Day 175

Played 18 - start to the round was really rough, so gave up scoring after 6 holes and tried some  different feels to see how they worked on course. Eventually settled in on one that seemed to be effective, but not until the 15th hole.

Day 60 - went to the range today with new irons and hit the ball much better than last week. Still working on club back & up with focus on right elbow position at A3-A5. Shortening my backswing. My impact is improving as my timing gets better with new clubs and shafts...35mins

Day 93 - played 9 and shot a 41. When I thought about palmar flexion, overdraws and hooks happened. When I went with the “no flexion feel”, things straightened out. I just think I am over doing it on the course. I think the wrist is flattening at the top and I am just adding too much. 
 

Made a GIR in a very tough par 4 for me today. 170 out after a decent drive and I punched a 3H on from the right rough.

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

Hit balls for a few minutes between lessons today while @billchao was working, too.

Day 176

Lots of protesting going on around my home, so constant drone of circling police and news helicopters was unsettling. Just did some backswing work with 5-iron, and hit a few balls.

Day 94 - Played 9 as a single and they sent me out alone. I had plenty of time to practice around the greens while waiting after holing out. Beautiful day.

Day 9 - 6/2/20 (8/9)

After failing yesterday...spent 10 minutes on the Puttist during morning conference calls working on a steady, even stroke.  My worst putts tend to be when I get really quick and "slap" at the ball.

    • Wordle 1,047 5/6 ⬜⬜🟩🟩⬜ ⬜⬜🟩🟩⬜ ⬜⬜🟩🟩⬜ ⬜🟨🟨🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Mis-read that par putt 🤬
    • Day 48. Got out at lunch to the range to hit some driver shots. Haven’t had much practice there. Focused on setup suggested by @iacas and found some very playable results. I did try to hit a couple of bunker shots after that with much less success 🙃
    • Got a rare birdie on #18 Par 5.  Drive was good and left me in range of the green.  I was @ 210 from the center and needed @ 180 to clear a hazard area.  Green had bunkers lest, right and on back. had been struggling and most shots were short so I took the 225 club figuring back of green hit well. i did hit it well, @ 229 per SS and dead on—kind at the pin.  Ended up @ 1 foot off the back in short rough and lucky for me it was a back pin placement.  Chipped about 15 feet leaving a 3 feet putt for par which I sunk.  
    • Yea, so to clarify for me. I do not feel the clubface much in the swing. I feel the weight of the club. I can feel if I hit the club off the heel or toe. When I try to feel if the clubface is open or closed in the swing, I feel it more with my hands, and less of the clubhead. I would classify majority of my swings as not feeling like the clubface does much of all. It feels like I hold the clubface open. In the finish, it doesn't feel like my left hand faces the ground. It feels more like it faces the sky. I will try to be more aware of this, but it was just the sensation I got when I was making what felt like good swings. For the most part, I was hitting slight draws or slight pushes.  On this golf trip, I had to hit a low 8 iron around a tree to the green. I made an alignment adjustment, and actively try to roll my hands a bit more to get it to sling around the corner. I do have a habit of not adjusting how the clubface comes through impact, and I can still hit the ball straight-ish even moving the ball way back in my stance and trying to swing out more.  Yea, my feels are more hands and arms, less actually feeling the clubface.
