Day 296, August 24, 2022

Hit balls at the range between working with Behrend students. Hitting it pretty good right now so long as I go out/up and make a 1/10th swing. 😉

Day 171.  I hit ten balls with my 6-iron (indoors, you know the drill with me) before packing my clubs for my trip.

Day 71 (24 Aug 22) -  Worked on pitches with wedges and chips with irons in the backyard with grandson.  Working from 1/4 to 1/2 swing, focused on not slowing down but maintaining speed thru impact.  Ball striking much more consistent.

Day 30, August 24, 2022: I worked on pitch length swings for contact using a lanyard ball. I worked with the launch monitor after this, lengthening the swing a bit but low speed, working on path and face angle. Finally I worked with Hack Motion on wrist angles.

Day 17:

More backswing work with camera, also hit balls with 7-iron. Working with a short backswing feel.

Day 300 - Practiced today at the North Kingstown range with @boogielicious, who helped my film my swing and so I'll be adding to the "my swing" thread shortly. Also practiced chipping and putting on the practice green, which was recently aerated, today.

Day 72 (25 Aug 22) - Worked on the swing path (exaggerated in-to-out to help ungroove my typical out-to-in) with the PW in the backyard, hitting 20-30 pitches.

Day 670: Practiced at NK with @Bob M . Worked on my alignment first. I’ve been having trouble setting up correctly noticed a lot of shot going left of what I thought was my target line. Turns out I am aligning a bit more left that I thought. Wired on my PP and did slow swing drills. Then Bob showed my a quadrant drill for driver to help with key 4. 
 

Finished with wedges and more alignment work.

Day 172.  Played the second nine holes at WW, which I've been hearing about for a while.  The course is gorgeous, and my only complaint about my play is I seem to hit the ball further than I am expecting a few times.  That and I apparently managed to hit a 7-iron approach so well the ball spun back a few feet.  Pars on 10, 12, 15, and 17 after coming off a plane less than two hours prior to hitting my first shot, and I didn't hit any warm up balls.

Day 31, August 25, 2022:  Today I practiced again with the lanyard ball, and then with 3/4 length swings without the ball. The emphasis was on centered contact and proper sequencing of body, arms, hands, club. Indoor practice into the screen.

Day 18:

Continued to work on the same full swing piece; getting depth and keeping the backswing feeling "short". Worked with 6-iron, 3W and Driver today. Driver and 6-iron were good with regards to contact and vertical/horizontal launch, but 3W is frustrating.

Day 671: Range today at LL. Worked on the same drill again with 7 iron and driver. Ball flight is starting to get pretty repeatable and closer to my toe line with slight draws as long as I don’t swing OTT. Worked on path a bit too, especially with driver. My other focus is a long, slow high backswing as I tend to get short on the course.

Day 39: 8/26/2022

I did stuff yesterday, but forgot to report on it. So, I guess today is day 39.

Got to the range today and spent 20 minutes working on my priority pieces. Then I did random practice. Hitting driver, then 8 iron, then hybrid, then 6 iron, and kept it random for about 20 minutes. Lastly I got into a game/contest with another guy there and we competed hitting shots, 200 yard fade. 150 yard draw. ... etc... Kind of fun and I actually did better than I thought I would.

Day 298, August 26, 2022

Played seven holes (and made seven pars), including the ninth where @RJohn23 made an ace (that neither of us, nor the people on the patio, saw go in).

Day 73 (26 Aug 22) - Played 18 solo today using worst ball format.  Two balls off the tee, play from the worse tee shot with the two balls, always working from the worst of the two shots.  Really like the challenge to effective course management and dealing with less than ideal lies/looks.

Day 173.  GEARS lesson (which is awesome, by the way;  I'll post more about this in a few days on the GEARS thread, but if you're on the fence, go do it), followed by some additional practice from the GEARS lesson.

Day 301 - 9-hole league at North Kingstown tonight. We were able to complete the round before the lightning started, which is good because I shot a personal best 5-over 41.
