Day 84: Sep 12

Played round of golf. Varying degrees of success off the tee - my return on the hole directly correlated with the quality of the tee shot. Short game/ putting remains in a generally good place and was more accurate on my approach shots.

Day 93 (13 Sep 23) - Worked on full swing tempo, using 3w and hard foam balls.  Focused on getting the club face square at impact - started at 1/2 swings, worked up to full swings.  Better flight of the ball (as true as hard foam balls can fly).

Day 1: 9/13

Stack training tonight, session 21/24 of the Full Speed Spectrum.  112 eSpeed and 315 distance potential.  This session has been a little slower than previous sessions where I had a distance potential of 324. That said, with the other training weights I have either reached my fastest speed for one swing, or the fastest for the series. Still room for progress.

Day 317, September 13, 2023

A lesson was a no-show, so I recorded a video for Mike Carroll and then worked on my own swing for a good 35 minutes.

Day 132 - Range session and then indoor putting tonight.

Driver still needed work but I think I'm making a little progress.

My best driver strikes are when I'm fully committed to making a big turn and feeling rotation and aggressiveness, bad things (low pull hooks and big push slices) happen when I'm lazy and don't turn and just try to smooth something out there. Not really a priority piece, just swing feels to get me through the tournament this weekend. Will start working on making serious driver swing changes after this weekend.

Irons and wedges are really solid right now.

Day 94 (14 Sep 23) - Solo round at Minnesott.  Course was slow, so I was able to rehearse stepping into the shot to reinforce forward weight shift. Got dicey at times in my body is very hesitant about planting weight on my rebuilt lead foot.  Still managed 6 GIR and a respectable for me 84.

Day 1:

Life has been a whirlwind for the past few years (including a cross-country move in the past 8 months), and I'm finally finding myself with enough free time to enjoy getting back into playing some golf.

Worked at the range on developing some new feels for my continuing work with Key #2 (weight forward).

    • I agree. I would have thought it would save them shipping costs. I will say, I don't really mind. I'm guessing the labor cost to remove the head and repack it is greater than the difference in shipping costs. I'm guessing Callaway has a deal with UPS because the shipping label they sent me only showed a cost of like 8 bucks and change. Feels like it would have costed me more to ship it.  When the guy I spoke to told me they were sending me a complete driver and I could choose to keep my old shaft or keep the new one, I was actually kind of excited. It was like a little driver shaft lottery. ... I didn't win though. The shaft I got was almost the same as the one I had just the R version instead of the S version. Mine's a 60 gram Hzrdus Black.  The other thing I kind of liked about it is that they shipped it the same day I talked to the guy. So it was fast.  Lastly, I'm pretty sure the guy I talked to was in California, and the driver definitely shipped to me out of Texas. That's also where I sent it back to.  So, overall, really I have no complaints.
