Day 34 (24 Jul 23) - Worked on the stance (flaring lead foot more) today while hitting hard foam balls with the 6i in the backyard today.   Added this to the other pre-shot drill work I have been working on.

Day 39: Jul 24

Another matchplay round. Played -2 nett; with the exception of two blowup holes (a familiar mantra) I’ve played yet more good golf. Made good decisions and executed well.

Day 40: Jul 25

Played 18 at home course. Strung together a strong run of golf - 3 under bogey golf (or -7 nett) over 13 holes, which is outstanding for me - then deliberately stopped to focus on a tee shot that I’ve been struggling with from the longer tournament tee and tried a few different options. Not an easy tee shot to carry the trouble, but the bailout area in front is small and hard to find. I’ve got a better idea how to tackle the shot, but it’s a real risk/reward tee shot and probably means playing a precautionary provisional ball to avoid the trek back up the hill!

Finished off at home with some clubpath drills.

Played 18 holes before spending eight hours downtown. Birdied #14 to knock that off the list, so that felt good.

Day 89 - Range session tonight working on my priority pieces. Bunch of time filming at the beginning working on setup and hand path with partial swings. Caught myself a couple times looking at other pieces of my swing on video and wanting to change everything at once but I snapped back into focusing on just my priority pieces and not getting ahead of myself.

Proud that I was able to refocus on my priority pieces, this sounds weird to say but I'm getting better at practicing. 

 

Then hit a couple full swings at the end to various targets still focusing on the setup and hand path.

Contact was very solid and divots were much more neutral and consistent rather than severely out to in.

Day 8: range session. Worked on random shots through the bag. Generally happy with how that turned out. Need to keep my backswing feel more in mind, but solid contact and direction. Then putted for about 30 minutes, focusing on shorter putts with a sprinkling of lag putting.

Day 41: Jul 26

Continued with indoor backswing/transition drills, trying to create a consistently neutral clubpath.

Day 19, July 27th, 2023. 

Weather went to crap this afternoon. I did some window work inside while watching TV. 

[WillieT]

Day 36 (26 Jul 23) - Worked on pitches with the 60deg today, focused making 1/2 swings and keeping speed up through contact.  Form fell off with several "hosel rockets".  Rather than get undone, I stopped, worked through the process and then worked to execute correction.    

[DeadMan]

Day 9: mirror work today. Checking my backswing stuff - trying to ingrains a steeper backswing.
