Day 33 (30 Mar 23) - Setup work, added focus on shoulder angle thru swing using 7i across the chest to reflect shoulder angle thru swing (slo-mo).  Hit a few hard foam balls afterwards to further rehearse the rotation process.

Day 9: Today was about 45 minutes of swinging. Going from just drill swings to over exaggerating rehearsals and then full swings. I think at times I need to just take an athletic swing and let the body move as it’s been rehearsing. 
 

worked on set up and alignment today as well. More or less just checking things off. Today was a good day….

Day 5: 30 Mar

Day 11: 3/30/2023

I went to the outdoor range today and it was closed to reseed the teeing areas. ... Bummer... 😢

So, instead I worked on my priority pieces both in the garage and in front of the mirror. 
I also did some mirror and gate putting on the office putting mat using the Perfect Putt Target. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Hit the new MP-33s. 7I, PW, and 2I. Hit them pretty well, to be honest.

Day 13:

Did more flat wrist drill, 15 balls. Then did the towel drill for low point practice, 15 more balls. Doing these drills that deconstruct the swing a bit usually help me recover when I am struggling with swing.

Then hit some almost golf balls with driver in the dark.

Day 3. Played my first round of the year with my wife, a local 9 hole course. Had some sketchy shots early on including a shank on my first iron shot (Thanks @Vinsk!). I did par a few holes and had a nice 4 iron on a par three into the wind.

Day 89: Played 9 holes is some windy conditions (30 mph, gusting into the 50s). I was playing it as a 4-5 club wind into it, 2 club wind with it. Actually very pleased with how I played, even though I was +6. Nearly holed out from 90 yards for a 2, played the wind perfectly a few times, and generally good contact.

Day 10: Hurt my back at the gym. But did putting drills. Coin to coin again. Have to get use to letting “gravity” work for me.

Day 34 (31 Mar 23) - Played 18 today at Minnesott.  Was able to get out ahead of the Friday scramble, able to work on multiple shots into the green as I was staying about 3 holes ahead of the next closest group.  Was like being on the range but the scenery was always changing.

Day 14:

Did some pitching/chipping practice. Also worked on recentering while hitting almost golf balls with slow swings. I noted that it felt like I was recentering weight into my lead toe/ball of foot, so tried a feel of the weight getting more into lead heel, and that felt more balanced through impact to follow through.

    • 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.
