Day 333 - 2025-08-29

Went downtown for about five hours this morning. Only swung for about two of them, maybe a bit less. Got a lot of other little bits of work done. Back to the "throw the back of the club at the ground" from a few years ago.

Day 16 8-30

Went to the range today. It was nice hitting off some grass and actually seeing ball flight. Worked on backswing length and correct hip movement(hips not going towards ball in backswing). Recorded swings from dtl angle.

Day 334 - 2025-08-30

Got a little work in downtown before lessons (not much), then played 9 holes with my "everything old is new again" swing thought. Hit a lot of good ones. Which feels stupid. 😄

Missed yesterday’s posting so we start again…

Day 1 (30 Aug 25) - Long day so no time for outside work.  Opted to make it a mirror work session - focused on weight shift and coming smoothly into and thru the downswing.  Was good to just slowly work thru the swing process.

Day 1: back in the saddle after a work trip. Did a stack session today.

Day 2 (31 Aug 25) - Backyard session with the 54deg wedge working on flighting the ball trying to hit low-mid-high windows.  Ended with a few swings of the 58deg focused on those green side up downs.

Day 1: 8/31/25

Practiced chipping and made 6 tonight using three balls to each hole. By far, my best. That said, I still don’t own the Mayo method, but it could be due to lack of playing time. Hit several heavy tonight.

Day 17 8-31

Did two separate practice sessions with a net in the backyard. Worked on shorter backswing and getting hips to move better in backswing.

The OP says a streak still counts if you miss only 2 of the last 28 days (four weeks), you know.

Day 2: mirror work after a long day. Working on wrist feels, but also making sure my backswing is still where it needs to be.

Thanks for the reminder Erik - for some reason I’ve always “interpreted” that the “missed” days only started “after” you had done 28 days straight.  TBH - I actually hate missing any days, not that I’m obsessed or anything.  These short drills are part of my personal daily get out and about routines….

Day 336 - 2025-09-01

Hit 13 balls in honor of Taylor Swift. Baker's dozen. No sourdough for me though. Screw the Chiefs and their culturally insensitive "chop" cheer. Took my time, lots of rehearsals.

Day 3 (1 Sep 25) - Easy afternoon front nine with grandson from “his” tees (the most fwd set - around 2500 yds).  Stripped down the bag to 5-6-7 irons, 50-54-58 wedges and putter.  Goal - focus on mid-irons and green side wedge play. Shot a stress free 39 as the wedge play was leaving me 4’ or less for tap in pars, bogie at worst.  Grandson was solidly along side the entire way…best part - just watching him continue to develop as a player, confident in his club choices and taking responsibility for the outcomes….

Day 2: 9/1/25

hit a couple of buckets tonight. Really rusty with inconsistent contact with all but my driver and wedges. Hope to be able to practice more full swing soon.

Day 18 9-1

Hit some balls at the range, practiced correct pelvis/hip motion. Went over to short game area and hit 20 yard shots. 

[DeadMan]

Day 3: did the yardstick putting drill for a while watching TV.

Day 337 - 2025-09-02

26 balls today. Two batches of 13. Same old stuff, though today was a bit more of a "learn to hit from a screwy (feeling) P6" than P4 to P7.

Day 19 9-2

Worked on  correct lower body movement and moving club back with chest. Hit a few foam balls. Focused on hips and improving how they move in backswing/ downswing.
