Day 49:

A bit of priority piece work, and then some short game drills.

day 2: 

played a 9 hole round today with some friends in a very cold wind.. 

prior to that I practiced and warmed up a bit with P, 7i and driver.. then went to the putting green and focused on a few short and long puts (focus on direction for short-puts, and distance on long-puts). Lastly spent a few minutes chipping before starting the round.

Day 2: Went to a nearby course which is only partially open (5 holes closed) and still playing off mats, and as such pretty quiet.  Played several balls, and at certain points dropped a few more to practice short game stuff.  Didn't score, but did keep track of putting which was a bit better than last time, but still not as good as I know I can be.  I think tomorrow I will practice just putting.

Day 134 - Did some putting practice today, focusing on setup and and tempo. I have a tendency to let my left arm fold back some, instead of keeping the elbow straight out. When this happens, I pull the putt; it seems this will need constant attention.

Day 506: Hit about 20 balls testing my knee. Balance was a bit off. I did do some backswing work continuing on my feels and adding more hinging at the top and a wide downswing.

Day 126, March 6, 2022

Hit about 12 balls (okay, it was 12 balls) after lessons for the day. Really took my time with them. Took almost 12 minutes. 😄

Day 3 - didn’t do much today relative to the other two days, but got my five mins in. Getting back into the swing of things, I revisited working on my grip (useless endeavor at this point) and taking the club head back & up with straighter Right elbow with 8i.

Day 69: 3/6/2022

My right elbow was kind of aching today, so I sort of took it easy. Only worked on my putting. 

Did my favorite drills, Day 15 of the COVID-19 practice challenge... of course I incorporated the mirror into the practice.

Day 87 (06 Mar 22) - full swing stretch work in front of the mirror, included getting weight forward.

Day 50:

Played 18 today. Frustrating mix of bad and good. Swing felt completely alien today. Struggling with latest focus piece from lesson, but it’s only been a couple days.

Day 60: Back to mirror work today. Worked on feels for my new priority piece. Also checked to make sure my set up still looked good.

Day 2, my first deliberate practice in several months.  I spent 20 minutes this evening hitting balls (indoors, off a mat, into a net, real balls) with 8- and 6-iron.  My focus was on slow swings and feeling good contact.  I have yet to review my priority pieces from last time I practiced, and that's in the cards for very soon.

day 3, I repeated the day 1 of the covid challenge and filmed it this morning..

Will be going to the range after work to focus on short game (chipping within 15 meters)

[boogielicious]

Day 507: Worked on my swing for about 40 minutes outside.

[MiddleTees]

Day 91. 3/7/2022

hitting different types and length swings with 56 into net, chips, pitching and full swing.

Day 3: Absolutely glorious weather today - seemed a shame not to make the most of it, so I played a "practice round" (actually 16 holes in the end).  As an experiment, instead of my current Nike VR Pro Combos, I used my orginal MacGreggor V-Foil M545 Forged Irons.  Well, what a difference.  I'd gone off my Cobra's - I just didn't like how they felt, and I didn't feel like I got much feedback - not quite right shots I could get away with, but they didn't really feel that good.  And, in fact, very sweet shots also didn't feel that good either.  My Nike clubs give a lot of feedback - I know and can feel if I middled it, or more or less where it went.  Good shots feel *great*, mediocre shots feel mediocre, and bad shots feel bad.  However, the MacGreggors were *much* more forgiving.  I hit a lot of very good shots, and duffed fewer, and generally felt more confident over the ball.  My short game wasn't great and putting was poor (although the greens had been treated this morning, so they were very difficult), but overall my iron play was as good as I could remember.

Really must practice solidly tomorrow - my target ratio of practice to play is 2:1, and I've played three times in three days, and only practiced for about 30 mins.

Day 135 - Practiced setup and ball position with the putter and short pitches in the yard. For the pitching practice, I focused on keeping my arms loose and pivoting to the finish....basically Day 7 w/o the two ball drill.
