Day 13 (28 Nov 22) - Worked on club impact with ground (actually the carpet in the shop).  Focused on striking the carpet post ball position.  Setup was near the edge of the rug so I could see club either going out to in or in to out.  Went well until I took the handlebar off the grandkid's old Lightnin' McQueen motorized scooter (oops).

Day 14 (29 Nov 22) - Worked on hitting ball first then ground by using two tees (ball on one, the other to mark where the ground impact target zone).  Did the drill while working through the club groups (wedge, short & long irons, metal woods) while hitting hard foam balls.  I recently repainted the balls so I had good reference on where I was striking the ball.

day 0: Spent time swinging cack-handed, and then switched to normal grip focused on keeping the right arm in front of me.

I've been working on my game a ton lately. But not recording as I knew I would have a few days off during Thanksgiving. 

So today is:

Day 1: 11/29/2022

Went to the range. Hit balls working first on my priority pieces. Mostly with the six iron, but I repeated the work switching clubs occasionally. 

After that I hit a dozen balls to different targets from 40 to 90 yards. (Shot scope tells me my 50 to 100 yard wedge game is a glaring weakness.) 

I finished off the range session by "playing" the first 9 holes of the course the tournament I play every year.

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

    • Day 12: stole about 10 minutes in the garage, doing my drill with foam balls. 
    • Day 116 12-6 Still working on getting to lead side. Tonight I also tried some skill work with clubface awareness.  Hit foam balls. 
    • To flog this subject even further, if that's even possible, this article from Golf Monthly just appeared today in one of my news feeds. Written by a golf writer in the UK who I never heard of, he's basically saying that there should be only 3-5 rounds from the most recent 20 that should count towards the average and only competitive rounds should count. He claims the erratic scorers would have less of an advantage than they do now. He makes a lot of references to "club golfers" in the UK being the ones who are mostly dissatisfied. https://share.google/qmZZBEoJvOxHxJGil  In my experience with my league where we have golfers with indexes ranging from 5 to 40, looking at the weekly results from the past two years, I can detect no pattern that would substantiate the claim that the current system gives an unfair advantage to either erratic golfers (aren't we all?) or higher handicappers. Apparently though, at least in the UK, this seems to be "a thing."
    • Day 26 (6 Dec 25) - Another day of rainy weather - got in some mirror work rehearsing forward weight shift as finishing back swing.
