Day 96: did some mirror work this evening while watching TV. Working on hands down in the downswing. Also want my hands a little bit steeper in the backswing.

Day 282 - Maybe a little too much practice today, as the elbow is pretty sore this evening. 
A lot of swings focused on the backswing. Filmed a few, and still not getting the practice swings to translate.

Day 22 - 2024-10-22

Thumb actually felt a bit better today than even yesterday (I ended up hitting about 42 balls yesterday again). Today I hit about 36 or so, none over about 115 yards.

Day 173 (22 Oct 24) - Today was our church men’s group last event of the season.  As it’s super ball format, it was an easy round of fun.  Put the 845s Silver Scots in play along with the old Spalding Johnny Palmer 1 & 3 woods.  Those little heads sure do increase your level of focus.  Love the challenge the old clubs bring.

Day 284 - Good session today. Trip has gotten too weak, causing a lot of my issues (and possibly my elbow pain). Correctly that has. Lot of things in my swing looking better, so I need to keep at it. 


Day 1 again: 10/23/24

Putting through 50 mm gates. Start line was good from 17”, but distance control was inconsistent.

Awards, Achievements, and Accolades

Day 175 (24 Oct 24) - Got in some time with the 6i into the net.  Continued work with pre-shot routine, alignment, kept swings to 3/4 length.

Day 176 (25 Oct 24) - Weekly men’s scramble.  Was on the winning team this week.  Had some great wedge shots (hole our birdie on #4 from about 28yds, another close to birdie hole out on #7 - a year later and still getting great wedge play from the Indi wedges).  Overall game was up and down on the back nine - went 10 over, front nine (which we played last) / consistent play for me at 4 over.  Really enjoying the golf this time of year.

Day 25 - 2024-10-25

I used a Pure Ball Striker under the base of my left thumb today and it may have helped. It also may not have as it was not really the "reason" for any pain.

Getting tight on time, but still would rather be cautious than to do something more permanent or alter the motion to accommodate a temporary thing.

    • Day 313 - I played 18 today. First and last holes were ugly, but I actually played pretty well. Driver was great, irons were alright, and the short game was better than average. 
    • Day 205 (23 Nov 24) - Worked with the alignment rod and 7i  in reference to ball position in relation to lead foot on full iron shots, noticed an increase in thinned shots last couple of rounds - better contact with the balls (hard foam) during the drill/swing rehearsals.
    • Have you gone to a fitting? A good fitting will not only give you a clubhead but a shaft, etc. that will suit you.
    • It's not like the Nike Vapor Pro are exactly a highly sought set of irons.
    • Last night I was putting my Nike Vapor Pro Irons back in my bag.  I had my sons i500’s in there the last couple months after we all went to Top Golf .  I picked up the Nike’s this past spring and they are like new.  I feel guilty using them… I have other irons that aren’t valuable that I could use instead.
