Day 12: 12/22/2024

I had several short mirror sessions today. Working on my PPJ swing thought. 

The one thing I have to careful of is I kind of get into a habit of doing my PPJ and then forget to finish the swing. I just sort of stop.
So, I've also been focusing on my PPJ swing thought, but then also on getting all the way to my finish rather than just stopping. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Day 234 (23 Dec 24) - Mystery Monday - what to do today….pretty straight up as I spent time with the 58 and a series of pitches (lower flighted all the way up to high fliers over the tulip tree).  Wrapped up the day going lower ball with the 9i and easy bump and runs.  Again as always the setup was key - case in point, got lazy and casually set up, feet straight and promptly hit a couple of nice heely shots hard right.  Knew it immediately, as next couple I went through the routine and flew the balls promptly too the target point.  Setup - setup - setup…

Day 13: 12/23/2024

A lot more mirror work today. Using my same swing thought. Some slow motion, some full motion, some in between.
Today I made sure I took every swing all the way to the finish.

Day 84 - 2024-12-23

I hit balls for 20 minutes after lessons and after getting down a BodiTrak for resale. Hinge. Path was weirdly consistent today at 1.6° or so ± like 0.8° only.

Day 235 (24 Dec 24) - Rainy Christmas Eve day - worked on putting stroke by rolling a few on the carpet.  Lagging for distance was goal using a version of the ladder drill - started off by going up - 1st step about 3’ - and then stepping a bit higher with each successive roll.  Then stepping down the ladder with each roll resulting in a bit shorter roll.  A fun drill where pace is key.

Day 85 - 2024-12-24

Practiced for 90 minutes (which probably means I hit about 60 golf balls). No launch monitor, but plenty of aids and feedback.

So Christmas Eve we hosted the family. But I still found some time before and some time after to get some solid mirror work in. Yay!
