Day 78: Played 18 holes. Long game was good, short game was crap (the rentals didn’t help there). Know what I need to work on the next few months!

Day 2: 3/21/2023

Got to the outdoor range today to work on priority pieces. After doing some block work with my 6 iron, I found out the guy hitting balls next to me had spent some time on one of the mini-tours. So naturally I challenged him to a closest to the pin competition hitting balls at several different targets. Anywhere from 30 yards to about 165 yards. He won most of them... go figure. It was fun and he was a good guy. 

Later I did Day 15 from the Covid-19 30-day practice challenge. Just to make sure I keep my putting stroke somewhere near descent.

forgot about the putting

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Day 1: first was just checking set up. Hips over ankles as I have a tendency to get behind them.
 

From there, it was lots of slow motion rehearsal swings and half swings to keep my trail hip from getting to far behind me and then towards the ball. Trying to have my hips go more linear. Completely different “feel”/body movement than I had previously. Just a slow grind to ingrain it.

Good 30 minutes. Maybe 30 balls before lessons and after the Coke delivery.

Day 7:

Refrigerator malfunction tonight so all my evening daylight time was spent moving food to spare storage in the garage. Did some indoor work without ball. Literally 5 minutes worth.

Day 3: 3/22/2023

Did a couple things today. 
Hit balls in the garage in the early AM.

Later when to the range to work on my priority pieces. I can tell by the ball flight when I get it correct. But I'm still going to try to get some good video in this week. 

Finished late at night with the putting mirror on my office putting mat.

Day 2: kept up working the hips with the slow rehearsals. Being linear. That will be an everyday repeating thing. Also, just did some pitch shots. Focusing on letting the club just drop as I turn through the ball.
