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.

low point control using towel on the ground. Making a bit of progress there.  No ball. Worked on lowering arm, hit foam balls. Recorded

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.

Day 43, June 16.  Hit two dozen balls today (two sessions of a dozen each).  Exaggerating even more the process of shortening my backswing.
