Day 10: 12/19/2024

Had another range session today bringing my new PPJ swing thought to the range. I'm hitting more and more good ones. Right now it's all block training so I get in some streaks where I'm getting the timing right and have several really good shots in a row. I realize I'll need to eventually work in some random training, but I'm not ready for that yet. 

As of now, practice is a lot of fun, because I can see results and I feel like I'm making progress. 

There will probably be very few range sessions over the next week or so. I plan to do a lot of mirror work and hit balls in the garage net. 

Once again, I also visited the PGA super store and putted around with several putters. ... just for kicks.

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Tested out the Garmin R50 for a little while. It seemed to give pretty good numbers.

Fay 231 (20 Dec 24) - Weekly Friday round with the men’s group.  We started on the back so we started with the two toughest holes on the back.  Shot 44 as wedge play saved me on a number of holes - consistently getting the ball within 15’ of the hole.  Front side was better with a 38 (3 bogies / 1 birdie) - again wedge play was key as I had confidence in the distance to be covered and the club chosen.

Day 11: 12/21/2024

I've already been doing about 20 minutes in front of the mirror this morning. 
I can't believe I forgot to post yesterday as I probably had 2 hours of practice yesterday including full swing and putting.

Day 339 - Much happier with how I played today, especially on the back 9. Short game failed me a few times on the front, so I guess that's what I'll be practicing this week.


Day 232 (21 Dec 24) - Easy day of some 6i low running pitches followed by similar higher flighted swings with the 9i.  As this was in the backyard - kept all the shots from 10-30 yds.  I like this drill as it reinforces a smooth swing thru the ball along with getting a feel for how the ball runs out.

Day 233 (22 Dec 24) - Very late afternoon session (after watching the PNC finish - much more entertaining than the Showdown) with the 50deg, hitting nippy low flighted chips.  Really focused on foot position and keeping swing smooth.   As light was fading fast and temps were heading south of freezing, session was pretty abbreviated.
