Day 566, May 21, 2024

Six-iron swings in the back yard. Felt good. It's hot here, though.

Day 17:  Practiced with my pitching wedge today.  I haven’t been officially coached on it, but my son has tried to teach me (he’s very good with them) and I just cannot get a hang of his method.  I have a ridiculous move that works quite well for me but I probably shouldn’t get into any bad habits.  

I may not hit the ball far, but at least I find all of the pretty flowers.

day 68. Technique work into the net. Lots of rehearsal and slow swings with a ball trying to understand how to achieve a flat wrist at impact. 🤷‍♂️

Day 39:

Same thing as previous post, with a 5-iron for about 15 minutes. Feel pretty good about progress so far, so spent another 20+ minutes working on short game shots, which I have been really struggling with on course lately.

Day 137 - Upper back was tight today so I did some more pitching work. Really working on letting the club fall instead of forcing it.

Day 4 - Hot and windy. Hit some balls on the range to see what my trajectory was like, then a quick six holes. Some practice on the net later.

Day 69. Few mins working on standard putt length followed by impact technique practice. Got to what I think was a good place, took a 10 min break and came back but wasn’t able to repeat it.

Day 147: 5/22/24

Stack Training Full Speed Spectrum session 15/24. Hit my high speed for this program and tied my highest speed ever for a session. This is a speed I have hit 4 other times in the past year. Hotter temperatures have been good for me and speed has improved. On my last day in my fifties, I was happy with tonight’s performance.  Looking forward to Friday’s session.

Day 138 - Hit some balls at lunch in a bay with a Foresight monitor. Good to get the feedback hitting real balls instead of my usual foam balls, although it was a pretty frustrating session. My ball striking, as it has been on the course, was awful. I’d follow a great shot with a bad mishit. A lot of work to do.

      I've been really happy with my game dispite not playing a tonne this year.    My two biggest weaknesses have had turn arounds. Driving and chipping has got much better. Used to slice my driver terribly every time, but managed to not hit 1 bad slice today. Chipping has just started to turn around, only mishit one from a weird lie where I didn't commit to the shot. Of 8 rounds this year, two in the 80s, three below 95, and only one over 100 (with horrible greens).    Just got to work on trying to at least go to the range once or twice a week for some consistency. Hit I think 4 really bad miss hits, and was a little slow starting with 3 or 4 mini slice/hooks with irons on the first few holes. Still much more good than bad shots, but more practice should get that good swing happening more and more frequently.
