Day 42, June 15.  Played 18 today.  Shot 86, no birdies.  Played the par-3s in +2 and par-5s in +1 (there are only three).  Played the 11 par-4s in a total of +12, three triples and only two pars.  One of those triples was a 4-putt (in my defense, it started at the collar, it's a very long par-4 that required driver 4-wood, and the first putt was from 66').  

I haven't calculated strokes gained yet for the round and I'm very very curious.

Day 80: did about 10 minutes of mirror work while taking a work break. Working on slowing things down to really get these feels down. Need to feel like that front shoulder gets really low.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Driver might be out of the bag indefinitely. All I got for success on camera and ball flight is like 50% swing speed. Anything more and it’s all over the place and strike is all over the clubface.  I got no athleticism/flow right now with what I want to do. It’s too dangerous for me because the swing will just get too long and unstable at P4. It’s very robotic feeling right now.
