Day 72 (01 Sep 23) - Played solo round today, course wasn’t too busy so I was able to work on pitches from varied distances onto the green.  No skulls across the greens, had a good number of stop and drops within 15’ of the flag from ranges of 25yds out to 50yds.  Overall the scoring was very ‘meh’, but of the 6 pars today, five were up and down 1 putts I can attribute to the wedge accuracy.

Day 305, September 1, 2023

Worked on the full swing before some lessons this morning. Feel ain't real… except to the player himself.

Day 9:

Practiced chipping and pitching for 20 minutes as a warmup for stack, but then decided to do stack workout tomorrow instead.

Day 74: Sep 1

Played ~14 holes before twilight stopped play. Short game/putting remains in a really good place. Longer game is decent, but as before I need to improve my accuracy on approach shots. But I’m setting a high bar for myself (something I’m mindful of). Some of that accuracy work is becoming more experienced with non-level stances, so that I adjust my aim sufficiently to compensate but then swing freely & with confidence.

Day 75: Sep 2

Golf lesson following by range time. Club path…..basically neutral! Which is awesome.  Now I have to control it so that my fade plays when I want it to (at least I think that’s the plan).  Range session continued the progress - I do have to watch/focus a little on clubface control, but otherwise even driver is playable. A really good day!

Day 23, September 2nd, 2023

Went to the range. Worked on hands out and down behind me from top of swing, getting better at feeling this. Also worked on short game pitching.

Day 9: 

Warmed up by hitting 20 balls with 7-iron. Then did 1st Stack Foundation workout. Then hit 20 more balls with 7-iron.

A little bit of a bummer to see how much speed I've lost since prior speed training. My current eSpeed is what my floor used to be, but I guess also to be expected after no speed training for over 2 years. My fitness levels have dipped over the same period as well. I'm coaching my kid's soccer team this fall so I am doing more running, and also by starting Fit for Golf program I hope to build a solid fitness base to build speed.

Day 122 - Mirror/dry work focusing on new priority piece with irons.

Day 24, September 3rd, 2023

Worked on downswing feel of hands away and down to right pocket.

Day 76: Sep 3

Spent time hitting balls into a net, trying to focus on better/improved shaft lean at impact. Seemed to go ok. Combined that with short game practice, especially since the burst of summer weather has quickened up the greens.

Day 10:

Played 18 this morning. Ball striking was not great, lots of shots were a touch fat. Short game was sharp though, and I'm not unhappy with score.

[WillieT]

Day 73 (03 Sep 23) - Pitch shots with 9i, focused on coming smoothly thru ball.  Made easy swings flighting the ball to about 25yds.

Day 123 - Practice session at the range with full swing, chipping, and putting. 

Fixed the snap hooks with driver, feeling like "slow tempo" with the slightest of pauses at the top instantly eliminated snap hooks. I'm sure if I had filmed it would have looked full speed.

Wedges and irons were good with the left side crunch priority piece.

Did The Stack session in the evening too.

[DeadMan]

Day 57: range session. Took my Mevo out and worked on wedge distances. Then hit some drivers and a few 7 irons, just doing random practice.

Day 77: Sep 4

More short game & putting practice up at the golf course.
