Day 225.  Same as yesterday:  after work, I hit punch shots (5-iron, indoors, off a mat, real balls, into a net) and then did chip shots with the 54.  Five minutes each.

Day 106 (12 Oct 21) - played 9 today, as I had a narrow window of time in which to play.  Was pretty deserted so I was able to take my time and work on shot options, for example - sitting about 50yds out do I use the 54 to flight it on or the 8i to bump and run.  Made for some interesting shots and great learning.

Day 353: Played 18 walking today. I wasn’t particularly good off the tee, but made good approach shot and my short game was good.

Day 107 (13 Oct 21) - Got in 9 today with son and grandson.  Worked on the approach game as my tracking data shows I am consistently short of green.  Purposed to club up from what I thought it should require. Had more GIR and nGIR in the round.  Proved I really need to work on truly learning my distances.

Day 74:

Started off with some backswing practice indoors with LVP camera. No ball, just working on shoulder turn, and getting depth by turning shoulders and not moving arms excessively (lead arm adduction). Also noticed something totally off about my right hand grip, which I worked on correcting, might post this in my swing thread later as a reminder to not be such a dummy.

Day 227.  I got home at about 10pm and spent 5 minutes hitting punch shots with my 5-iron (the usual).  I wanted to spend more, but I am exhausted right now.

Day 108 (14 Oct 21) - Played 18 with the minister from my church.  We opted to be the first out at 7:30 this morning, dew was heavy last night, real heavy.  We are talking rooster tail heavy.  Long story short, today was a lesson on dealing with soggy greens, little to no roll out off the carry, etc.  Forced me to club up where possible to maximize carry as I knew bounce and roll-out were not my friend.  As such several swings were the old "I've got to kill it to get it over there" mentality, had to force myself to step back on several occasions and say, "see it, feel it, trust it."  Definitely a great lesson on adjusting the game to fit the conditions.

Day 75:

Continued to work on backswing with LVP camera indoors with a 9-iron, and then moved outside while there was still a bit of light to do some downswing practice. Worked more on trail hand grip correction I identified the other day while doing this. I have an on again-off again struggle with flipping and the grip correction seems to have quieted the issue, but now that I have a more robust/firm grip, I definitely need to focus on face control more intently since I am not flipping the face closed through impact. Hit some balls with 8-iron; go to the top of backswing, do a palmar flexion rehearsal to delivery position, and then going back to the top and making a swing. Then hit some (almost golf) balls with driver doing the same thing. With both clubs, contact moved away from heel to center-face/toe-ish, but well within my 10 handicap sweet spot.

Day 228.  This evening, when I had a small amount of time to do some practice, I was not in the mood to hit golf balls.  Nothing bad, just didn't feel like it today.  So I did the snapping sticks drill from the quarantine set (alignment stick + 6-iron).  I think I felt it more than I felt my workout from earlier in the day (and I think that's a good thing for the drill?)

Day 76:

Continued with reinforcing my trail hand grip correction throughout the day. Later worked on full swing, starting with grip, address, a couple rehearsals of backswing and transition to delivery position, and then hitting ball. Today's focus was mostly face control/palmar flexion, making sure my start line is in my general desired area for my ball flight (push draw).

    • Can you elaborate on this?  There's a par-4 hole at the course I've played the most (was my home course for over a decade, now 50 miles away but I still go and play there) whose green is below the fairway and I realized recently it's one of three holes on the course I've never made birdie, despite that I often have a short iron into the green for my second shot.  It isn't even that I haven't made birdie, but I realize I often don't hit the green.  My typical play of the hole is to have a near-GIR and sometimes I get up and down, but not as often as I would if I were trying to 2-putt.
