Day 34 (11 Apr 26) - Got in some wedge work in the backyard - working on takeaway and proper torso rotation.  Much better shot dispersion.

Got some work in after lessons. Backswing has to be shorter. Slightly cupped.

Day 234 4-11

Wrist arching and hips/chest in backswing. Really trying to hammer in the wrist arch, its such a  better swing when I do it correctly, its not in muscle memory yet.

Day 3, April 11, after the Masters and before dinner, I had time (quite a bit of time, actually) to hit about two dozen practice balls, complete with the pelvis limiting drill.  As with the past two days, I would do the drill for pelvis limiting, then take slow rehearsals of the backswing, checking positions in a mirror, and then reset and hit.  These were all indoors, off a mat, into a net, primarily with a 6-iron, although a few were with a 9-iron.

Day 14: was hoping to do more today, but woke up with bad neck pain. So just a little bit of mirror work, working on the same downswing stuff.

Day 4, April 12.  After the Masters, I spent some time in my practice room, same drills as yesterday (pelvis limiting drill and hitting balls, all 6-iron this time).  It was only about a dozen balls, but still took plenty of time.

Day 35 (12 Apr 26) - Got in some swings with 7i, hard foam balls and Divot Board - focus on setup thru completed swing - checking “divot pattern” after each…

Day 15: range day! Worked for a solid 45 minutes or so on the full swing, checking things on video. Key feel right now is arms high on the backswing. Will need to work more on a downswing feel to shallow the club more, but the backswing is solid.

Day 5, April 13.  I did the same drill this morning (indoors, off a mat, into the net, at home) and hit 8 practice balls (drill / ingrain, a few rehearsals, hit, repeat) with a 6-iron.  I'm playing later today but wanted to ingrain a bit of this before I left the house.
