Day 107 (17 Aug 24) - Worked on swing setup today, focused on takeaway and weight shift - “after” cleaning out the bag (way too many tees) and doing the groove brush thing on the wedges, irons and hybrids.  Looking to play 9 tomorrow at a local tract that has three sets of nines, one of which I’ve not played but am supposed to tomorrow.  Gonna be a fun day revisiting this course.

Day 653, August 17, 2024

Light day of HackMotion work in the room. Interested in staying cupped during the backswing, particularly early.

Day 18:  Played 9, didn’t do great due to my chipping and putting.  

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

Day 9:

Mobile post from last night didn't go through. Played 18 this morning. Had to fight my body because I only slept 3 hours, and left my breakfast protein bar at home, but when I executed well I hit good shots. There were also some real stinkers.

Day 19:  Had an hour lesson and focused on my swing path.  Gotta back to those big body movements.

Day 239: 8/18/24

Putting practice through 50 mm gates. Hit the first gate and made the next 51. Almost perfect. Haven’t played much lately but putting has been a bright spot. Gained 3.25, 5.1 and 1.20 strokes putting my last three rounds versus my 7.1 handicap.

Day 108 (18 Aug 24) -  Got in the planned 9 today at Star Hill, the course near the beach place…It has 3 nine hole tracts, finally played the third tract (the Sands) as I’ve played the other two (Pines and Lakes) a couple times each.  The starter even asked if I wanted to play the Pines as I was solo, I told him no as I had never played the Sands.  He said good deal, just follow those guys.  TBH it was a hoot with 15–20 mph SSW winds that crossed, tailed and headed on some form on every hole.  Still a solid 42 for me off the whites (really should have played up to the golds).  Was a day of “wind based” course management…loved the tail winds, struggled the head winds and tried to compensate for the side winds.  A good day of golf.

Day 655, August 19, 2024

Practiced before some lessons. Path is still a little left when I focus almost entirely on the backswing stuff, but… that's fine. Known solution there.
