Day 367

Started out this morning's golf trials by watching one of my favorite golf instructional dvds. "Bad Golf Made Easier" with Leslie Nielson. I believe the video is also on You Tube if want to watch it. Lot of good stuff on how to make the rules of golf work for you, instead of against you. 

After that, was some warm up time on the driving range in preperation for a 10:45 tee time in a senior tourney. . 

Went through most of my bag. Focus was just on warming up, to hopefully get off to good start today. 

We are in the first tee line up as I post this. Should be a great day, no matter the out come.

Day 89, January 3

Mirror work at the gym. Focused on head position at set up per my latest Evolvr lesson. It was a bit too far forward. Also worked on pitch elbow and turning through impact. I hope to hit balls at home if it doesn't get too dark.

DAY 404     Spent a couple hours at the range, but was too tired to do more.  I worked through a series of 7 drills that focus on positions in the swing from Set-up to Follow-through. These come from the book, "Train for Golf Like an Olympian"    

After showering and lunch, I headed to my monthly hour long workshop on the mental aspects of golf taught by Bill Nelson of the Mind Management Academy.  This is the 5th session of his that I have attended.  Among other things discussed was the video below about the mental side of Tiger Woods golf.  It is 5 minutes long and has LOTS of useful insights.

Day 172:

A basic travel day back home after visiting my brother.  So limited to using the Orange Whip® at rest stops and upon arrival back home. The 15 minutes at each stop to concentrate on the tempo of backswing and the feeling of the shift of weight on the downswing.  Can't wait to use the whip to set a tempo model for me to follow both with the driver and a mid iron, such as my 6i.  A week of just the whip needs to translate now to the club in my hand.  

Fanget an!

Day 18:

Did some work today on my setup position and watched videos on hitting up on the driver. I’m ready to not be sick, and have better weather.

Spent 30 minutes at home working on backswing using mirror vision app.

Day 83: Still just doing mirror work. Working on that feel of soft wrists in transition. Going to the range tomorrow; hopefully I'll get some video.

Day 2.  Spent 20 minutes hitting over three dozen quarter swings with a 56 degree wedge in my practice room (indoors, off a mat, into a net).  The goal was to feel the contact, not fat contact, not thin contact.

Day 4, January 4:

 

30 min rotating putting setup changes along with steady head and slow mo backswing feels for the full swing. Same stuff, working on keeping the club narrow early in the backswing and right tricep touching side to shorten the backswing.  Will read some lowest score wins later.

Day 368

Just some indoor putting this morning as it is still below freezing out side. 

My usual regimine of rolling the ball over a coin, 18+/- inches in front of the ball. This too simulate hitting a straight putt on my chosen line. I enhance this practice by leaving the coin stationary, and rolling balls over it from different directions.  

Plans are for our normal crew to get together, and play 18 holes later today

Day 90, January 4

Mirror work at the gym focusing on head position at set up and then right elbow during transition to A7-8. Finished with a golf specific resistance band workout.

Hope to hit balls later and film too.

DAY 405    The weather was great!!  80 degrees in early January here in Sarasota, FL   I continued working on improving my swing speed using the JetStick from MACH 3, and working through the drills from pages 170-173 of "Train For Golf Like an Olympian."  There are 19 different drills, which takes a little over 3 hours to complete.  The drills focus on Positions in the Swing, Club Awareness and Improving Your Swing Motion.  In between drills I swung my Orange Whip to improve my flexibility, and tempo and my sequencing.  I finished by hitting 20 drivers to a simulated fairway.  I was 17/20 in the fairway.... I missed a couple right and one I pulled.  Felt good but tired after being out there over 4 hours.

Day 4 - 4th January

just 30 minutes today. I set-up my golf plane practise aid and worked on my set-up, takeaway, arm / shoulder / club alignment at top of my swing, and dropping into slot on downswing. I initially did this for my 8, then removed the aid and hit shots with my 5i and 3w using some principles. I felt like I accomplished something positive!

Day 325 - January 4, 2019 - Played nine holes.

[HJJ003]

Day 19:

18 holes of pull back. 48 putts. Not sure what a good number is for a 20 capper, but a lot of room for improvement here. Will get back to my speed control drills.

Day 84: Went to the range and worked on my priority piece for about an hour. Looks pretty decent on video, although could be a little bit better I'm sure. There is definitely a difference in the picture since November, so that's really good!
