Day 1.   Guess whose schedule is finally going to allow him to get back to regular golf practice?  Somehow even with a home setup, I wasn't regularly able to practice. :-( 

But I did play today, with a reasonable warm-up beforehand, and I should be back regularly practicing and participating here.  And from today's round (and one a week ago), I know I have quite some practice to get back to where I was a few months ago.   5 GIR + 5 near-GIR is not a good outing for me, especially with how well I drove the ball today.

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 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. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

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 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.
