Day 12 (12 May 25) - A day of light drizzle, able to get outside and continue the work with the trail palm drill.  All wedges again today - rehearsing the swing with the open palm on the back of the grip and then making smooth swings through with the wedge of the moment.  Looking to see this work translate into better iron play.

Day 13 (13 May 25) - Nice break in the rain just after mid-day, so got outside to continue the trail hand drill - moved up to 7i but still with hard foam balls.  Starting to see a smoother transition into the downswing and more consistent ball first contact.   Kept the swings to about 3/4 speed as I work on this small adjustment in the swing.

Day 7: 5/13/2025

Range day today. Had a really good session. I was able to pull a mirror over into my stall and make a slow-mo swing in the mirror and then try to duplicate the swing to hit a ball. 

Felt really good today. Tomorrow will be league night. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Day 8: 5/14/2025

Played 9 holes today for the Wednesday Night League. 

I played probably the worst I've played in a long time. In fairness, the course was pretty water-logged and the grass was super high and super thick everywhere. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.
