Day 202 3-7

Worked on arching wrist through downswing, but in full swing, less pause at the top. Getting wider with arms as well.  Finding it pretty difficult still. Recorded swings, hit foam balls.

Got some swings in after a Starter Set of lessons with two new-ish golfers. Downswing work almost exclusively.

Day 203 3-8 

Focus on getting wider in backswing and reconnecting arm in downswing. With wider backswing reconnecting arm wasn't happening as well. Made some good progress. Hit foam balls.

Day 103: simulator session today. Wasn’t my best - felt like the simulator was off, but also was chunking and hitting shots left. Decided to slow down and work on some things. Not my best, but still productive.

Day 204 3-9

Wrist arch through downswing and getting wider with backswing. Need to continue working on getting trail arm "reconnected" as it still seems a bit off with wider backswing.

      Now you may not agree with these but once you get the speed dialed, super fast, true rolling greens yield a lot more holed putts from 10-15 feet range = birdies. Also, the rough wasn't terribly penal. On a separate note, it seemed Berger tried to cash in on his lead. Didn't play bad or anything but you could tell dude had already blown his load the first two days. And then Akshay stepped up. I mean the dart for the eagle was ridiculous.  Fun watch in a long time.

      Saw these today, this is a scam.  Joined in 2026.  Click his name and then his profile.  2 posts, no friends, one item for sale.  These clubs are probably takes from Temu. Facebook

      My Swing (Ty_Webb)

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      Range again today. A few freezers and a few smoothies. If I add a little speed I swing further arms go deeper and lower and more across again. Really like where this freezer got to on backswing:   This is a smoothie (ish). Clubhead tracks up the hands nicely but the things go a bit wrong: At normal speed: Lastly one shortish pitch shot. Pitching some days I come out and can drop it on the flag. Other days it’s going sideways. Like missing right or left by 10 yards from 50 yards and nothing in between. I suspect it’s from the hands coming out and the cut across. If I release it on that line it’s going left. If I hold it off it’s going right and then it’s timing. When it’s off it’s off. Feels like if I can get that under control it will tighten up a lot.
