Day 99 (01/30/22) - More putting drills today. I started with right hand only putts (my right hand is in the claw position) for feel then placed two balls just outside the width of my putter head and putted balls in groups of three, swinging the putter head between the balls, and trying to line them up.

Day 14:

Played 18 this morning. New transition move is a work in progress, but the good shots were really good, so I feel like I have something solid to build on with this. Hit an uncanny number of tree limbs on approach shots and short game shots today which lead to a couple 8s and more double bogeys than I would have liked; some were bad luck and others were just the result of being in a bad position. Had a nice birdie on the difficult par-3 #16, which is nice to check off early in the year.

Hit a bunch more chips with some juniors today. Hit one good "hit and stop" shot with Sophia, too.

Day 38: 1/30/2022

I got ten minutes of mirror work in first thing this morning. I thought I was going to do a bunch more today. But nope, that was all I did. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Day 26: More mirror work. Still working on set up. Mostly need to bend my knees more to be better. Like where my hips are at right now.

Day 39: 1/31/2022

Got up early today. I did my mirror work before going to the office. I think I did a better job today and yesterday keeping this little hitch I like to add to my swing away. It seems to help if I drive my hips a little earlier in the swing. >>> that probably doesn't make sense to most of you, but it's a piece I'm working on. 

I also got some nice putting drills in today. Almost all bead work except for a few attempts at the 4-foot progressive putt challenge. Which I was able to achieve a new low of 10-1/2". So, there's that. 

I've also done my ladder drill at 6', 12' and 18' several times already up and down the ladder. I've left it set up and pretty much every time I get up from my desk I run up and down the ladder. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Ten minutes before a lesson today where I focused a good bit on the downswing and left hip "crunch" move.

Day 100 (01/31/22) - My back is still pretty sore from storm cleanup so I limited today to a few minutes of chipping work with the "dime" drill.

Day 16:

Just did rehearsals today, using LVP camera. I really wanted to do full swing work outdoors with net/ball/Mevo+ today, but I slipped and tweaked something in my upper back trying to retrieve a ball from a creek during my round yesterday (not worth it), so taking things easy for a couple days.

Day 54 (31 Jan 22) - Able to get in the backyard today and work on setup including the anti-slice drill.  Kept all shots to 1/4 swing and focused on finishing with arms extended and not lead arm collapsed.  Planning to work up to 1/2 swing on this drill to build more speed in the coming days.

Day 93, February 1, 2022

Good long session today on the GEARS. Feel like I learned a good bit about some things. Helped re-prioritize a little, let me know I'm doing well on some things, and I can kinda put them in the rear-view mirror. I'll update my Member Swing topic with more.
