Day 39: May 3

Back to drills, focusing again on backswing and transition. Correct (flat) left wrist position at the top, a full deep turn (which I find makes it difficult for me to overswing) and “right elbow into my ribs” coming down.

More of the same. Twist the shit out of it (the wrong direction), then throw it behind me. Don't forget to use the legs, but that's less of an issue as time goes on.

Day 13 - Spent an hour on the Trackman Target Practice range at my local Golf Galaxy today. Worked on approach shots from 50 to 150 yards and pitch shots from 20 to 50. For the shorter shots (specifically 29 and 45) I hit three different clubs to each target to get a feel for the technique and see how the ball reacted on the green. All-in-all time well spent.

Day42: Wright Balance fitting today after some poor play.  Tested out as an Upper Core golfer and the instructor showed me a variety of exercises to complete daily and prior to play. Took me out to the range and I striped most shots. I had been good with the driver and not so good with the irons. Felt like I was hitting everything pretty good when I left.

Day 11 - Hit balls at the range working on my priority piece. Making some progress visually and the ball striking is drastically improved so heading in the right direction.

Day 185, May 4, 2023

Left wrist cups, right wrist arches. Today I did the downswing mostly with slower "falling" stuff behind me, keeping the left wrist cupped, but I'll do some faster ones tomorrow.

@Clemsonfan, you should start a topic on the Wright stuff… though it seems like a LOT of players test out as "upper core" which makes me doubt how useful that actually is.

Day 68 (04 May 23) - Got to go to the driving range today near the beach place.  Used the bucket to “play” the front nine at Minnesott (less the putting). Session started different as I “felt” like I stepped backwards with a good number of chunked irons in the warm-up portion.  Did a reset and slowed down, shortened the swing to pitch length - got me back into a rhythm that was more predictable.  Overall it helped to mentally play a series of holes on the range.

Day 18: Went to the range and did about 35 minutes of random practice. Ball was going a little too far left for my liking, but it's definitely playable. Ball contact was generally solid, so that's good. All in all, I'm in a good spot.

Day 186, May 5, 2023

Just managed to sneak my five minutes in today. Busy busy day. Looked at the GE 3.0 building (six feet shorter than we thought), and so on.

    • Tiger Wood's Driver Clinic Got this on Twitter. Which then I found the video above.  Tiger asking Rory to hit that control cut. Rory talks a bit about how he likes to stand taller, so he doesn't feel like he can shallow it with the body. Tiger puts it in his words, staying on top of the ball. Which I presume for Tiger his feel for a cut. Even the PGA Tour players have their own ways to achieve similar shots and describe it with their own swing thoughts (feels). Good insight in how PGA Tour player's develop swing feels to produce the shot they want. Could be something as simple as a posture change.   
    • Awesome, thank you very much for chiming in and for explaining. I will give it a try today. I was chipping in my back yard with my new irons and had a huge smile on my face from just how well they were performing, feeling and sounding compared to the old 70's blades I was playing. I look forward to giving your drill a shot!
    • It’s to get a feel for the sensation of hitting the ball on the center of the club face and for hitting the ball straight.  Golf is, my opinion, about hitting the center of the club face.  A ball struck in the center of the face with a squared to the target club face is, again my opinion, the most important aspect of golf.  It provides a feel like nothing else in golf.  Swinging hard and striking the ball off the toe or heel of the club when you’re new to the game results in bad feeling shots that erode your confidence.  Hitting fifty half-swing shots and nothing else at the range lets you get back in the car and sleep on a satisfying session.  Remember, in order to play well, you must be confident.  In order to be confident, you must play well 😎.  Good luck.
