Day 41

Did, throw the ball drill. Needed a break from hitting golf balls. My neck is sore

Day 265

Superspeed workout and more work on my priority piece with slow 7-iron swings. The feel that was working well seems to have gone dead so I’m a bit lost at the moment. Going to film and email teacher tomorrow and see how I’ve progressed. Lesson next week, so it’ll get sorted out soon regardless.

Day 75.  Some combination of 12 holes of match play (I "won," 1 up) and "let's hit balls, but on the course."  Of course, I focused on my usual for my swings, but without the wall drill available on the course.  I hit some very good shots today on a golf course, although the goal wasn't really on keeping score or even following the usual rules (like picking a tee box consistently).  

This was at a private course where a friend of mine is a member;  we got onto the course with a few hours before sundown, after work, to play what we could.

Day 24

Did an hour on the range and finally got some slo-mo video too post on my swing thread but when I upload it to YouTube it shows up in regular speed (Iphone x). If anyone knows how to fix this please pm me so as not to derail this thread.

Day 42

Went to the Practice Area and focused solely on Wedges. Went thru all the wedges on full swing.  Then I spent time hitting my pitching wedge using my putter swing.  I am really liking this approach from the fairways on short shots up to 80 yards.  It is accurate and really no fat shots.

Day 249 - Sept 2, 2020

Played the hell-day (pin position) pro-am scramble at Kahkwa today. 18 holes, and a lot of coaching the other four players…

Day 31:  Played 9 holes this morning.  Not the best round ever.  Kind of a reality check after the weekend I had with the driver.  I thought I had found something that was working.  The problem was not knowing exactly what it was.  Also missed a couple 3-4 foot putts.  Good news was the short game was good today.  

[Shindig]

Day 76.  Played match play with a friend, 16 holes (stopped due to lack of light).  Was up by 4 with 2 holes to go when we stopped (we were more keeping track of up/down than a strict match play).  Overall score with ESC and the two missed holes posted appropriately was an 88 on a tough course -- a great outing!

Day 266

Decided to turn my practice session into a workout. Warmed up with some 7-iron 9-3 swings focusing on priority piece. Then hit about 50 balls as hard as I could with a full backswing. Cooled off with some partial wedge shots and pitching practice, about another 50 balls.

Day 6 - More hip work, filmed my swing for Evolvr.

Day 25

Probably TMI but I did a very light session today since I'm in prep for a Colonoscopy tomorrow. If I pull off practice tomorrow I'll be surprised. Maybe some mirror work since I will be in the bathroom most of the day 😂. 

Focus today was just on getting to the top and trying to get to A5 and A6 on plane. Lots of focus on my weight shift since I tend to fall down with my head towards the ball a bit.

Day 32:  Went to the short game practice facility in a nearby suburb.  Worked chips, pitches, and sand shots.  Threw a few flops in there too.

Day 42

Great range session.  Focused on PW, 48*, 52* & 56* wedges. All at full swing then half swing with each. Finished with PW using putter swing for pitching.

Then I went to the launch monitor and hit my 5 wood and Driver.  The Driver is getting more and more consistent.

Day 250 - Sept 3, 2020

Hit some chips before a lesson today working on technique.

Day 267

Superspeed session, and then same thing as yesterday, but with driver. Got swing speed up to 115, while making decent strikes.

[Shindig]

Day 77.  Played 18 after work with a friend.  Shot an 87, which is very good for the course I played.  I had to play the 18th in the dark, and laid up on a par-4 because I wanted to know if I had carried the water and wouldn't be sure in the lack of daylight.  Five sixes, including on a par-3, and still shot an 87.

Day 7 - Played 9. Putting was garbage, short game was inconsistent, driver was off. Scorecard was mostly pars and doubles, not ideal. Scramble tomorrow morning, hope I can be our “safe drive” guy. Not sure after today...

Day 26

Managed to get in a 10 minute practice this morning. Did 50% swings focusing solely on an exagerated feel at the start of the downswing to get the club more on plane. It looked great on film. The plan is to repeat this for a few days and then slowly up the speed to see if I can get it to stick in my full swing.
