Day 69 (10 Jul 24) - Had fun in the backyard working with the 7i and hard foam balls.  Worked on making solid ball contact first.  Tried a little trick of focusing about 2" ahead of the ball looking to start the divot mark there, i.e. not thinking about hitting the "back of the ball".  Found the drill challenging and fun at the same time.

Day 615, July 10, 2024

Practiced a bit after Natalie's 76 at US Women's Am qualifier (from 6200 yards). Mostly shorter shots, less than full stuff.

Day 89:

Did short game drills in the dark this evening. 

[DaHolla]

Day 184 - Worked on some pitches and flop shots, as well as my priority work. Need to film, as the swing is feeling better. Hip doesn’t feel great, though. 

[Becca]

Day 30:  Early morning at the range, hit a couple of buckets focusing on a wider arm swing and getting hips to move sooner.

Day 9, range session working on priority piece. Staying taller through out the swing. Nice slow swings, feel the hands stop at A3, wrist stuff in the downswing. Good mix of practice drills and successful full swings at like 70%

Day 201: 7/11/24

Chipping practice. Arrived at the pro shop at 6:02 but the range closed at 6:00. Hoped to hit some full shots tonight but maybe tomorrow!

[WillieT]

Day 70 (11 Jul 24) - brought out the broomstick style putter (think it started life as a belly putter) this evening for some easy putting practice….may even try it on the course tomorrow if the weather holds…rain is likely…

Day 616, July 11, 2024

Played 18 at Lawsonia Links today with @NatalieB and @cedrictheo. I'm now two under lifetime on the 15th. 😄 

[Darkfrog]

Day 90:

Worked on full swing stuff with 6-iron with Mevo+. Still seeing positive results of minimizing left miss (5/35 swings went left of target, worst one was 7 yards offline).

Adding a few notes for myself.

Backswing - takeaway feels like is that club is moving outside target line while going back, pause/slow at top to gather, feel pressure in lead heel, lead shoulder to chin. Eyes focus on ball the entire time.

Downswing - drop hands behind, add palmar flexion on the way down, feel for turn is lead hip is moving on a line 45* left toward target.

Day 185 - More priority work, this time with the Divot Board to work on impact. 

[WillieT]

Day 71 (12 Jul 24) - Played the Friday Men's group scramble.  Did okay - iron play was more consistent in terms of ball striking.  Had a steady trailwind going out which meant a steady head wind coming in.  Made for different club options - playing the ball flight lower into the wind, etc.  Good day for thinking my way around instead of just playing the "ususal".
