Mirror and net work for 15 minutes focusing on trail hip and leg movement / rotation based on @iacas feedback. Felt good - stuff I know and have been told before, but hasn't sunk in yet.

Only time for some grip work in the garden, need to film it and see if I'm making progress.

While I have practiced a decent amount in the past 6-7 weeks, once I figured I wouldn't maintain the rules of the challenge I stopped posting 😞  Anyway, I'm back and I think I'll be able to maintain!  Let's see.

Day 1, 12/30/25.  10 balls with 6-iron, another 10 with a 9-iron, and a few chips with the UW and 54.  All off a mat, into a net, indoors, with real golf balls.  The will swing focus was on controlling the length of the backswing and doing so slowly.

Day 11 - 2025-12-30

More net / mat work, continued focus on trailing hip, leg, and hands. 10 minutes.

Day 456 - 2025-12-30

Backswing work in a mirror. Took it easy on the Skillest lessons today as I'll have a good amount of time tomorrow.

At least one more day of all backswing stuff.

[DeadMan]

Day 36: mirror work again. Checking that I’m turning enough in the backswing and then working on downswing feels.

Day 141 12-31

Reconnecting arm and club face work. Making sure left wrist is arched only on the downswing. Not doing full swings, im pausing at the top and will do a few rehearsals.  Hit a few real balls  after, and had some curve way left.

Day 457 - 2025-12-31

Stayed after some GEARS Hybrid stuff with my senior girls and got some work in. Also, kicked Tegan's butt at a chipping contest with a wedge that has a lousy toe profile.

Day 29 (31 Dec 25) - played a casual year-end 18 with a couple of friends.  

[Shindig]

Day 2, 12/31/25.  Similar to yesterday (rainy, no surprise), I hit primarily 6-iron full swings with the same focus;  I also hit some chips (about 1/8 swing) with the 54.  About two dozen full swings and an equal number of short shots.  All of this was indoors, off a mat, into a net, real balls. 

[Chris Brooks]

Day 12 - 2025-12-31

Limited time today, and heavy rains here. 5-10 minutes of mirror work for full swing, working on trail side.
