Day 583 - 2026-05-07

Got some slow motion stuff done in the middle of a longer work day.

Day 39: range night! Worked on slow swings, really feeling the wrist and forearm roll. Solid session.

Day 59 (8 May 26) - Weekly men’s shootout today.  Solid play at 82 (41 / 41) - even got closest to pin on one of the par 3’s.  Had a couple of holes I went south on after making straight pars to start the back nine.  Still settled in to barely miss birdie on 18 for a solid par finish.

Day 2: 5/8/26

Chipping practice today with some slow motion full swings. Very rusty.

[DeadMan]

Day 40: played 18. +9 - after a good front 9, my irons went south on the back 9. Still, I am hitting it solid, just need to aim more right.

Day 584 - 2026-05-08

Light day for reasons that don't need to be covered here. @DeadMan knows. 😉

Day 258 5-8

Getting Arms off body in backswing and downswing is starting to click more. Need to keep speed with my chest and arch wrist through. Recorded and hit foam balls.

Day 5, May 9 (missed May 8).  4' and 6' drills (twice around the clock, eventually, drill).  Took 38 putts for 4', which is close to the bar I want to reach.  I took 48 from 6', which is incredible -- if I were offered before tomorrow's round a guarantee of 50% make rate on 6' putts, I'd happily take it.  Of course, that's a small sample size and I have more improvement ahead of me, but it's still very encouraging!

Day 259 5‐9

focus on getting arms off body today. Still getting the feel of it but a bit better. Did some flow work with wrist arch too. 

[WillieT]

Day 60 (9 May 26) - Late afternoon short session working on getting the trial side loaded and shift into downswing.  Hit a few 1/4 swing chips with 8i to reinforce feels. 

[Clemsonfan]

Day 3: 5/9/26

Almost an hour of indoor chipping and putting.

[DeadMan]

Day 41: another 18. Another 80, but was playing in 20+ mph winds. Hitting is pretty damn solid - one real bad shot all day. Very close. 

[Shindig]

Day 6, May 10.  Played 18, shot an 85 (good for a 12.8 differential).  I'm not happy with how I played overall, as there were three sixes and two sevens on the scorecard, totally preventable.  Gives me more to work on.

Day 260 5-10

arms off body drill, just had too swing many "swing thoughts" tonight. Not great focus. Last few swings started doing better. 

[WillieT]

Day 61 (10 May 26) - Easy session working setup (stance, face position) and getting desired shot shape - from slight draws to baby fades.  While I was using the hard foam balls, I was able to get some decent shaped shots.  

[DeadMan]

Day 42: light day today after a very busy Mother’s Day. Mirror work for a bit, working on my forearm and wrist twist/rotation. 

[Shindig]

Day 7, May 11.  30 minutes in the practice room, about two dozen 6-iron shots.  Primary focus as before.  I also took some video and submitted for Skillest with a few questions.

[DeadMan]

Day 43: unexpectedly got time to go to the range. Short but productive session. Filmed a bunch. Need to make sure my backswing is steeper on full swings, but otherwise getting better.
