Day 20: Played 18 today. Foggy at the beginning. My rangefinder didn’t work!😜 Played OK. My driver is coming along nicely. My long irons, 3W and hybrid need work.

Day 299 - October 22, 2020

Did some putting while messing with an audio sync issue on the new TV. I think resetting the DirecTV might help fix it, but stuff is recording right now. 😄

The new living room carpet will not really work for putting at all. It's very "textured."

Day 123.  Yesterday (10/21) was the second miss within 30 days (yesterday + 10/13;  previous miss was more than 30 days ago).

Today, I did 45 minutes of putting practice, around the clock drills from 4', generally around 24 putts to finish the twelve,  thus averaging around 50% from 4' -- not good enough. 

Why am I able to do the ruler drill so well and miss so many within 4'?  Do they break that much?

Day 314

Did takeaway/backswing work. Not quite there with nixing the right hand regrip mid backswing, although significantly improved.

Still searching for a feel/thought for completion of backswing.

Day 316

Worked on figuring out a feel/thought to take on course for what I’m working on lately. Came to “right hand, right heel” as the mantra. “Right hand” part to not move my right hand into a strong grip during takeaway. “Right heel” part to get my weight pressure into the inside of my right heel, which means I’ve done a good turn.

Hit about 30 balls, using this thought.

Day 125.  Played 18.  Drove it poorly, putted worse.  Approached decently well, chipped like a champ. 

I made my first-ever birdie at hole 16 my home course, which has been my home course since mid-2008.   That hole was the last hole for me to make a par on it once upon a time too.  Missed the green but chipped in! :-)

      For Sale: Three HackMotion 3.0 Units

      By iacas · Posted

      When I first upgraded my three HackMotion 3.0 devices to 4.0 devices, I was told to discard the 3.0 devices. 😛 I asked them why I couldn't sell them (or give them away) to another person rather than contributing to electronics waste, and was told they were working on a program to do just that. The program is now finally here, so… I have three HackMotion 3.0 devices for sale. Straight from HackMotion: The Core license is $275 (with a 3.0 unit) if purchased from HackMotion (the extra $125 gets you the hardware): Golf Swing Analyzer & Wrist Angle Training Aid | HackMotion Fix common golf swing faults, improve ball flight and master clubface control with the help of the HackMotion wrist sensor. If you'd like more info, send me a DM.
