolls - the toe was leading the way as that ball flew off the face.  By the end of the drill both balls were basically equal off the face, rolling to within a couple of inches of each other.  Nice drill of focusing on squaring the face.  BTW - I was using the old Odyssey DF992. 
    • Day 161 - 2025-03-10 Got a decent, long session in. Focused mostly on the backswing feels, and moved on toward the end of the four hours (not all hitting balls, I installed a motion sensing light switch in there too, and worked with a student over FaceTime for a bit) on the downswing feel.
    • Day 31: 3/10/25 Backswing drills with the ProSendr. Reinforcing iron play from yesterday.
    • I wrote up a response as a YouTube comment that I won't be posting on YouTube. What an absolute load of garbage. Your arm doesn't "slingshot" or "bounce" - you use the muscles in your arm to move your arm and throw the baseball. In one video you've managed to get roughly five areas of science almost completely backward. At best, your video sets up a straw man as nobody is telling golfers to do anything like what you show when you're demonstrating a "bad tennis player." The golfers you see on your lesson tee must be from a completely different world than almost anyone else on Earth, because most golfers do something more like what you prefer to teach - their arms are too passive for too long, they stay "up" too long, and are carried out toward the ball from the top. From there, they stall their pivot, often early extending while right tilting to TRY to not swing 15° left. You know… we have ways of measuring these things these days, but you're still stuck with a poor understanding of how the golf swing works and are peddling it to some unsuspecting and unfortunate souls. But, I know… you teach "athletes." I hope for your sake that's just code for "dumb" because anyone with even a room temperature IQ understands that there's nothing truly "effortless" about the golf swing.
