Day 48.  Thursday, speed sticks out back in the evening.  Protocol one.  Beat my previous best with all three sticks in the initial bout, but couldn't beat Tuesday's 113 with green on the final (matched it).  Still, 103 with red is pretty nice :-) I forget what the conversion factor is, but I bet that estimates into a decently nice swing speed for my driver.

Day 60 - February 28, 2020

Full swing work again. This is going to be almost everything that I do.

Hit about 30-40 balls, messed around with the Mevo+, and did some video review stuff of the "early" swings. I'll add more to my Member Swing topic later.

Day 85

Hit 30 balls with 7-iron trying to work on making a full turn and not stalling hip/shoulder turn. Contact was pretty crappy.

Day 61 - February 29, 2020

Full swing work again. This is going to be almost everything that I do.

Hit 30 balls or so. It didn't go well, but… I hit them with the basest of understandings of what I was trying to do. I will watch the videos I need to watch later tonight.

Day 50, February 29 2020.  Golf related stretches I got from UGP, aided by a band of some sort I got from them a few months ago.  TBH I probably needed to do this as I'm lifting heavier at the gym (compared to me previously, for the most part, other than my off year) and need to make sure I don't lose flexibility.  I'm out of town for the weekend and didn't bring speed sticks, or that would have been today's.

Day 1, March 1

Cold and windy today so I worked on hip turn with chips in the basement from A6 to A8. I need to continue the pivot in this part of the swing to get lower hands at A6 per my Evolvr lessons.

Day 51, March 1 2020.  I got home from the weekend early enough to do speed sticks (protocol one) in my backyard.  Didn't improve numbers from last time, but it was cold.

    • Day 27 (17 July 26) - Normally an 18 hole day, but due to commitments abbreviated the round to 9 holes (played the back nine at home course).  Had a solid session where even the worst miss (tee shot off 18) was fully playable.  Shot a solid 39 (6pars, 3bogies) - not dbls, no three putts - just boring golf.  
    • Overall, well said. People have to be very careful in trying to describe very complex problem in simple terms. In this case, it is a clear fundamental misunderstanding of Newton's 1st and 3rd laws.  To clarify more on the misinterpretation of Newton's 1st law. The exact interpretation of Newton's 1st Law....  "Every body continues in its state of rest, or of uniform motion in a straight line, unless it is compelled to change that state by forces impressed upon it" yea, a body will stay motionless unless a force acts upon it. An object will stay on its path of motion unless a force acts upon it.  I get it, complex physics problems are difficult. There is a lot of simplification done in most physics class when it is taught. A classic problem uses a frictionless surface. Projectile motion excludes drag and wind direction. Collisions are usually elastic. The golf swing is not a simple physics problem.  Yea, I think they got caught up the data on the graphs and are not truly understanding cause and effect.  If the golfer isn't first pushing into the ground, then the ground isn't going to push back.  The internal forces of the body create the motion, not the external forces from the ground. The ground isn't like what Psy uses to start his concert. 🤣 You probably need to be connected to the ground and have those GRF to help the body produce the motion you want. Your body has to move in the right way to produce the GRF which helps you move the body in the way you want. Body motion precedes the GRF.
