@iacas, I wanted to ensure what I said was clear because I reread my post, I could see where you might misconstrue my words and intentions. I don’t think that’s the case though (I know we have our little “battles” here and there, but at least for my end, there’s a great level of respect). I was trying to wish her well and that I know it is very stressful. I know guys who have the game and they were really worried and barely passed when, in competition or a friendly round, they otherwise play really well. So please don’t take what I said to mean that I was saying she doesn’t have the game. I’m sure she does! Anyway, I just wanted to make that clear here. I apologize if my message was taken the wrong way. I wish her the best of luck. I’m sure she will do well! 

All good.

Day #4

Before league hit the range with impact labels and work on hitting sweet spot. I think it worked because I hit 4 of 6 fairways this afternoon.

Day 95.  I wanted to practice putting, but that green was closed at both courses I checked.  I ended up going home and working on both the wall drill (like yesterday) and live swings (indoors, off a mat, into a net, real balls when a ball was involved) with a 6-iron.

Very light day of practice today. Took a handful of swings working on my priority piece and did some centered pivot work without a club. I still got in about 10 minutes though.

Day #5

Worked on short chip/pitch.  Set up a 3' diameter target and measured off 10 years.  Worked on swinging through the ball with consistent speed with goal of landing i the target.  Worked on LW for shots I want to stop short and 9-Iron for shots I want to run out a little.  Goal is to stop decelerating during my swing which I have a tendency to do.  Hoping to get the feel and trust the shot.  A little better on later shots but still need work on consistency.

Day 96.  Today was supposed to be speed sticks day, but wasn't.  Instead, I did the medicine ball drill from LSW (indoors, on a mat, not sure why I did so on the mat).

    • Question on realistic expectations.  I did a couple of quick google searches, one on "Average Club Head Speed of a 64 year old Amatuer" and one on a 64 year old Professional.  For the amatuer is indicated between 75-85 and for pros @ 105-112.  I am currently @ age 64, High HCP and @ 90mph.  I do not consider myself an above average golfer so I am a little shocked that I may be near the upper range for my age.  Are these stats accurate? I am hoping to get an increase in speed & distance, but if stats from Google are correct I am already a little above average for an amatuer my age so maybe improvement may be limited.  I plan to shoot for as much improvement as possible and am just curious what a reasonal expectation may be.
    • Where do you tend to miss it? When the green is below you, the ball is spending more time in the air, so to the extent that side spin is making it move one way or the other, it has more time to do that and therefore will be affected more. That's why it's so dang hard to hit a fairway that's a long way below you. When the ground gets in the way it stops the slice/hook spin from moving the ball away from the middle. If you play, let's say, a fade, then you want to aim further to the left to allow the fade to move the ball further. That also means if you play for a fade and don't hit a fade you're going to miss by more than you would if the green was at the same level.  I think the person who brought this up is trying to limit the impact of that by hitting it lower so the ball doesn't spend as much time in the air. If that's not how you normally hit it and you haven't practiced it, then it's likely going to be more detrimental than just figuring out how to deal with your normal shot.
