Day 31:  I just realized I get to post in red!  I hope indoor mini golf counts for today.

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

Day 11, some indoor backswing and slow motion downswing work while I am doing my 4 loads of laundry. It's not good when you have no clean bath towels remaining.

Day 618, July 13, 2024

Played nine holes of irons only and did a lot of short game work too. Hit a few extra shots here and there to practice. Took over two hours with nobody in front of us. Also practiced on the GCQuad at Golf Evolution before that.

Day 72 (13 Jul 24) - hit a few hard foam balls with the Tommy Armour 845s Silver Scot 7i (still love the feel and balance these irons) - working on takeaway and delivering thru the ball, not to the ball.  Slowed tempo a little as well.  Total of about 15 shots over a half hour.

Day 187 - Played 18 at a new course. Shot well on the front, mediocre on the back. Driver wasn’t as sharp on the back, leaving me with some tough approach shots.

Day 93:

Played a quick 9 before heading off on vacation for a few days. Heavy fog, so just made easy swings trying to keep the ball "findable". Ended up shooting 3 over for 9, so nice way to start my vacation.

Day 12, working on short game. Trying to be less wrist hinge-y. It’s a bit better. Putting is a mess.

Day 619, July 14, 2024

Worked downtown at Golf Evolution this morning with @cedrictheo before heading to the range for further lessons. Same stuff. Got a recording, too.

Day 73 (14 Jul 24) - Hit some hard foam balls in the backyard with driver focused on smoothly coming into the ball (not over swinging - I tend to try to kill the ball), followed with return shots into the yard with the 6i same focus - staying smooth into the ball.

      Driver Off the Deck?

      By billchao ·

      I can't hit driver off the deck, but I'm certainly capable of hitting any shot 😜

      Are You a Fair Weather or All Weather Golfer?

      By retoid ·

      I'd like to change my vote to Dry Weather Golfer from All Weather Golfer until I improve drastically. Played in non-stop rain on Monday and it was the pits. Worst golf I've ever played, soaked through to my underwear, range finder dead from moisture, phone in dry pocket soaked, entire golf bag soaked and everything in it. No thanks, no more of that nonsense.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By retoid ·

      Man, I know how this goes all too well! I got to get out again this week and I am very thankful to have been able to. Started the front 9 off with 7 over, which is pretty good for me. One par and a birdie, the rest bogies and a double. Not terrible by any means for how I usually play. However, there seems to be a trend in my golf game that whenever I do well on the front nine, it starts going down hill real fast on the back nine. That is exactly what happened. Ended up with 13 over on the back nine and lost 5 balls on just 3 holes. I was thinking the exact same thing as you, you'd have thought I never knew how to play golf by what was happening. Had 3 triples and a double on the back nine. Otherwise I would have shot my best game yet. Also had a birdie and a par on the back nine. I never get birdies. After the 3rd triple, I just about lost faith and was ready to give up and call it a day. Golf is hard.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      Driver Off the Deck?

      By retoid ·

      I might give it a try a few times at the driving range just out of curiosity, but seeing as I can barely hit a fairway wood straight, I'll probably refrain from attempting it on the course for the time being. :D One of our members here, Phillip gave me a great lesson with irons not so long ago and it's helped a lot! I need to go back for a lesson with driving and fairway woods next.
