Day 78 (01/09/22) -Β  Worked on putting touch and speed on my PuttOUT mat by stroking putts from the 6' mark while trying to have to ball stop on the front edge of the target hole marked on the mat, w/o going in. After several attempts, I was able to get most putts to stop within 6" in front of the hole (I did not get any to literally stop on the edge).Β

Β That has been a game changer. Β Accuracy way up, shot shape very neutral to slight draw. Β Very happy with today’s work. Β

I worked a long day, but got some Mach 3 stuff in today, and got some work in at the end of the day just after picking things up. A long day.

Day 162:

Played 18 this morning. Drove the ball really well, but didn’t match with similar approach play. Planned on doing some work with Mevo+ in the afternoon, but after surviving my daughters ice skating birthday party with no injuries, I was too tired to swing a club.Β

Day 5: Mirror work again today. Checking my set up and doing a little bit of work on my backswing. Looking better with the set up - hips are definitely further forward.Β

Day 19: 1/10/2022.

Started out today with Putting. Worked on the gate drill to confirm I'm hitting the center of my putter. Struggled a bit. Spent 10-15 minutes on it.

I'll do some mirror work later on and probably repeat the putting drill just because I wasn't exactly happy with how well I did... or in this case didn't do.Β 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs.Β 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.Β

Day 34 (10 Jan 21)Β - Got to play 18 today with my son. Used this round to work on reinforcing the grip adjustment and overall setup. Β We were only ones on the course, so it was easy to not feel rushed. Β Seeing batter shot shapes as the ball is now hooking, not a duck hook, but definitely not slicing right.Β

Day 163:

Finally getting some dry weather and sunny skies, so was planning to do full swing work with Mevo+ today, however a sick household (good chance it's covid) killed that idea. Did some grip practice and putting indoors on a yardstick while quarantining with wife and kids.
