Day 37: May 1

A short practice session in a practice net (30 shots or so) working on developing & maintaining the correct club path. This was followed by a longer short game practice session, working on ball striking and distance control of 1/4 and 1/2 wedge shots (both GW and SW). After a slightly shaky start, ended up with some tight dispersions; recent play has been plagued by inaccurate pitch shots so good to see the consistency coming through.

Edit: just read my faux pas about bulk posting. Won’t happen again @iacas 🫣

Day 14. Shoulder feels better but I only did about 20 minutes of chipping, pitching and slower swings with a 9 iron indoors. I want it to heal before Erie.

Day 38: May 2

Played 18 holes and set a new PB, despite recording an eight(!!) on the 1st! Put the hole out of my head (I just laughed it off), knuckled down and played a good chunk of golf. Some bad shots here and there but minimised the damage and moved on.Β

Day 183, May 2, 2023

Spent five or ten minutes hitting a few balls with the same feels that I had in 2020, but which also re-committed to here:

  • Cup the hell out of the left wrist going back.
  • Let fall/throw (a combo of both) the club "behind" me with the right arm.

TheΒ ball goes left if I don't do the first thing well.

Day 40:Β Chipping and putting practice followed by slow motion swings with a wedge. Ingraining proper backswing length with irons, and initiating downswing with weight shift.

Day 9 - Short range session working on Evolvr feedback, then more dry reps at home and rolled some putts at home.Β 

Ballstriking was really really good at the range, although I liked what I saw on video in the dry swings at home better than what I saw on video at the range.

Day 67 (03 May 23)Β - More work with the impact drill of using an alignment rod perpendicular to the swing path about 6" behind the ball to reinforce hitting the ball first.Β  Used the 6i and hard foam balls.Β  Definitely audible when I get to too steep and the click of the club nicking the rod resounds.Β Β
