Work outside in the yard while waiting for some yard work to be done… that wouldn't be done. πŸ˜›Β :sigh:

Day 165 (14 Oct 24) -Β Β Worked with the 58 today (the least used wedge in bag) in making those tight little pitches from 5 - 10 yards out to 25 or so. Started with a putter swing (no flexing of wrists) to give that easy up and down pitch. Β Moved to longer shots with minimal wrist action. Β Solid session.

Day 275 - Played 18 today, and it was ugly. Worst I’ve hit the driver in a while, irons were all over the place, and my short game didn’t help at all. Going to Hawaii in 3 weeks for a golf trip, so need to put some work in before then.Β 


Day 166 (15 Oct 24) -Β Worked with the 6i into the net today. Β Focused on the legs - slight knee bend, keeping pressure on lead foot, getting rotation thru contact. Β

Day 276 - Trying to focus on some external cues to get a full, wide backswing and a better impact position. The first was easier, but impact is still a struggle.Β

Day 16 -Β 2024-10-16

I'm limiting my practice sessions to like 20 minutes. Thumb not anywhere close to 100% in one very weird and specific way.

Day 167 (16 Oct 24)Β -Β Backyard fun with the grandson today. Using foam balls and a mix of clubs, we worked on setup and shot planning (over the tree, by swing set, etc). Β Call it backyard course management 101. Β Always a hoot especially when you’re switching clubs and having to adjust to different ball flights. Β

    • I agree. I would have thought it would save them shipping costs. I will say, I don't really mind. I'm guessing the labor cost to remove the head and repack it is greater than the difference in shipping costs. I'm guessing Callaway has a deal with UPS because the shipping label they sent me only showed a cost of like 8 bucks and change. Feels like it would have costed me more to ship it.Β  When the guy I spoke to told me they were sending me a complete driver and I could choose to keep my old shaft or keep the new one, I was actually kind of excited. It was like a little driver shaft lottery. ... I didn't win though. The shaft I got was almost the same as the one I had just the R version instead of the S version. Mine's a 60 gram Hzrdus Black.Β  The other thing I kind of liked about it is that they shipped it the same day I talked to the guy. So it was fast.Β  Lastly, I'm pretty sure the guy I talked to was in California, and the driver definitely shipped to me out of Texas. That's also where I sent it back to.Β  So, overall, really I have no complaints.Β  Β
