Day 11 (20 Nov 25) - Weekly nine hole round - mixed it up a little by playing white-gold-red tee locations and playing 10-14 going out (we started on 10) and 6-9 (coming in) as the course was not busy so it was easy to jump over as 6-9 and 15-18 parallel each other.  Good day of working the approach game as the changes in tees allowed for not the usual approach distances.

Day 102 11-21

Early practice session today. Flow drill, getting to lead side, and a bit of skills work. Really need to slow down and ingrain the "rotating" to lead side.  Feels weird-which is great, it means changes, I'm just going too fast right now.

Day 12 (21 Nov 25) - What was to have been the usual Friday shootout with the men’s group turned into a rain out as the downpour set just as our group had tees off on the 2nd hole.  Thankful to get in a pre-round range session - focused on properly warming into the full swing starting with abbreviated 7irons and moving to the 7w, etc.

Day 5: 11/21/25

Indoor putting through gates and chipping. Tried my old Pelz wedge with box grooves and indestructible face using the Mayo method. I could spin the ball better and launch it much lower than my current wedges.

Day 13 (22 Nov 25) - Played in club Thanksgiving 2-man Scramble tourney (9 holes straight scramble, 9 hole Texas scramble) - was a fun exercise is playing from yardages shorter and longer than usual.  Did have a great closest to the pin hole (called the turkey hole) - was closest and came away with a fresh dozen of balls of my choice…came away with some Bridgestone Tour B RX balls….

Day 14 (23 Nov 25) - An easy afternoon with the 52 in the backyard…focused on working from impact position and back into the transition into the downswing (very abbreviated swings) - hitting balls from 5yds up to about 20yds.  Goal to get the hands leading at impact instead of flipping the head past to help the ball in the air.

Not any specific focus today besides keeping it flowy. Hit real balls just to see where my swing is at.

Day 7: 11/23/25

Speed training today after a long layoff. I have been training but not swinging or playing. Swing speed has not dropped much!

Putting practice through gates, and chipping with one hand. Also worked on some grip since I seem to have slipped to more of a palm grip during speed training.
