Day 95: 04/02/2022

Yesterday, I went back to what I was doing in my previous 3 sessions. Today I started with a little of that. I spent a bit of time working on my older priority pieces. Basically, I'm trying not to backslide. Then I worked on my newer priority pieces. Then I went back through my coaching notes to make sure I was doing it right... or at least closer to right.Β 

This seems to be helping. I will definitely film my practice tomorrow or Monday at the latest.Β

Day 28.Β  Played 18 today.Β  I don't know why, but I played my chip and pitch shots as slowly as I had been practicing.Β  I did it by accident on my second and third chip shots before realizing it might be a good idea.Β  In any case, my short game was on fire today, beating the 15 handicap mark.Β  I also beat the 15 handicap mark with my drives today, despite hitting into an unplayable and taking that penalty.Β  And I had only one shot lost approach, hitting 9 GIR and 6 near-GIR.Β  My three that were none was a par-3 I missed by 25 yards, a 434-yard par-4 that I had a 40 yard pitch for my third shot, and the ninth hole where I hit my tee shot I described earlier.Β  Basically, I played very well with thirteen clubs today. :-)Β But I was on the bogey train and shot an 86 with no birdies and nothing better than a 4.Β  Sadly, two sixes (this is the same course where in 2019 I managed my so-far-only no-sixes round).

Day 77:

Worked on three things: Grip in fingers (indoors), keeping face neutral (feels very open) in backswing, recentering before top of backswing. Hit balls with 7-iron, and it was best practice hitting balls I’ve had in awhile.

Day 78:

Played 18 this morning. It was high event golf (3 birdies, 4 penalty strokes, 2 quad bogies, 1 triple bogie), which is not my style when I am playing well, but I am happy with progress in ball striking over the last 2-3 weeks.

Every short game shot I hit was crisp, although distance control was not great today.

Made a few bad putts, but made up for it with the birdies.

Day 96: 4/3/2022

Today I filed my taxes, so that took up a bunch of my time. Having said that I did some really good mirror work. Most of it was slow and focused. I'm working on trying to clean a few things up. I think the mirror work I've put in lately will pay dividends when I film my swing tomorrow. ... At least I hope so.Β

Day 29.Β  Today was a writing day for me, but I took two ten-minute breaks:Β  one for full swings (8-iron and 6-iron), and one for quarter and chip shots with my 58 and 54.Β  Slow swings, off a mat, into a net, real balls.

IΒ shouldΒ have done the 25+ foot putt at home drill from LSW.Β  I forgot that existed until a moment ago when I typed, then deleted, that I didn't know how to practice those at home.Β  I've done that drill in the past too.Β  Oh well, that'll happen soon now that it has been remembered.Β  Coming tomorrow: red text to go with my practice reports.
