Day 83: Did my drill to help me get the sweet spot path more inside: one handed, right armed swings. Working on keeping the right elbow and wrist a bit more bent, also working on my turn. Drill is looking like I want it to - pretty solid.

Day 139 - May 16, 2020

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

Played 18 holes today. Got a birdie on 17, which made the day worthwhile. Down to five birdies left after 6.5 rounds.

Day 160

Played at a local par-3, 9-hole course because the 18 hole course was running about 80 minutes late on tee times because they ran out of carts and don’t bother sending people out walking.

The course is in dogshit condition, and it’s also a disc golf course, and more people were out playing disc golf than ball golf. Almost witnessed a disc golf ace.

Most of the tee shots were partial/flighted sand wedges around 75-110 yards which was great practice for me. Me and my buddy were mostly goofing around and hitting multiple balls, but for my “scoring ball” I shot a 34 (+7) with 9 GIR/nGIR. Longest hole was playing 165, so hit a 7-iron for my only full swing of the day.

Day 78 - Worked on shortening the backswing slightly for better contact. It is working well for partial wedges and short irons and I wanted to see how it worked with longer irons. I feel like I am over swinging a bit on the course.

Day 161

Started off working on a swing thought/feel to help keep hips and shoulders from stalling. Had plans for a superspeed workout too, but it started raining so practice cut short this evening.

Day 162

Hit balls with 7-iron working on not stalling rotation. Seems like the stalling is due to a sequencing/tempo problem and when that is good I don’t stall. The swing thought/feel seems to help for whatever reason.

Also did a superspeed workout.

Day 48 - PP work (club back & up w/good right elbow position) with slow backswings followed by 1/2 speed downswings. 
 

Using new 6i (from old cavity backs to muscle-back type club), ball contact was better than yesterday’s as I get used to smaller club head. Feels great with better strikes, but definitely feels more “off” with off-centered contact.

    • Day 5: did a stack session. Did some slow swings between sets, working on hands down. 
    • So, I might have to get out of the C-Taper golf shaft. I have an older Mizuno with a KBS Tour shaft in. I was messing around with closing my eyes and feeling where the weight of the club is being felt at. The C-Taper was all in my fingers. I didn't feel much of anything of the club head or shaft of the club. It felt super heavy in my hands. The KBS Tour I could feel a weight further away from my hands, out in space.  The Mizuno weights 2 grams more, but is about 2-3 swing weights lighter than my current irons.  So, yea. I am thinking I might sense the club better with maybe a less stout golf shaft and maybe a lighter swing weight. Probably more to do with the golf shaft. I am thinking the feeling of the weight out in space is more of the shaft loading more easily. 
    • Day 25 (2 Apr 26) - Worked on green side chips at the course before helping with the school golf tournament today.  Worked on low flighted spinners to get solid hop and stops.  
    • Day 227 4-2 Chest and hip turn with flow drill. Trying to get a rhythm to the hip movement/less segmented feeling. 
    • A bit back at it tonight. I just wanted to add in the feel of a softer left arm through out the backswing. This helps me hinge the club. I make sure I am not bending it a ton, but not straightening it. It helps feel like I can keep the club in front of me more and lift the club up sooner.
