Well I'm at 276 consecutive days. 1/1/18: I did my path drill indoors today. For those of you who don't know what this is, it involves 2 to 4 water or soda bottles a club and a foam ball. I

Day 12  November 24.   Worked through 30 drills from the book, "How to Train for Golf Like an Olympian"   I am on Day 7 of the 25 day Tour 25 Blueprint Challenge.  Some days like yesterday I was not able to go through the program because the course was closed, and other days when I play golf I am not able to go through it.  So I only count those days where I can devote 4 hours to it... like today.  Each drill sequence takes 8 plus minutes so 240 minutes later I was done.  Since the program involves 8 hours a day, and I am only doing 4 hours, I will be on this for 50 half days to reach completion, unless my body stops aching :-)

I will be playing golf twice in the next week so I am looking forward how my range work is translating to the course.

Day 330 - November 24, 2020

Did a bunch of slow motion backswing drills near a wall, partly to test out something for my students and partly because it's my part of the golf swing.

Day 347

Did rehearsal backswing practice in patio door mirror. Then did some tempo drills with 7-iron hitting balls at about what felt like 75% speed.

DAY 13  November 25.   Out early and worked on my chipping/pitching for a couple of hours.  I think I am finally getting more comfortable with the Chip-Putt approach.  Hit lots of balls... to various targets... and with a change to my grip, and stance... it went very well.... Competence then Confidence :-)   Now the Hinge and Hold technique is in a different place in regards to Competence.

Went to the putting green for 90 minutes.  I always start with a Technical/Technique Drill... usually the Pelz Putting Tutor to check if I am able to consistently start the ball on line.  Then did two different distance control drills.  One with putts in the 15-20 foot range and the other in the 30-70 foot range.

Wishing all that read this a VERY Happy Thanksgiving... and particular thanks to The Moderator for bringing this Forum to life.

Day 3 Week 5

Spent a chunk of time with my 8 iron on 1/4 and 1/2 swing hitting the ball.  

I don't know why but when I want to learn how and work on a swing my 8 iron is my go to club to start to get the feel for it.

Day 331 - November 25, 2020

Took a break (while watching videos I had to watch for a thing) to make backswing in the patio door glass. The videos kept playing. Fun. 😛

Day 332 - November 26, 2020 - Thanksgiving

Went downtown for two hours to hit balls. Spent an hour of that on the phone with my mom, but got in a good hour of practice after that. Wasn’t quite as good as the other day, but I slowed it down, shortened it up, and had some good success after that.

DAY 14  November 26.  Happy Thanksgiving!!!   Stayed at home today with the family.  However, I did get some time in my office to make practice swings using my Impact Ball and shortened 5 iron.  Working on my rotation and less swaying in the backswing.

Day 78 - Hurt my ankle this morning, so I took it easy most of the day. Worked on the Covid Day 1 drills, still focusing on the early part of my backswing.

      Where Is Your Focus Point at Set up?

      This is what I do. Clearly I need to do something else.

      What on Earth Does That Mean? Golf Marketing

      By ChetlovesMer ·

      That was a very well thought out and intelligently formulated response.  Of course, I know that marketing departments have to kneel to the legal departments. I remember a similar case study about the use of the word "whitening" in toothpaste ads or on the packaging. Incidentally, P&G was smack in the middle of that one, but this time came out on top.  I can still giggle at them though. "Oh man, I have to run out to Golf Galaxy and get the new Taylormade irons!"  .... "Haven't you heard? They have improved playability!" ... "I've been saying for years that I wish somebody would improve the playability of my irons!"  Interestingly enough, "Improved Workability" was often used quite a lot in the article. I kind of feel like I know what that means though. When I see "Improved Workability" I hear "Less Forgiving".

      Downswing Hand Speed

      By billchao ·

      My guess is the arms need to go along the arc and not straight down. If you narrow the hand arc you reduce the time you have to accelerate which means you’ll hit your peak speed with your hands closer to the ball.

      I'm offended that you are offended! Intent matters a lot. Certain words have a much smaller window of intent. In this case he said a word that has very few instances that it would be deemed acceptable. This was not one of those cases.

      What on Earth Does That Mean? Golf Marketing

      By billchao ·

      All marketing has uses fluff words and phrases. Advertising copy isn’t necessarily meant to describe anything concrete; if anything, most of it is written specifically to elicit emotional responses.
