Day 47 - 2026-02-05

Played a slooow 9 holes so bailed at the turn. Ball striking was exceptional for me, full swing anyway. I need to reinvest time in partial wedges.

I've blogged about my wanderings since 2003. I love roaming throughout the USA looking for remote public golf courses to play.

Day 18 (5 Feb 26) - Another day of inside work - grandson wanted to do a putting skills session - from stetting up impossible hole targets (try rolling from carpet to hardwood knowing you have to hit hard enough to get to the floor but not so fast as to blow by the target cup….talk about pace).  Finished with me working a two ball drill (line both up side by side and then make a solid stroke where the balls roll out together-a great drill in keeping the face square at impact).  A fun day.

    • Yea, that test is strange. Especially when he starts talking about hip hinge at set up.  I think you could do an assortment of hip mobility test to determine if they can hinge correctly. Ask them, hey are your hamstrings tight when you get into the set up. Can you actually hinge at the hips.  I think the hamstring test is kind of pointless.
