Day 70. Played 9 at Grand Niagara. Very very windy day, but I hit the ball well for me. The wind did help me hit my longest drive ever at 282y and I did make a birdie on a par 5.

Day 148: 5/23/24

Hit balls on the range measuring ball speed for each club. Recently watched a fitting video where the fitter said he targeted 5 mph ball speed increase for each club.  Mine weren’t quite there. 4 and 5 mph were pretty similar except for 1 ball. Big jump for hybrid, bigger jump for 4-hybrid, and huge change for driver. Swung for the fences with driver and hit them all pretty straight at the end of my session. Several at 111 mph, which is above my normal speed.

Finished with chipping release 1 with several clubs.  Good session!

Shoot, forgot to post for day 20:  hit a couple of buckets at the range just focusing on form.  
 

Day 21:  putting practice in the garage gaging my speed/distance. 

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

Day 71. Worked on technique into the net for a while with a lot of slow rehearsals. Something about my indoor setup is in my head and I’m not swinging well. My takeaway and backswing are off and for some reason I’m opening the face. worked on getting that under control and things settle down from there.

Day 42:

Started with some block practice using 7-iron, but kind of lost my feel and stopped when I ricocheted a ball off the post of my net that went straight up into the air and splashed down into the city pool (empty) next door. Went inside and did a bunch of rehearsals using the patio door mirror seeing if I could find a new thought or feel for what I'm working on. Nothing seemed to click, so I ate dinner and then helped my son with his baseball swing drills. What he is working on gave me a little ah-ah moment, so afterward did some more rehearsals and think I came up with something that might work, but it's too dark to hit balls now.

Day 72. Spent a long time hitting balls into the net working on a left wrist bowed at impact. Playing around with grip, backswing, and feelings to get it there. My hands hurt 🙂
