Day 1 again. the weather and chores have not been cooperating. Did Super Speed as part of my Fit For Golf workout. Hit 109 with the blue stick, which is the second highest I’ve ever done.

Day 25 (15 Jul 23) - Worked on maintaining speed thru impact zone.  Started with making swings that started “behind the ball” - kinda like a dragster taking off from the starting line from a standstill, then to swings starting from horizontal, finally to full swings.

Day 5.  I went to a (real!) chipping green and hit 18 (6 balls x 3 times) chips using the technique I tried yesterday, although I hadn't exactly ingrained anything.

I also tried putting for speed awareness, but after a few minutes, I realized my mind wasn't on it, and I didn't want to just go through the motions if it wasn't going to be thoughtful practice, so I stopped.

An hour practicing in the net, trying to shallow my swing. Followed by a couple of hours of short-game practice before finishing with 20 mins or so of short putts on a Matt. Busy day.

Work in the back yard. Still just two things to work on, but doing them BOTH is tough.

Day 6.  The main thing today was my first full "Fit for Golf" workout in a while (I was very negligent the past seven months, which is unfortunate for many reasons;  it's a great program).

Day 34: Jul 17

Played 14 holes at home course - played two tee shots (some of the time) then played a single ball in. Lots of tap-in putts for bogey, the weaker/poorer tee shots were typically playable. Really good confidence booster.

    • Finally completed the challenge! took me a long time to get hole number 4, which is a short par 4 that gently curves about 60 yards left starting at about 200 yards out and then the fairway necks down to the green. I have sometimes taken a 3W off the tee because I can push my drive and it then would enter a wooded area about 230 yards out. I pulled driver and blasted a push into the woods and it rattled around and ended up in the fairway about 60 yards from a back center pin. Spun a 58* wedge to about 2 feet:  There was a little break to it and the greens were recently aerated making a short putt a little more difficult.
    • Yes I’m still gaming the Edel.  I’ll have to see where I’m striking it on the face. I’m assuming if it’s low on the face my ball position is creeping too far forward?
    • You might even get more money for the trade in if the trade in is the old head and new shaft rather than old head and old shaft. I certainly can't imagine they'd offer less for it.
    • Wordle 1,188 5/6 ⬜🟩⬜⬜🟨 ⬜🟩🟩⬜⬜ ⬜🟩🟩⬜⬜ ⬜🟩🟩🟩⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
    • I'd compare the trade in value vs what similar ones have sold for recently, there's a pretty high chance you can sell it yourself for more than the trade in value plus you'd get to keep the shaft you like.
