Day 1: 6/11/23

After a trip to Chicago and missing a day I completed Stack Neural training tonight. Finished with 112 e-speed under max intent. Slightly slower than my high speed.

Putted through 5 cm gates and only hit the post 3 times in over 50 putts gap from a foot, which is good for me on carpet.

Day 2: 6/12/23

Wright balance exercises followed by slow motion backswing drills to improve width.

Finished putting through 5 cm gates and was not as successful as last night. Hit at least a dozen gates with around 54 putts. May have lost count during a poor stretch.

Day 1: was at a point I was standing over the ball on the course with way too many swing thoughts. Put it away for a bit and back at it today. Worked on good set up. Mainly hips over ankles. Narrower stance. Moved the ball a touch back in stance. Hinge my wrists earlier and allow my body to react to that. Most of it is just set up. The wrist set/cock/hinge was because I felt as if I set late and could be all over the place in transition. Promising.

Day 8 - worked on start line with my putter using the ruler drill.

Day 11

Largely a repeat of yesterday on grip/backswing. Tried some very limited impact exercises, 3 balls about 1.5inch gap trying to make clean contact with center ball. Noticed even at slow and 50% backswing i'm catching toe side ball and heeling centre ball. Adjustments being made and better towards end of exercise but will need more repititon.

Day 3: Jun 13

Played 18 holes and plenty of positives to take out from it but some mental errors cost me. It’s completely clear to me now that my next performance leap is going to come from playing as much as possible - making the right decisions, making sure I’m aligned correctly and so on. The more golf scenarios I’m exposed to, the greater the chance that I recognise similar scenarios in the future and know what to do…and what not to do.

Granted there are course-specifics that come into this. But I have a fundamentally functional golf swing. What I need to learn now is how to play golf.

Day 50 - Quite a bit of rain on and off today so just did some putting indoors focusing on that feeling of putter going inside on the way back. Start line has improved quite a bit recently.

Day 51 - Range work mainly focusing on driver and partial 50 degree still, although I did spend some time with 4 and 5 iron today and hit them better than expected. Having a feeling of making a half swing with irons is helping with strike right now.

Driver is starting to get quite good on the range with these new feels, need to keep working on it and see how it fares on the course.

    • Day 27 (7 Dec 25) - Got in a few swings with 9i and hard foam balls in backyard.  Setup weight fwd (rebuilt left foot really lets me feel the weight in a slightly painful way) - kept the backswing to around 9 o’clock focusing on contact and resulting divot pattern.  Like how the hard foam balls come off the face (almost like real balls in sound).  A good abbreviated session as I only able to hit about a dozen balls in the fading light. 
    • Day 117 12-7 A bit of chipping practice today. Full swing- hit some real balls to see where Im at. 
    • Not the part I was replying to: Handicaps did not go down much (like 0.14 on average IIRC?) when we went from 10/20*0.96 to 8/20. And a good chunk of that was from the +s.
    • I think he meant in the UK. The old system was completely different from the new one. 10/20 x 0.96 vs 8/20 would really only impact very low handicaps I think. The 0.96 serves to increase differentials for plus differentials, where 8/20 vs 10/20 works to lower differentials for all. I don't know many plus golfers who would be upset that their index got lower. A lot of really good players don't even really keep their handicaps up-to-date. They're much more interested in their WAGR rankings which get them entries to certain events.
    • Day 433 - 2025-12-07 Got some work in after Junior Elite before a night of sports (and the return of my wife!). Backswing work. Similar to what a lot of my juniors are doing.
