Day 38 - 2026-01-27

Another solid range session, feeling good about changes I've been working on (grip, weight shift to trail side, backswing). Playing 18 tomorrow morning.

Day 63: long day, so just some time for mirror work. Worked on downswing, hands down and then turn.

Day 27, 1/27.  I worked from home for half the day, and during that half, I found my way twice into the practice room for 10 balls each time (off a mat, into a net, 6-iron, indoors).

Day 26: 2026.01.28

Another busy day so only managed a few slow swings working on backswing rotation/arm elevation drill.

Day 10 (28 Jan 26) -  Course deserted, so it was a free reign play kind of day.  Opted to play two balls tee to cup (lost balls, penalties, duffed shots - all included) all 18 holes - tracking the average of the two scores alternating between the white (member) and gold (senior) tees.  For example on the par 4 #1 I had a bogie and par for a 4.5 stroke “average”.  Now I know there is no true 1/2 stroke in golf, but to score the average gave insight into playing consistent - even seeing some wild up and downs when out of position.  On the plus side shot an 82 using the “best” scores, 85.5 with the “average” scores and 88 with the “worst” scores.

Day 168 1-28

2 practices today. I really like this process/what im currently working on. First practice backswing work using mirror. Second practice was arm reconnect and wrist arch. I think im missing something with the wrist arch. Recorded the 2nd session face on.

Day 485 - 2026-01-28

Some partial swings. They were a bit careless. Sloppy. I'm kind of annoyed at myself.

Day 28, 1/28.  Putter practice, on the carpet, to a cup, focusing on pendulum.  

[DeadMan]

Day 64: mirror work again. Worked more on downswing - down and then turn. 

[ConorHealy]

Day 27: 2026.01.29

Some backswing practice indoors, tried to slow things right down to work on arm raise.

[WillieT]

Day 11 (29 Jan 26) - Worked with the 7i and hard foam balls today - focused on P3 - P5.  Been catching ball thin - worked on getting more consistent contact.  Solid session.

Day 169 1-29

Main focus was really arching wrist in downswing. It's starting to get better for sure. Did lots of rehearsals used mirror and recorded.

Day 40 - 2026-01-29

Slow reps on mat and net focused on grip and backswing.

[DeadMan]

Day 65: did a stack session. Worked on slow practice swings during rest breaks, hands down and then turn.

Day 29, 1/29.  I actually allocated some decent time to practice today.  It was "only" 20 minutes, but I don't like having even small streaks of "just" five minutes.  In any case, I spent a good 20 minutes, hitting 18 total balls (I counted afterward, the count wasn't the goal), indoors, off a mat, into a net, focused on length of the backswing.
