Day 96.  Today I did a few things.  I did some of the small-step drills prescribed in my latest Evolvr lesson, although I am having trouble maintaining posture when I do this (seemingly no matter how slowly, unless I pause to step and readjust my posture, which seems besides the point).  I also hit some half shots with the 6-iron with a focus on the setup.  I also hit three full swings (careful about setup), slowly... and it felt normal, which is not a good sign this recently after a lesson.

day 95: played 18 holes for our monthly club championship today.. ended up with an 88, but I have played bad first 9 holes (47 strokes)..  the second 9 were better scoring a 41 for which i missed 4 birdie puts in a row.. yesterdays preparation (9 holes) were better with 40 strokes, so I am a bit disappointed.. still got closest to the pin on one of the 4 holes that we played. 

cheers Chris

Day 97.  More of the step drill, I've now got a few where I'm able to setup feet together, step back with some swing back, step forward, then hit (I've yet to have anything other than a bladed shot off of the step-forward and hit together).

Played 18 this morning. New course. Aside from 2 terrible swings with driver, I struck the ball really well today. Going to keep working on the slow stuff.

Day 226 - 

Putting - stroked 5' putts on y PuttOUT mat going through my full routine.

Full swing - I've noticed that when the tempo of my swing gets out of whack - typically too slow backswing, followed by way too fast downswing in an "attack the ball mode" - I  leave the clubface open resulting in a shot which looks like a weak, high shank. I spent time today with my 9-iron making practice swings trying to focus on tempo and making sure that I return the clubface to square.

Day 98.  More of the step drill, a few times during the day, and I think I'm finally getting it, up to and including making a good hit at the ball.  If I keep this up tomorrow, I'll try to get some [likely indoor] video to check that I'm doing it right.

Day 227 - Using a practice station (alignment rods set in a "T") but without a ball I made practice swings today with my 9-iron moving from A3 to A9 focusing on body rotation and hand positions. Headed to the range tomorrow and will focus on hitting shots this way.

Also practiced hitting short wedge shots with my Orange Whip wedged.

Day 599: Range today working on the same knuckles down feel. Did mostly 50% swings then up to maybe 75%. Ball flight was more in line with what I am looking for. Worked through the bag.

Day 225, June 13, 2022

Caddied in a U.S. Junior Am qualifier, then got home and did some mirror work but outside in the grass. 😄 Did a little more inside while watching Phil's press conference on replay.

Day 147:

Continued with the same routine as last week because I seem to be improving ball striking. Tried to work in faster swings sooner, but had to back off.

Day 99.  The day got away from me, but I did get five minutes while dinner was in the oven to practice the step drill.  It's going well enough I think I'll take video tomorrow.

Day 228 - Range and practice green work today - about 2 hours.

Range - Started with 8i swinging A3 to A9, this time focused on making sure that I finished with my chest turned completely toward the target and my weight on my left side. Also focused on making swings with good tempo, rather than trying to smash the ball. Then worked through 9i, PW,UW, 7H, 6H, HW and Driver - longer swings but same focus. 

Practice Green - Putting focus today was on distance control using a drills from the "Instinct Putting" book. Finished by hitting short wedge shots to different holes and putting out.
