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).

Day 109 (15 Oct 21) - stopped by the public driving range near the beach place.  Had the old Wilson Killer Whale driver and Strata 7i with me, so it made a good time to work on setup.  Got in some great swings, enough such I am thinking to gaming the Whale in my next round.

Day 356: Worked on backswing length today with 6 iron and driver. Length looked good but weight shift was off. Will work on this again tomorrow.

Day 110 (16 Oct 21) - Took 7i to the beach today….spent time w/foam balls chipping on the packed sand.  Grandson had set up a “hole” in the sand, so the game was to chip into the hole.  With the steady onshore breeze, made for playing the wind.

Day 77:

Worked on grip a bit more, and then did some backswing rehearsals for about 10 minutes. Moved onto full swing work, with focus on current priority piece. Wrapped up with some COVID-19 day 6/7 short game drills.

Day 357: Worked on my priority pieces again today. Still struggling to keep the rotation going after impact. This one may take all winter. My body is a bit tight on the left side and even though I stretch daily, it still is limiting me. I’ll keep at it.

Day 78:

Played 18. Below average day of ballstriking and I didn’t score well at all, but I was thrilled to see that my trail hand grip correction has all but eliminated the violent snap hook miss I’ve had going on for the past couple months. I did not adjust well to the miss I had going on today (block/block fade) and need to put in some face control practice, but pretty happy with the change.

Day 111 (17 Oct 21) a little backyard work this afternoon started with whiffle balls and ended with BirdieBalls.  Had a good session - borrowed a little from the “Utopia Pre-Set” to get wrist set in position for a solid strike of the ball.

Day 358: Range work today. Worked on my priority pieces with focus on set up. Also, spent a few minutes reviewing my grip per Erik’s grip video. I’m having some issues with my left knee again. It has the weakness I had with a torn meniscus. It will be fine for a few swings, then feel like it doesn’t work for a couple. I hope it doesn’t get worse.

It was 48F when I got to the range and a bit windy. I was wearing shorts. @Vinsk would be dressed like below cuz he’s a Florida weeny now.

Day 1 - Starting over today. Did Day-1 of the Covid 19 practice plan using a 7-iron. Focused on setup and take away, then did the chipping part of the drill with a real golf ball. After reading about Almostgolf practice balls the other day, I ordered a couple of dozen. Good thing too, because a few of my chips with Snells ended up in the neighbors yard .

Day 79:

Continued my adjustment to correction of trail hand grip as I need to figure out how much palmar flexion I need to get the clubface where it needs to be. Did palmar flexion (COVID-19 day 4? drill) rehearsals for a bit. Then went outside and marked off a window on my net where I want to see the launch angle/start line with sidewalk chalk (did a best guess, it's not perfect, but in the ball park), and then hit some balls trying to get the ball to hit in the window to ingrain the palmar flexion.

Day 112 (18 Oct 21) - Practice in the backyard with the wedges today.  Pitches and chips - focusing on staying in position (keeping the head down, weight forward) through completion of the swing.  Lesson learned - lift head, ball dead, head down, ball solid bound.  (I know its corny, but it is a reminder to be confident in the process and not to be too anxious to "see where it went").  Tomorrow - golf course bound!

Day 359: Played 18 walking this morning. 39F when we teed off. I was still wearing shorts. I was a bit off from the tee for a few holes but then moved the ball forward in my stance and things got better.

Day 113 (19 Oct 21) - Played 18 today.  Worked on alternative approach scenarios as my son was working on the same as well.  He did an excellent job on the last hole.  A par 5 where he was about 270 out after the tee shot.  He wanted to be about 125 - his PW distance for the approach.  Took his 8i and played it almost to the yard as he was 120 from center of the green for his approach.  It was a great day where we both worked on course management and getting comfortable not just grabbing a driver on every tee or thinking that going long was always the best answer.

Day 2 - Worked on the Rhythm/Tempo part of Day 8 from the 30-day practice plan and discovered that my ideal  is 82 bpm.
