Day 54:

Did a lot of rehearsals throughout the day, no club, just feeling arms move around body. Found a tempo and feel that works good for me. Hit some balls with 7-iron incorporating this, and added more rehearsals between balls.

Day 334: Bonus range day because the rain held off. Worked on backswing tempo again and finished with some green side short game work.

Day 89 (24 Sep 21) - Played 18 today.  Was a day where everything seemed a little off - from drives, to approaches to wedges.  One thing was majorly different, we were a little pressed for time to get there and I did not get opportunity to warm up some on the range.  Really think that was key to the "offness" I was sensing.  Repeatable steps in the routine does make a difference.

Day 90 (25 Sep 21) - beach day, so no clubs instead worked on shoulder turns keeping arms crossed, getting the weight transferred and head still.  Knew this was this issue with yesterday’s round, need to keep this as part of my daily routine.

DAY 15:

Driver practice (since I didn't use it on the course).  Absolutely amazed at the power 💥 I'm getting from my new stick...  Planned to be in the pit for 15 minutes... spent 30 'cause this driver is addictive. 😈

Day 57:

Played 18 this morning. A little too much technical thinking going on to play really well, but I am happy with new thought/feel to get me delivering the club to the ball better.

"Every club in my bag" session in my golf pit (60 min)

Range session, ditto (60 min).  Closed out with just the SIM MAX Driver.  So much fun. 😊

I hit the ball so much today, my forearms are sore. 😁

Day 91 (26 Sep 21) - While still at the beach, grabbed the old 9i and a couple of balls and spent about an hour in the never ending sand trap….well, it wasn’t that bad as the sand offered everything from powder (buried/fried egg) to packed (sitting pretty) to flat lies to below/above the feet lies.  Enjoy these sessions as they also give great feedback on the swing arc, especially the packed stuff.

Day 211.  Played 18 today, and really came to life in the second nine.  3 pars, bogey, 3 pars, closed out with two bogeys.   Shot a 39 for the second nine, something I'm not sure I've done at that course before (Hansen Dam).  I've had days where I hit a bunch of GIRs on that second nine, one day it was 7 GIR + 2 near, but I think I shot 40 or 41 on the second nine that day.

    • Day 17:  Practiced with my pitching wedge today.  I haven’t been officially coached on it, but my son has tried to teach me (he’s very good with them) and I just cannot get a hang of his method.  I have a ridiculous move that works quite well for me but I probably shouldn’t get into any bad habits.  
    • Day 566, May 21, 2024 Six-iron swings in the back yard. Felt good. It's hot here, though.
    • Yep. It’s easy to get distracted during the day and hardly drink any water. Our bodies do not have a good systems to warn us early enough. Some tips I like. Drink 16+ ounces of water when you wake up. The body can lose 1-2 lbs of water weight overnight. You are already in the red. If you know you are going to work out, or even walking 9 holes of golf. Drink water before hand and during the exertion. I was curious once, I did a 40 ish minute workout and I lost about 5 lbs of water weight. That is 80 ounces of water I need to replenish. Now I try to drink 24-36 ounces beforehand.  Aim for half an ounce of fluid, per pound of bodyweight, per day. Note, this is baseline not taking into account exercise or strenuous activity. Also, if you eat non processed foods, you can get a good amount through diet. If you eat processed foods, you need to drink more during the day.
    • Anyone in the group play tennis and interested in playing some tennis this weekend while we are away on recreation?  @StuM I messaged you about hotel accommodations please let me know what you can do.
    • That's kind of what I thought.  The ap maybe fine, but Shotscope is so inexpensive and works really well. I'm surprised more golfers don't use it.
