Day 1...I’m going to start this up again.  Had three or four ten minute breaks today where I worked on my backswing.  Hinging the club head up quicker and getting the club more vertical when left arm is parallel.  Lot of slow swings and hit some balls at a slower pace and then hit a few drivers at full speed trying to keep those feels.

Day 13  December 16.  Warmed up on the range and then played 18 holes.  Now I am home, and will be doing a little putting down the ruler, work in my office with my shortened 7 iron and Impact Ball.  Then later this evening I will be on a 90 minute call focusing on how to take it from the range to the course.

As it relates to score..  I shot 77 today.... which continues my downward trend on that particular course.   With the practice I have been putting in, I have been hitting the ball better...maybe too good! :-)  I have focused on my wedges a little in the last month to improve my contact, so today, on the first hole, I airmail the green with a wedge!!  Into the water, then up and down, starting with a double bogey -- not how I envisioned the round going, ... so I was timid/unsure the rest of the round when I had a wedge in my hand... resulting in very poor proximity to the hole.  I still short 4 over par, with 14 GIR.  So ball striking better... lots of wedge work to do... before playing the course again.

Day 368

Warmed up hitting some balls into my net with 7-iron, and it was light enough to get some film so I recorded a bit.

Did a superspeed workout, and then hit some foam balls with driver. Tried to record, but video wasn't great because it was getting pretty dark. Might try to send a clip to my teacher anyway to see what if there is anything glaring that she can pick up. I have not been hitting driver well at all lately.

Day 352 - December 16, 2020

A good 45-minute session, though I'm annoyed that my Blast data didn't sync up and save. I had a really good session.

DAY 14  December 17th    Third day of the Tour25 BluePrint Challenge.  I completed 20 different drills... each requiring me to hit 8 shots.  Between drills I hit three balls with the Swingwyde connected to my 3 wood.  Then hit a dozen drivers to finish off the session.  So 232 balls hit today.  Total time a little over 3 hours.  Wish I had gone back to the practice area after lunch -- "need better discipline"

Day 369

Watched Charlie Woods hitting balls with Tiger and felt profoundly shitty at golf. Went outside and worked on some tempo drills. Then did a little takeaway/backswing practice in the mirror.

Day 354 - December 18, 2020

Good 30 minutes working on the initial takeaway and getting to just about 2.7 or so. Video I took earlier in the week shows this:

Is there one or two main things you use it for?  I don’t know a ton about it but from looking at the site I’m still a little confused.

      Day 49. Played 9 from tees a bit beyond my comfort zone and was humbled. Hit a couple good shots so will take that at least.

      What'd You Shoot Today?

      By saevel25 ·

      +12 47, and never lost a ball or had a penalty. Got the snap hooks off the tee for the first 3 holes. So, playing the punch out game. Probably had like 20 putts. Bad short game day. The greens were weirdly firm but slow. I just don’t get spin out of the rough. I had a SW, with good height hit middle half of the green and end up almost off the back of the green. I know what I was doing with the full swing. Bad habits creeping in.

      9 years and counting. Lil chipped paint here and there but still going strong. Also have an 18 deg driving iron that I got a couple of years ago which is doing well too. @iacastried it and I think he liked it.
