Day 92 (27 Sep 21) - worked extensively on pre-shot routine today - grip, shot flight, landing area, alignment (shoulders, hips, feet).  Even though I kept the shots to the backyard, the focus was on repeating the setup steps no matter the shot distance, to ingrain a good solid pre-shot routine.

Day 212.  Did the ruler putting drill (indoors, on a carpet) several times this evening, focusing on shoulder movement.  Did well but didn't keep explicit track of how well.

Day 93 (28 Sep 21) - Tried a new routine in my practice round.  Taking a cue from @iacas and their recent round of Best/Worst I read where ChiChi Rodriguez said he would do Worst Ball practice rounds.  Tried it this morning at Minnesott as I knew I would be playing Best Ball this afternoon.  Sure is hard to hit your 2nd shot from 20yds back when one tee shot was not that good.  Also when on the green, having a putt run past meant paying the penalty.  Really made for a strong day of course management.

Day 213.  Wind-down when I got home today was ten minutes practicing quarter swings with my pitching wedge : a shot I didn't hit particularly well a few days ago, mechanically.

Day 94 (29 Sep 21) - Had a good round of 8i and Birdie Ball in the backyard today.  Worked on the pre-shot routine and getting the shot to land where I planned. Funniest moment was when my grandson hit his onto the back deck and without hesitation said, “Paw-paw let’s not tell YaYa!”  Was likely the most confident and comfortable session of swinging an iron of late.  Hope to carry that same feel and comfort to the course next time out.

Day 214.    Relaxation after work was ten minutes hitting quarter shots with my pitching wedge, focused on technique (as all was inside, off a mat, into a net, but real balls).

Day 95 (30 Sep 21) - Got to play 18 at RiverBend today.  Used the "slow" pace to make changes in the club choices, i.e. not just hitting the same clubs I usually do when at those distances on the holes.  It made for an interesting round of scrambling at nearly every hole as I was getting on with the third on the fours and fours on the fives.  Chipping was the best ever today with the 8i and 9i.  Had good pitches with the 52deg wedge.  I am stoked that this part of the game is coming around.  Learning to quiet the mind and the body to get things working in harmony.

Day 61:

Same as yesterday. Impact dispersion on the face not as good as yesterday, but still pretty good for me.

Day 20:

Golf pit session with SHOT VISION app for a launch monitor (60 min).

I've serious doubts that the DISTANCES reported are accurate.  However, it's nice to have some sort of measurable for comparisons. 💡

    • I thoroughly enjoyed Erik ripping the article apart. Well done sir.  
    • Day 47. Technique practice into the net working on evolvr feedback for 15 minutes. 
    • Day 10- Worked on grip and keeping swing short. 
    • Yes, slightly. Hitting driver and three wood much better, generally straight or a slight draw, Especially since I upgraded from ping G 410 to G 430. Both clubs have 2degrees more loft. That together with a slight swing  change, improved technology ,definitely getting more distance.  On the downside not hitting my ions as well as normal, pitching definitely improving, especially for someone who got to a four handicap 30 years ago and couldn’t pitch . Chipping a bit up and down, pardon the pun, that was definitely one of the reasons I got to that  handicap when I played many moons  ago, ( I stopped playing for 20 years), better short putter than I was before Had quite a few opportunities to shoot my age, 73, mostly didn’t chip as well as I could when I had the chance. 
    • Finally, birthday number seven, just short in two & pitched to about 5 feet.  front nine all done! Also, got a lucky eagle on three, caught a nine iron a smidge  fat, never left the  pin landed short and rolled in the hole
