Day 119, February 27, 2022

I'll have more to say about this (eventually) in my Member Swing topic, but I spent about 65 swings and 2 or so hours on GEARS today seeing what I had to work on and then starting to work on it.

Day 63: 2/27/2022

Kind of a mirror day. I started with using the putting mirror during my normal putting drills. It was interesting to see how far outside the lines I set my eyes in my normal set up. So, I worked on that during the gate drills that I normally do. So basically add putting mirror to day 15 of the Covid-19 challenge. 

Then I did mirror work on my swing. Worked on my priority piece so the step thing and then the rotation thing I've been working on.

Day 80 (27 Feb 22) - Misty rain day, so did mirror work focused on “feeling” my weight on the lead foot when working thru impact.  It has been a journey to trust my partial foot can handle the weight pressure.   Pardon the pun, but I am making small steps….

Day 9: Away on business this week, but I bought a putting mat, and took my putter with me! So, did about 15 mins putting from about 8 feet.

Day 500: Worked a bit on backswing again with the same takeaway to A2, but more up from there using my body to do the turn and less arms. Did this indoor.

Day 54: Putted while on a few conference calls. Working on my set up - hands a little higher and a bit more closer to the ball - and backswing - going more straight back. Things are feeling a bit better and the results are coming together.

Day 128 - Busy day today so only spent a few minutes on pitching motion shots, starting with my Orange Whip wedge then trying to get the same feeling with my 58*.  Tomorrow I have another Trackman session scheduled.

Day 81 (28 Feb 22) - Jumped back on Birdie Ball / Swing Saucer drill today.  This time with the PW and a little more distance (about 30').  A fun drill even when you don't land 'em in the saucer.

Day 64: 2/28/2022

Good day of practice today. I did the ladder drill at my usual 6', 12' 24' four at each distance with each club. I only used the 54 and the 60 today. Next time I have to remember to grab the gap wedge. 

Later I worked on my 2 drills for my priority piece in the garage. I decided to use the PW, 8-iron, 6 iron and hybrid. I don't want to only practice with the 6 iron. I know that what I'm working on doesn't really need to have me using any particular club, but never-the-less it seems wise to bring in some other clubs. 

Then just now I was out in the garage taking a Sky-Trak skills test. I did well. My cumulated handicap was single digit. The funny part was I missed the green badly with all three balls from 100 yards and hit the green with all three (one of them went in) from 200 yards. So in this instance my 100 yard handicap was 19.5 my 200 yard handicap was +1.7. ... Golf 🤷‍♂️

Day 120, February 28, 2022

Started working on this stuff:

Day 44:

Did practice with no balls today, using driver. Focus was on backswing and recentering. I've noticed when I execute the recentering/flow well, I drive the ball really well, and don't hit push fades - ball is usually a straight draw or a touch of a pull fade. I rehearsed backswing and the feel from near the top of falling back into my lead side, and then swung club through the impact zone with moderate speed.

Day 85. 3/01/2022

days 01/10 of Covid-19 practice plan review setup, early backswing and full swing flow.

Day 501: Range today under the heater. Started with focus on getting my hands high and in the right position at A4. Worked from 9 iron to driver. Moved onto some distance wedge work then finished with hitting 20-25 drivers trying to fade the ball each time. Driver face control has been frustrating this winter. Most of the fades looked like slight push fade. I lost several in the milky sky with snow on the ground.

Day 129 - Trackman session today. Went through all clubs except Driver, collecting data to develop shot zones per LSW. Hit about 20 shots each with my Heavenwood, 9-wood, 7-iron and PW (I had enough data on my Driver from a previous session) and 5-15 shots with all other clubs in the bag. Will spend time tomorrow drawing shot zones and determining my shot center.

Day 82 (01 Mar 22) - Worked on pitches with the 50 and 54 late this afternoon.   Distances varied from 10yds up to 25yds in the backyard.  Grandson was doing likewise, watched him chip it in from about 10yds out.  He was stoked to say the least.  A good way to get in some easy swings and enjoy time with him.  Now if I can just be as accurate on the course tomorrow.

Day 65: 03/01/2022

I got a lot in today. I did a bunch of putting first thing in the AM. I did day 15 of the Covid-19 practice plan. Easily my favorite putting drills. Only I added the putting mirror into it. Then I did about a dozen putts hitting one from the mirror and then hitting the next one without the mirror trying to get through the 2 inch gate, 25 inches away. It's like the ball is playing Operation, The Whacky Doctor's Game.... "Don't touch the sides". 

I was able to work on my priority piece today. It's becoming pretty natural for me. Which means either I'm getting better at it, or I'm doing it wrong. I really need to grab some video as soon as I can. As I was looking back through the notes from my last lesson I noticed that I haven't been doing what I'm going to call the "drainage tile drill". So, I'm going to try to find a way to start adding that in tomorrow. 

Lastly, I did the chipping ladder at my usual 6', 12' and 18 foot distances, 4 balls each distance with each club. Today I remembered to include the gap wedge with the 54 and the 60.
