Day 8: 2026.01.10

Played eighteen holes, trying to incorporate changes. Much more comfortable with grip, just trying to keep the focus on weight distribution through the swing.

Loooooong day. Did some work in the patio door (as a mirror) when I got home.

Day 11, 1/11/26.  Today was putting, along about 6' of carpet, with coins on the ground to keep me cognizant of what I'm doing.  I think this is the at-home drill from LSW.

(Ugh, missed two of the last four days -- 1/10 and 1/8)

Day 47: simulator day! Played St. Andrew’s and shot a +1. Not bad, especially with having to putt at this simulator set up. Had about 5 minutes at the end to work on some feels as well.

Day 152 1-12

More reps bowing wrists in downswing. Still pausing at the top. Making sure to get to lead side and getting the ball to go left. Slow progress is better than no progress.

Day 469 - 2026-01-12

Got some work in while some players were using the sim, so I had to stick around. 🙂 Good thing too, since… I hadn't yet practiced today until about 6:45 tonight. 😛

Day 48: mirror work after a long, annoying day. Focused mostly on backswing and getting a bit more width.

Day 12, 1/12/26.  Played 18 today.  Range was closed so I couldn't do that as warm-up.  I haven't had a chance to edit and sign the ShotScope round yet, but I think I did very well driving (despite one lost ball), approach (I hit a ton of collars, amusingly) and even putting.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By JetFan1983 · Posted

      Shot a 37 today! Palmer Course, PGA National. Really fun. 6/9 GIR, no lost balls. The double and the bogey were both three putts from like 35 feet or so.  The birdie at the last was really fun. I stood over that fifteen footer and thought wow I’m really about to make this, aren’t I? And I hearted it. Really fun. It’s like 9000 degrees outside but I battled through it well. Good times.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By bkuehn1952 · Posted

      I had been in a bit of a slump for the month of June. Handicap index has slowly risen, and there were few sub-80 scores. Today was a different story at Leslie Park GC. Lots of solid shots, GIR's, up & downs, for a 77 (7.8 differential). As with most rounds, there were a few loose shots and crappy putts, but it was a good day.

      Day 6  (26 Jun 26) - Played 18 today in the Friday men's group shootout.  Would love to say it was an awesome round, but it wasn't  - had a tough day with the putter (especially on the front - short putts missing left or right or just short - just could not get a feel for the greens).
