Day 52: 2/1/2025

All I had time to do today was some chipping toward targets in the basement. And some gate drills on the putting mat. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Day 15: 2/1/25

Altered my putting a little bit more upright and went 50/51 on my 60 mm putting gates from 17”. Barely nicked the one I hit!

Day 30 - just some indoor putting work during this atmospheric river that will keep me off the course for several days. Need to get some indoor putting tools.

Day 11 (1 Feb 25) - Easy day in the backyard, 50° wedge, Divot Board and a few regular golf balls.  Been hitting this wedge heavy - used the divot board to at/just past the ball.  Followed up with non-Board swings - much better contact.  Will be part of the backyard sessions for some time to come.

Day 200: first range day in over a month. Worked on my backswing feels and filmed a bit. Think it’s looking pretty solid. Then went to the putting green and filmed there to check out my stroke. I have some weird head movement going on there, so that’s something to work on. Productive session overall.

Day 1 - Frustrated I lost my streak, my fault for always practicing/posting so late in the day. Oh well, back to the basics for a fresh start; setup and grip were my main focus. I finished with partial swings, really holding the finish. 


Day 52: 2/3/2025

I actually forgot to post yesterday even though I did some good stuff. That's my second miss since the streak started, but I think by the rules I'm okay. 
Today I got to the range and worked my way through the bag. The range was crowded so I wasn't able to grab any video, maybe tomorrow. I'd like to send some to Yoda as I have another lesson with him the end of next week. 
I spent a little bit of extra time with my new PXG Mini-driver.... I like it.

Day 13 (3 Feb 25) - long day with son’s ortho appt 2-1/2 hrs from home….got home this evening and wanted to get some time in, opted to roll some balls with Millie (the Odyssey AI One Seven T DB (way too long name)).  Started with lag putts to about 15’ (the max I can roll in the bedroom on carpet), trying to finish to within 2’ of the target cup (14 of 17); second drill used the putter cover as a “target cup” - set up balls (groups of 3) at varied distances from 4’ up to 8’ - hit the cover solid (make the putt), miss well it’s a missed putt (made 9, missed 8); last drill - stack the ladder - rolled the first to about 14’, then made successively shorter rolls trying gap anywhere 10-20”.  Had about 6 that lightly kissed the previous ball, but no rolls past….fun mix of work on distance control with the ol’ flat stick.

Day 17: 2/3/25

Putting through 50 mm gates. Made the first 9 rounds of 3 balls from 11” and then concentration wandered. Still a good session.

Day 14 (4 Feb 24) - Nice break in the weather - temps in the 60’s so it was set the net back up today in the backyard time. Was good to make some full swings with 7i and driver.  Wrapped up the day with easy pitches with the 7i and the 50° from 15 to 20 yds focused on setting up to a set target point and making smooth contact thru the ball and finish

    • Wordle 1,340 3/6* 🟨🟨🟨🟨⬜ ⬜🟩🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 You would think getting 4 of the 5 letters on the first word would be helpful.... But nope, this took me what felt like forever. Here's me: "Oh it's... ...

    • I have one and look forward to trying this. I bought the Stack Radar and developed pretty severe tennis elbow, likely from a new workout program, prior to receiving it, and have not used it very much. Asa competitive person, I respond well to gamifying practice. That’s why I also love using the Stack putting app. Two great incremental benefits of the program.
