Day 11!

After dinner,  

1. Backswing work A1 to A2 feeling the weight shift to my right foot. Did ball drill, pushing the ball back after weight shift. 
2. Make backswing with left wrist facing away from me. Feels facing down at the ground from A1 to A2.

Day 56 - Reviewed some video of my recent swings, still not getting enough hip turn in the backswing. So I took some swing with an alignment rod through my belt loops, really getting as open as I can.

Day 7.  Spent ten minutes hitting about as many balls with a 6-iron.  Indoors, off a mat, into a net, real balls.  Even though my ball striking is pretty good lately, I don't want to let it falter.

Day 137: Rainy day so I went to the covered range. I hit what appeared to be replicas of asteroids from the Kuiper Belt. There were mostly spherical or oblong and had marks from recent meter hits. The really didn’t resemble golf balls which is unfortunate because that is what I wanted to hit. Needless to say I worked mostly on my drill and aim. Short irons and wedges weren’t affected by the out of round balls as much as the driver.

Day 53 - range day. Working on straighter right elbow off the side early in BS. I haven’t hit this well in a LONG time. It was nice. Actually enjoyed it unlike last couple of range trips

Hit balls for about 45 minutes (and talked for about 30 minutes) this morning. I simplified and shortened. Liked what I was able to do.

Day 442:

Seems like the little strain around the left side of my collarbone is gone, so started superspeed again today. First I warmed up by alternating 30 balls of COVID-19 day-5 drill and full swings with a 6-iron. Then did superspeed workout, followed by about 15 balls with Driver/Mevo.

Day 8.  Spent ten minutes hitting 8-iron and 6-iron indoors, off a mat, into a net.  Took about as many minutes.  Then, I wandered out back to do Speed Sticks.  I haven't read the rules of that encouragement role, but I should:  my last time (before a few minutes ago) using speed sticks, or at least measuring it, was October 25.

Day 55 (Mar 02 2021) took yesterday off - went back to Day 3 of the 30 Day Covid-19 plan.  Know I still keep trying to collapse the trail arm - this is a good revisit to the drills from last April.

Day 9.  Spent a fifteen minute break earlier today hitting 8-iron and 6-iron full swings, off a mat, into a net, real balls, indoors.  Hit about as many balls, careful to make sure I am at practice pace.
