Day 496 - 2026-02-08

Hit another dozen balls on the mat after work. Axis tilt is part of the downswing (and backswing).

Slow swings focusing on backswing, thinking about not overswinging at the top.

Day 180 2-9

Big focus on arching wrist, but continuing to arch through down swing. Goal is still to get balls go left and go slow. Hit a few foam balls.

Day 51 - 2026-02-09

Work at the net with foam balls, new slow moves prescribed by coach. Maybe finally starting to see what he's been trying to tell me for a while.

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

Day 22 (9 Feb 26) - Wedge work with the 55° in the backyard-worked thru the varied green side shots: low spinners, high floaters, finished with a ladder type drill - first shot to about 15yds, then next to about 1 yd farther, etc thru 8 balls.  Last several were more erratic - gapping spread out to about 2-3 yds.  Overall good short game session.

      First Season With Blades - Let's Discuss

      By OrangeDot · Posted

      I played this weekend, a full 18 (which is rare for me these days). Hit a pretty solid round, but I think it was more about the short game being on and some of the drives off the tee going straight and far, than it was due to the blades. I had one hole that I absolutely butchered using a 6 iron off the tee. I hit a 2 iron that went straight and far out of the wind, and I remember a 7 iron dropping onto the green. But I also remember several of the shots going left on me. The blades didn't really cripple me or hurt me badly at all. So indeed - maybe the next thing to do is really get the swing analyzed. And go from there.
