Practiced for two hours before lessons. Shorter, shorter, shorter. Preserves the wrist angles.

Day 224 - I played 9 holes this evening. Nothing was horrible, but nothing was good. It seemed like I insisted on wasting one stroke per hole, which never bodes well.

Day 113 (23 Aug 24) -  What started as the Friday men’s group 18 hole round became 27 when my son and grandson wanted to play nine.  Got in some solid work based on the drills of the past few days.  Overall game was so-so, weather was good, company was awesome - made for a solid Friday of golf.

Day 13:

Played 18 at Northwood Golf Club, a cool little 9-hole MacKenzie muni in the coastal redwoods near Guerneville, CA. Fun course, cool greens, could have been in better condition but for $48 no complaints. Played a lot of “positional” shots out of the trees.

Day 37: prep before 3 days of golf. Hit 40 balls, focusing on long clubs. Was pretty damn good. Then putted for about 45 minutes, primarily working on putts from 3-10 feet.

Day 225 - Mostly backswing work, making sure to get a full shoulder turn.

Day 245: 8/24/24

Practiced prior to round. Good warmup with full swing, short game and putting.

[Darkfrog]

Day 14:

Did a bunch of rehearsals/slow swings in patio door mirror. Then some yardstick putting.

[DeadMan]

Day 38: played 18. Knocked off a birdie challenge hole, otherwise, not great.

Day 114 (24 Aug 24) -  some work at the net this pm with a couple of adders - foot spray and divot board along with the ball behind the club to keep takeaway shallower. Primary focus was on getting consistent center of club face (only worked with 9i) and getting solid thru the call contact.  Swung at about 60% speed (what felt like it) to keep things in good sequence.  Hit maybe a total of 30 balls…here’s a photo of the setup:

Day 226 - Did some chipping and pitching while watching the BMW.

Day 15:

Played 18. Aside from one shank, and one bladed half wedge, it was a good round. Could have putted better.

Day 661, August 25, 2024

Got 30 minutes in before a good long GEARS lesson with a very good player. Twisting felt a little stranger today. Spent a little time on the grip. I need to replace it on my practice club soon as it's worn out in the left thumb area pretty badly.

Day 115 (25 Aug 24) - An easy session with the MacGregor 7i and hard balls into the net.  This club will let you know if you miss hit and reward when you get it solid.  Love the concentration this requires to get a smooth thru the ball swing.

Day 246: 8/25/24

Worked on iron play tonight. Good session primarily with mid-irons and gap wedge.
