Day 221, June 9, 2023

Played 18 holes today. Had some good holes, but… mildly uncomfortable with things all day today. Need to VIDEO something soon. Kicked myself for not doing that Wednesday.

Day 103 (9 Jun 23)-   Tempo and torso rotation work (anti-flip) in the backyard today using 9i and wedges.

Day 8 

Early morning hour at the range. Definite improvement but still consistency issues. Distance saw some improvement (175yd driver) but the star of my show was the 9i 110-120yds 5times in a row near dead centre.

 

Alot to be improved (as always) but focusing less on speed more on shape through the week, find im losing most positives from the backswing on the forward, also found adjusting my grip a bit gave me more flush contact

Day 19, June 10th, 2023

Hit about 30 balls over the course of 1.5 hours. Worked on backswing length and right elbow bend. Did 5-10 practice motions to 1 ball hit. Then took 1-2 minute break between hits to reset. I didn’t want to get into a fast rhythm.

Day 222, June 10, 2023

Worked downtown after lessons for about 35 minutes or so. That's only about… 27 golf balls. I recorded one on the Casio because it was already out.

Day 104 (10 Jun 23) - Worked on swing tempo today - used 9i and PW - took time between to simulate approach to shot from elsewhere.

Day 47 - Played 18 holes today. Was ok overall. The parts that I've been working on were solid, aka mid irons and tee shots. The parts I haven't spent as much time on (50-100yds) were garbage (shocker). Made 2 birdies but 4 doubles, got in some bad positions and tried to get too cute with recovery shots instead of taking my medicine and making bogey at worst.

Day 6 - back to mirror work. Still working on downswing feels.

Day 2: June 10

Golf lesson followed by range practice. Continuing to work on the feel of a better/more neutral club path - sometimes my clubpath is fine, other times it’s creeping too far over-the-top. I still don’t quite have it…but it’s not far off being ideal either. But I have new feels to try to see if I can get this locked in.

Range practice trying to continue this feel (about 1/3rd of the session) then plenty of driver practice. Decent control of the clubface = a decent shot outcome. It’s not perfect, it can be better…but it is playable.

Day 9

After some reading and reflecting noticed my range whiff were in part caused by my tendency to straight up during the swing. Practised some rotation to try and correct this but expect this to be a long hard battle against my unconcious mind.

Day 3: Jun 11

Worked on drills to continue improving my club path (put a pool noodle around an alignment rod that I placed on the floor, then practiced swinging a club along the same line as the alignment rod). I think the feel that works for me is a) right elbow into my right hip, and b) a sense that the club head drops behind me before swinging around me. But having that visual cue and feedback if the clubpath was incorrect seems helpful.

Also spent an hour chipping/pitching at my local course, working on feel and ball control from a range of distances. This includes spending some time just experimenting with different types of short game shots to see what happens.

Day 1:

Haven’t been able to practice lately due to some family stuff that is one of the rare things that takes precedence over golf.

Played 18 this morning. Not very well, but managed to walk off with an 86, which is better than it should have been considering only 3 GIR and 2 penalty strokes.

Day 28. Filmed my swing in the driveway. Worked on keeping the backswing long and some of my priority pieces.

Day 20, June 11th, 2023

Went up to Erie to get a long hitting session in. Got a few comments from Erik as he worked on his swing.

Worked on keeping it shorter and hands down. Going to make a trip to Lowe’s this week 😁. 

[DeadMan]

Day 7 - Played golf. Shot an 81, despite f***ing up the first 2 holes. So I'm pretty happy, even though the first few holes were rough for me.

Day 223, June 11, 2023

Went downtown for about six hours today. Got a good amount of work in.
