Day 211 - Broke out the PRGR and worked on a full turn in the backswing. It’s always a nice reminder to see the speed increase when I actually make a full turn.

Day 98 (8 Aug 24) - more rain, more inside only stuff - continued work from the past couple of days.  Worked on lag putts as well as short chips on the carpet.  Debby is supposed to be leaving NC tonight - maybe some outside stuff tomorrow.

Day 644, August 8, 2024

Wrist (and thumb) were a little sore, still, so took it light and only practiced at < 90 MPH (barely, ha!) for about 12 minutes.

Day 13:  Played 9 from the tips and added 6 strokes to my best score.  I think I’ll continue to hit from there going forward. 

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

Day 645, August 9, 2024

Practiced for 45 minutes. Actually got up to 96 MPH with the 6I. Wrist still isn't 100%, thumb is close, but… I don't think I'm doing any other damage.

Day 99 (9 Aug 24)  -  More putting today (via the hall obstacle course created by my grandson)…talking about working on the start line - 1st gate is 4” at 10’, 2nd is under the skateboard about 20’, 3rd narrowly misses the football around 30’ to the auto return cup at the end of the hall - on a hardwood floor (stimp off the scale fast).  Best I could do was an easy paced two-putt.  Really was a tough drill focusing on starting well.

Day 14:  My sons set up some drills for me in the garage.  I didn’t pass his tests. 

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

Day 23: range day. Filmed my swing, worked on getting my hands down and making sure my hands are more vertical in the backswing. After that, did some random practice with driver and wedges. Then spent about 45 minutes at the short game area, working on chipping. Filmed a bit of that, too. Good practice day.

Day 1:

Been under the weather, haven’t remembered to post.

Worked on priority piece with 7-iron. Backswing piece is like 80% engrained.

Day 100 (10 Aug 24) - Finally a course day, of course it was CPO (cart path only)….still some much needed time across the bag.  As I told the course pro, it was a try to keep it as close as possible to the cart path as possible - which I failed more times than not.  Still a solid round - 41 front/41 back.  No major blow-ups except for the dbl on 11  that went something like this - tee shot hit the overhanging tree by the cart path and forced a layup that led to a third flew about 10 yds long and just off the green that led to a pitch that came up short and two putt dbl….recovered nicely with back to back pars.  Was a fun and challenging kind of day where nGIR was the rule and the wedges and putter delivered - coarse management at its finer moments.

Day 213 - Had a team match today, we lost 2&1. I wasn’t putting or striking the ball particularly well, but still fairly happy with my score. Hip is killing me, so I need to figure that out.

Day 646, August 10, 2024

HackMotion work… without hitting a ball. But it'll still detect a downswing. 🙂
