Day 70 - Chipping practice with my 56* wedge today. After hitting some warmup chips, I chipped about 10 balls, picking a landing spot then going through my entire pre-shot routine with each one. The whole process took about 15-20 minutes.

You could probably fairly easily get in one of these lessons each day. They were designed to do indoors some even without a club.

Day 94: 3/6/23

I did hit some full shots into the garage net today, but the lion's share of today's efforts centered around putting. 

I did Days 8, 11, and 15 of the Covid-19 30 day challenge. ... basically all the putting days. I spread them out throughout the day. One in the morning, one mid-day and one just now.

Day 126, March 6, 2023

Good 30 minutes today before lessons. Downswing stuff. Playing in the next few days down south so went a little faster than I should at this point, but… I've accounted for this. Temporary ramp-up, then back to work.

Day 95: 03/07/2023

I wanted to get to the outdoor range today, but it wasn't in the cards. I had to settle for some mirror work, a few balls into the garage net and some additional putting bead work.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      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."
