Day 106.  Played 18 with some friends.  Didn't play particularly well, but I drove the ball well (one of my highest driving averages in memory, plus most fairways too for whatever that's worth).

Light day, did some mirror work and drills getting to A2. Didn't feel the energy to take swings. Lazy Sunday.

Yesterday: day off practice

Day 296

Indoor putting practice. Playing 9 tomorrow morning.

Day 107.  Speed sticks, protocol two, outback.  The numbers seem to be coming down, making me wonder if some group of data collection was off.  Either way, recent rounds indicate longer drives (a little noticeable) and marginally longer irons (yesterday, I had the right distance for an iron to a forward pin and flew the green... that may have been an aberration though).

Day 36 - Played 18, hit it better today.

Day 56

Similar practice routine but a shift in my focus. The swing feels very natural so I am moving on to focus on maintaining my angles throughout the swing. I tend to stand up a bit through impact and want to eliminate that. I'm still leaving all the controls in place (alignment stick through basket) that I used to work on eliminating OTT so it's not as if I'm stopping working on that. I'm just shifting what I think is my priority piece right now.

Day #4

More putter practice in the office.

Day 297

Played 9 this morning. Made it through the round with a single ball and no penalties. Ball striking was really good considering my recent shanking issues during practice. Only two sketchy full swing strikes; one with driver and one with hybrid, both were off the heel and pushed right, but both stayed in play.

Around and on the greens was a different story. Putting and short game were pretty bad. Greens were small, really fast, and severely undulated, and I just couldn’t get a sense of how to play on them until around the 6th hole. Had a couple 4 putts from inside 15 feet, and pitched onto the green and had the ball roll all the way off the other side several times.

Ended up scoring 47, but I’ll take the bad score with solid ball striking as a win.

Day 21 - played in modified scramble today. Hit it well today

[boogielicious]

Day 7, played 18 by myself again today. Got to the course and no one was there. Played in 2:20 walking. Had a few bad shots, but for the most part played pretty well. I shortened my swing a bit for better control. My distance is down since my injury, so I have been going up a club for approach shots.

Day 282 - October 5, 2020

Played nine holes. Hit a great pair of shots on the seventh, but then hit my putt one-handed while talking on the phone with the other with a college kid. Could have made eagle. Probably wouldn't have, but they were two great shots. Great hybrid on 4, good second shot on 1, great 3W on 8 with a good 9I after that. Good tee shot on 5.

Lots of good shots.
