Day 60, July 24, 2021:

Played 18 today… front 9 was awful! I missed every fairway on the front to the right, and only made 1 par on the front ugly side.

Back 9 I was a little lubricated and shot 35 (-1). I played with a few guys I went to high school with at my old home course, so it was a fun day. (We switched the teams up after 9 holes so it’d be a little more fair)

Day 29Β  (25 Jul 21) - PW and 8i work in the backyard, this time with a water hose green outline (see pics) to give a more specific target area.Β  Made it "not round" but rather contourish to mimic what is seen on the course. Makes for thinking through to have much more accurate shot making as the goal was to land not not roll "off the green" (outside the hose line...

Didn’t realize that my hand position at address was shitty so I worked on that. Not the grip, more than my arms need to be more vertical than they were.
