Played nine holes. Learning to trust. Backswing is good.

    • Day 18: mirror work after another long day (boy, I hope I can stop saying that soon!). Worked on feels for getting my shoulder down and more of the twist. 
    • If you go to the Titleist site and use the interactive ball fitting tool, does it agree that the Velocity is the ball for you? I used the tool and it suggested the Pro V1 for me with mid-flight, soft feel, low spin off driver and long irons, and very high short game spin. This topic made me curious, and Titleist is having an in-person ball fitting at the range where I hit balls on Friday, so I signed up. When I first saw the sign advertising a ball fitting, I chuckled and thought who would do that? I guess the answer is I would, no idea what to expect. Fitting is blocked out in 30-minute intervals, still boggles my mind what could I be doing for half an hour, I shall find out.
    • Day 213 7-14 Did my usual practice with trail arm getting wider in downswing. Added some speed tonight and it actually looked OK. Recorded and hit foam balls. 
    • Day 24 (14 July 26) - Usual nine-hole session with my good friend, however as I was scheduled to work at the course this afternoon I opted to play the other nine solo in a two ball-worst ball format.  The challenge of playing the "worst" of two balls really forces the concentration to execute more consistent shots and also allowing course management working from less than optimal lies.  Started rough but by the last few holes, shot execution settled into a more consistent pattern of predictability. Great session.
