Day 6:

Played 18, solid round until I tripled  #13 and doubled  #14, but recovered to par out on the way in with 4 straight GIR with very makeable birdie putts.

@DaHolla I hope to get to full swing one day.  I'm told I am just doing under half swing, when I try full swing I just hit the ground and miss the ball and look silly.

Slow motion swings with a hybrid followed by distance control putting through 50 mm gates. No gates hit, but only took 20 putts, far short of my normal 51.

Day 93 (3 Aug 24) - Late afternoon session with 8i and hard foam balls - focused on the setup, especially the grip.  Noticed more of a push in shots lately.  First few shots where heavy, got settled and by end of session much better contact and shot shape.  Love these return to basics type drills.

Day 9:  Played 9 and beat my best by 6!  44 on a par 33, not bad for about 4 months of playing.  

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

Watched the USSWO at Fox Chapel all day, then came home to practice a few swings in the patio door glass while catching up on things.

Day 225: 8/4/24

Range work in preparation for a tournament this weekend in which my partner and I are two-time defending champions. Been battling tennis elbow and shanked way too many this afternoon. Finished with putting practice and putted well for me.

Day 10:  Had an hour long practice playing three holes.  Got some good pointers and practice using my 3w and 5h.  I was then able to finish the rest of the front nine but I didn’t keep score.  

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

    • Some photos from Sedge Valley this past week. I really enjoyed this Tom Doak par 68 design. It is probably my second favorite course on the property to this point. It looks fairly wide open with a number of drivable par 4s, but you really have to place your shots on it. A mixture of convex and concave at points as well. I wasn't able to play The Lido as I did not stay on the property. I hope to do that in 2025. I am pretty happy overall with the current state of my game. I've really only been working on a couple of things in the swing overall this season. Delaying any hinge or feeling very little in the BS and loading into my right foot to feel getting off my right side better. This has really helped with my left miss although it is still there at time when I get tense or tired during a round. With the longer clubs I have been working on being a bit more around and less steep as well. Despite the numbers below, my putting has been improving and these days my left miss is still usually in play.  Happy overall with the proximity numbers as well.
