Day 19.Β  Afternoon break earlier today, went to a nearby putting green.Β  I did a 4' around the clock drill (12 coins).Β  It took 17 putts to sink them all -- 8 sank on the first pass, then 3 on the second, with the remaining hold-out on my third attempt.Β  Β If I can sink 4' putts at a 70% rate (and improve from there), I will be happy, but I recognize today was a small sample size.

Day 525: Range today. Did a simulated round. Loosened up then started with driver picturing a course I’m playing next week. Based the next club and shot depending on how the previous went. This range has a short game area and practice green adjacent to the mats. So I just turned around and did the appropriate short game shot and putt.Β 

Driver was pretty good today. After the simulated round, worked on wedges and short game shots.

Day 69 (yesterday was actually 68):

Worked on setup, specifically grip. In addition to working on right hand, after browsing a swing thread with grip comments, I also worked on getting the left hand more into the fingers, because I suspect the grip slides a bit into my palm after A2 position, considering that I have a few palmy callouses. Feels weird, and I might try an undersize grip to see if that is more comfortable or facilitates holding the club more in fingers.

Also hit some balls from A3, mostly just focusing on crisp contact and a good start line, but I'll be honest and say I was so focused on the grip element, I didn't hit the ball particularly well, but I think getting comfortable with a better grip can only be a good thing.

Day 87: 3/25/2022

Played Angel Park today. Over all it went well. Didn't lose a single ball. Only hit one really bad shot. Skulled a sand wedge. Made all bogeys and pars. 9 over. Didn't putt awful. But I didn't make any either.

Playing again tomorrow.Β Β
