Day 116 (26 Aug 24) - worked thru the 'somewhat vintage’ bag today - TA845s Silver Scot irons, TM R580 driver, SLDRs 3HL and Callaway Diablo 3h - at the net in the backyard.  As I have not hit these in a while, it was a let’s get a feel for these irons again session.  After a few moments I realized just why I still like these irons, as to me they are still sweet swinging clubs.  Will be using these in the monthly nine hole super ball round tomorrow.

Day 662, August 26, 2024

Practiced for 35 minutes or so, and then played 17 holes (we skipped a group on 6) with @DrizZzY. Hit a few killer good shots. A hybrid here, a pair of drives. An 8I on the last hole. Etc.

Day 16:

Worked on backswing a little bit and then spent the rest of my time on downswing. It was too dark for recording swings or setting up Mevo+

Day 117 (27 Aug 24) - Monthly men’s group outing nine hole super ball.  Had grandson playing in our threesome - kid carried us on the greens as he made five 1 putts for 4 pars and 1 birdie - average distance was 10’.   For me it was a solid round of ball striking with the 845s Silver Scots, TM R580, etc.  Now if I could only putt like my grandson…we finished 1 under with no bogies, 8 pars and 1 birdie.

Day 118 (28 Aug 24) - Easy day with some of the clubs hitting into the net in the backyard.  Worked on setup and takeaway process.  Kept most swings to 1/2 swings as the focus was getting consistent contact on the ball with the club face.

Day 249: 8/28/24

Range session after discussing swing with coach yesterday. Felt like I hit the ball really well. Worked on a wider swing, and staying on my front post. Hit more crisp iron shots than I have been hitting.

Day 42: Mirror work. Checked that the grip was better with my right hand. Then worked on hinging the wrists a bit earlier in the backswing. I need to focus more on mirror work in season, because I think this was really helpful.

      Day 314 - Putting some things together. Better grip/setup, fuller backswing, better finishing position. Filmed some swings, happy with the progress.

      Day 206 (24 Nov 24)  - An easy session with the 54deg wedge and hard foam balls / one simple goal - distance control thru backswing length while not decelerating.  Had a playing partner comment they noticed me decelerating on a couple short wedge shots in last round.  Hit from distances from close to 40yds down to 20.

      Best Shot of the Week

      By Clemsonfan ·

      Musgrove Mill hole #15 was converted to a par 3 after Hurricane Helene. Today, I had 145 from the tee which is a perfect 9-iron for me. I aimed just right of the hole and pulled it a few feet. Clanked off the stick down into the hole and ricocheted out of the hole 13’ away. Drained the putt for a birdie after repairing the hole which was damaged . Not sure if it would have counted as a HIO, but I was pretty excited!

      Day 55 - 2024-11-24 Did five levels of Operation 36 on GSPro (different courses). 🙂 Was -4 from 200 yards (32) intentionally laying up on each hole (i.e. not hitting a 5I or something). Shot… 22, 24, 26 from 25, 50, and 100 yards. I forget my 150-yard score, but obviously it was < 36. Putting was odd… (and I did it with the wedge or a 7I or whatever was in my hand).
