Day 55:

Did 20 balls each with chipping and pitching motions, focusing on solid contact.

Did another 20 balls full swing with 5-iron, working on feel/thought for priority piece.

Hit 5 Almost Golf balls with driver, same deal as 5-iron.

A bit of indoor putting around the office while cooking dinner.

Day 56:

Played 18. Too many poor tee shots to shoot a good score, but scrambled well and approach shots were decent when I was in good position.

Day 584, June 9, 2024

Worked after a pair of lessons today. Pick up/cup, throw. Feels open, feels like it releases.

Day 39 (9 Jun 24) - Got in some ultra tight lies pitches in today with the 54deg wedge - using the short grass practice mat hitting from about 20 yds.  Focus was on how “open” did my stance need to be to deliver the ball consistently online to the target point.  Found that about 11 o’clock (flag/target at noon) worked best.  Also having the ball positioned just off my trail foot big toe.  Also the swing - keeping it as quiet as possible.  All said a solid drill session.

Day 1 again, again:  Hit a few balls at home and at the range and played 9 holes.  Did slightly worse than last time but that’s to be expected since I haven’t hit in a few days. 

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

Day 155 - Worked on impact positions with slow swings, ramping up speed. Film some swings, and my weight still isn’t on my lead heel like I’m trying for.

Day 88. Two 10 minute sessions working on full swing technique into the net. Didn’t feel great. Not sure if I’m just off today or if it was because I’m learning to move slightly differently, which would be a good thing.

Day 156 - Full swings, no ball, just working on how my feet work. I feel like I’m falling backwards, away from the ball, when I get into my left heel during the downswing.
