Day 105: did some putting start line work with the cups drill. Also working on feeling like my head goes slightly forward in the putt’s downswing to help keep my head steadier.

Day 30 - 2024-10-30

Played nine holes today. Was apprehensive at first. I think I can swing it at a decent speed, I just have to do my two pieces well (and use my legs).

Day 31 - 2024-10-31

Hit 36 balls on the QM at Golf Evolution after a lesson I'd forgotten I had. 😄 I was headed down and he said "I'm here early." 😄

    • Thanks! It actually briefly dropped to 5.8 at some point in July, but it felt like it was too rich for my blood every moment of the whole two weeks I held the 'level' for me to sustain it. The term 'impostor syndrome' comes to mind.. :-)) I have certainly done better than I have in the previous years to stay the course in how and what I have practiced but yes, it's a high probability that I'm leaving a lot on the table.    
    • Dang... in the realm of things that probably don't matter all that much, golf slumps are the worst. Yes definitely consult a pro ASAP. Get back to hitting it solid again. Hitting the sweet spot solves a lot of problems. For me it's always the latter. My confidence grows as I hit more and more solid shots, which are the result of continuing to improve my swing thru better concepts, better practice, etc.  Yea, this for sure. And also, without a professional there to let you know you "did it better this time" it can be unnecessarily frustrating and confounding working alone. It's not that you can't work alone; clearly, you can. But during rough patches, it's always smart to consult professionals. Lessons are an amazing place to take new concepts and turn them into feels that you are confident will work. It's still really cool you consider this your best ever season. Congrats on hitting 7.8 this year!

    • You probably just go too fast. If you can't do it slowly, you won't do it fast. Good.
    • Does confidence breed game or does game breed confidence? I would think it's both and that I have little of either at the moment. Have struggled to break 80 even on some easier tracks outside of my home course, which seemed like I had it in the bag on most days during the summer.  The regression is evident in the variance that has creeped into my most trusted of game aspects, especially my short irons and wedges. I went through a three month period this summer where I couldn't mishit a wedge if I tried. Not exactly terrible but the sharpness is gone and so is the confidence. And as it almost always happens, it has affected my driving as well, which was also something I had made solid strides on. Admittedly, lot of it is self-created as as I am a perennially pathological tinkerer.  I didn't bother posting a video I took yesterday as it seems like there is no point in posting it. I saw what I needed and let's just say in spite of all the academic help I have gotten from @iacas, @JetFan1983, @saevel25 and of course, @boogielicious I can only conclude that I am bit dense as a golf student.  I will still see this as my best year yet and remain committed. Maybe a trip to Erie is in order at some point in the winter months.
