Day 93: 03/05/2023

One more early morning trip to the indoor driving range today. I started with the speed control putting drill, and I finished with the speed control putting drill. In between I worked on my chipping to a couple of different targets as well  as working on pitch shots. I did do a little work on my my full swing priority pieces but kept it short today. I hit 3 shots with each club in the bag. I also made a couple of attempts at the putting ladder drill. 

The plan is to do some bead work on putting tomorrow and check ball flights at the outdoor range on Tuesday. Maybe sneak a little driver work in on Wednesday before playing rounds on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

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.

Day 9 (6 Mar 23) - Had planned to play 9 today, plans fell through so it was backyard work today.   Started with some swings with the driver with hard foam balls and also the 3h.   Moved over to easy day of hitting pitches with the wedges, focused on engaging the bounce to 8i, doing choked down punches.

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.

    • I'm not sure who we are referring to here. But that doesn't at all seem out of line.  Today in America it's pretty common to have to pay out about half of your gross income in taxes. This is when you include Federal, State and City Taxes. Plus sales tax, capital gains tax, marriage penalty tax, luxury tax and property tax. Many Americans pay more than half their income in taxes if they live in a high tax city or state. Or if their income is especially high. Where my wife and I live, for example, our Property Tax Payment is getting close to about twice our Mortgage Payment, and that's not really uncommon.  The idea is to offset at least some of these taxes by investing a chunk of what you earn. If this guy you are referring to, made a couple of not great investments, he may not have much that offset these taxes. He may also have purchased something like a multi-million-dollar home which has, for what ever reason, gone down in value. Or perhaps he is in the process of starting up a business venture that hasn't taken off yet.  Here's another way to think about it. Estimate how much money you've earned in your career. Then take a look at your net-worth. This guy's net worth is about 44% of his earnings. I can tell you our household's net worth is not near 44% of our lifetime earnings. Plus, this guy may have had to pay a percentage to a caddie, and/or an agent right off the top.

    • When comparing money across decades, keep inflation in mind. $100 in 2003 is worth $165 in 2023 according to this. There's also more money in sports in general today than before. The LIV players are still ridiculously overpaid with money coming from oil.
    • Day 12: Continued backswing mirrorvision work, did some full swing with balls, and a fit for golf workout. Elbow pain is gone, except for the motion of picking up my golf bag. Gonna try to restart stack next week.
