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 49 - Did more driver work and more wedge practice especially with my 1/4 and 1/2 50 degree and my 1/4 lob wedge.

Driver is getting better with the new feelings. Starting to build up a little confidence.

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 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 563, May 18, 2024 Was going to play today, but we waited on the first tee for 15 minutes, watched three of the four players lose their golf balls, and went to the range (with @DrizZzY). I was hitting some hybrids 250 on the range, comfortably, repeatably.
    • Give it time. if Hatton misses another shot he might launch his club & hit someone .
    • That’s a pre Sunday leaderboard I can like.
    • The best was Tommy Gainey in the prostitution sting a few years ago. Now that was funny.
    • Played Musgrove Mill GC today. 72.3/155. First round in 4 weeks and shot 44-39. 2 triple bogies on the front and horseshoed 4 putts today. Overall, 10 fairways, 8 GIR and 31 putts.  Set a goal today to par the 3 toughest holes (4, 18 and 9) and birdie 10 or 12 (which I have never birdied). Parred 4, 9 and birdied 10. Crushed my drive on 18 and had 139 left, but in casual water. Dropped back a little ways and took an extra club. Hit my 8-iron well but it came up short. Bunker shot from wet sand left me an 18’ for my goal. Read the break well but perhaps an inch too much break, and a touch heavy on the speed. Ball circled the hole 270* and tapped in for a bogey. Handicap dropped 0.1.
