Day 452 - 2025-12-26

Backswing work through the end of December. Don't love the right leg here, but the club is planing out really well.

Spent a little over an hour at indoor sim with son. Some random wedge proximity contests, then we played alternate shot at Portrush.

Day 136 12-26

Had a different practice planned today but life happened. Worked on "wide to wide" and still working on remaining flowy. Starting the club head in front of the ball as a drill, is helping with the flow of the swing.

Day 44 (26 Dec 25)  -  played in the Friday men’s shootout with a twist - used the Toney Penna persimmons and MacGregor blades - had a blast playing these clubs.  They really help in zoning in on making solid ball contact.  Scoring was solid - had several looks at birdie and had a few par saves.  Overall a day of focused course management.

Day 32: worked for about 10 minutes on my drill. Filmed it as well for a check in. I think it’s slightly better but still seeing some issues.

Day 137 12-27

Worked on wider backswing today and tried to remain flowy. Recorded face on and down the line. Swing is looking better but I mentally felt off today, just frustrated. Tomorrow's a new day!

Day 453 - 2025-12-27

Two things today for about 48 balls (I like to hit three or six balls at a time before taking a small break to pick them up):

  1. Right leg stays flexed a bit, internal rotation on the backswing.
  2. Kept my eyes looking at the ball and trusted that the backswing was fine.

Day 45 (27 Dec 25) - played at one of the sisters courses to my home course.  Solid session through the bag….of the 7 pars, 4 were up and down 1 putts (wedges were dialed in) from 6’ or less.  Off the tee - solid, irons were consistent even it a bit under on distances.  Course management was on - stayed the course even with a few offline recovery shots required…
