Day 166 - Thought I'd be playing 9 holes today, but that didn't work out. Hit some balls throughout the day, still focusing on getting my weight more in left heel as I come into impact.

Day 13: Early morning putting practice in the garage 

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

Day 596, June 21, 2024

18 holes at Whispering Woods with @DrizZzY. I'm now -5 the last five times I've played #15. Today I had a 5I in and put it hole high. 😛 Sheesh!

No movement on any of the needed birdie holes. Lots of tap-in pars after opportunities.

Day 1. Took a couple days off for the hip. Worked on setup, backswing and transition at the gym. Hopefully I’m close to being able to swing.

Day 99. Played 18. Didn’t spray the ball everywhere and played to my handicap. Happy with results overall because golf is hard.

Day 50 (21 Jun 24) - No pounding balls in the backyard or rounds played today as we are taking a couple days at the beach.  Did get in some drill work doing the slapshot drill while cooking on the grill.  Used the drill to work on weight shift onto the lead foot as part of the slap shot swing motion.

Day 51 (22 Jun 24) - very similar to yesterday’s drill of working on the slap shot drill and focused weight shift.  Only today I wasn’t grilling anything….just working on the weight shift and the feel of weight moving onto the lead foot (also with not club, no ball I didn’t have a case of “where-did-the-ball-go-itis)….

Day 597, June 22, 2024

Got some time in before lessons this morning at about 7:15. It's warm, but it's a little bit less warm first thing in the morning. I'll do the same tomorrow before a lesson at 9…

Day 71:

Hit 20 balls with 6-iron, 9-3 swing really focused on priority piece.

Then 20 balls full swing, keeping priority piece in mind, but trying to stay athletic.

Finished with 20 balls each chipping/pitching switching technique every 5 balls.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By saevel25 ·

      Bogey golf for 9 holes. On the Struggle bus. Mostly struggling on the longer clubs. And I really can’t buy a putt right now.

      My Swing (billchao)

      By billchao ·

      Had a bunch of different things come up one after another that really limited my time and ability to practice, but got some in today:   I'm striking the ball pretty solidly, minus the occasional toe shank. As far as my priority piece goes, I'm doing the shift, back and up part pretty well, but the forward thing escapes me. I'm going to have to keep working at it slowly and in parts. It may have to be a timing thing for now. The downswing part works for me because it's just swing my arms down really fast because my lower body outraces my upper body. I'm not going to sit here and pick it apart piece by piece. There are things I'm doing well and things I'm not. Overall I'm pretty happy with how it looks currently considering I've basically been doing only mirror work and playing for the past three weeks. I also did some stuff on the Mevo+ just to get an idea of how I'm hitting the ball and needless to say, it's kind of all over the place: I don't know what the heck is going on with that 9 iron. PW was solid, 8 iron was solid, 9 iron was all over the place. I started with 7 iron and then worked my way up the bag from short to long and that might have been a mistake. I was pretty tired by the time I was hitting the 6 iron.

      Day 56 (27 Jun 24) - Hit some hard foam balls with the 7i, working on full swing today.  Hit a total of about 20 shots.  Hoping to get out to the course tomorrow to play the men's weekly scramble.

      Are You a Fair Weather or All Weather Golfer?

      By WillieT ·

      Pretty much all weather - Rain and cold don't really bother as do neither hot temps.  For years I rode year round on the bike, so it being in the elements has never really been an issue.  I've called and had to look around for an open course when it was super cold.  Also I've been out there when it was pouring rain (and I had forgotten the rain gear).  So yes, if its open and I have the opportunity I will more times than not be calling for a tee time.
