Day 9:

Played 18 this morning. Sloppy conditions after overnight rain. I wasn't taking the round too seriously on account of mud, but played okay.  Backswing piece seemed to click nicely for most of the round, setup part not so much.

Day 4 (04 Dec 23) - Played a new course (one of those Golf Moose deals) just over 2 hours from home.  It was an older course so the greens were smallish, the fairways were less than optimal but the bunkers fabulous.  The course played well, the greens were slower as they were cut to winter length.  Great day on maximizing course management as each hole was a new adventure.

Day 9: 12/04/2023:

Went to the outdoor range today and really enjoyed it. The weather was beautiful.

Worked on my priority piece for while with the 6 iron, the 9 iron, the driver and finally with the 3 wood.

After that, I "played" my tournament course on the range. Basically setting targets, putting imaginary boundaries, even making places on the range represent hazards. 

My bag is an ever-changing combination of clubs. 

A mix I am forever tinkering with.

Day 400, December 5, 2023

Practice before lessons for the day. I didn't actually work on the downswing, but I let myself feel a little bit there if the backswing was good.

Wow, work was a major pain today. 

I've been at my desk way too long today trying to solve The World's problems.

I was happy to get my super speed training in today. But that's about it.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      So, my league starts next week, and I have a golf trip in two weeks. I am thinking no matter what I do, I will have to do my left leg and downswing turning piece. At least this turning piece helps me negate shanking the shot.  I probably shanked the foam ball about 10x in a row yesterday. Given, I was doing downswing work with not much caring about the body rotation. I was struggling to feel the same thing from two days ago. Where I was able to feel the arm piece and the turning piece working together. Yesterday, my body turn was just destroying my arms down piece.  That said, it’s not like I have a great feel for where the club is in space. Especially with how fast the downswing is. If I do the arms downswing piece with the turn piece better. I just feel those two things. Then after I am going into the finish I am like, "Oh, that was center of the clubface". I am glad the clubface found the ball. Maybe that is normal when you are trying to fix your mechanics. You are so hyper focused on the hitting the swing feel that the feel for the club is just gone.  I’ve watched YouTube videos where they talk about how correct lower-body mechanics give you the feeling of having tons of time in the downswing. I’m like, BS! there is no time. If anything, it feels faster now. 🤣 I do notice that the clubface stays more open past impact, less flippy. Not like I am trying to do that. Actually, with the downswing arm piece, I am trying to feel like I am rolling my wrist (closing the club a bit more).

      Well, if any one cares, this has been very successful in Cricket. It is full 3D and has drastically reduced wrong calls. There are still instances that the umpire's original decision is upheld if marginal. People rolled their eyes at first but now almost everyone with it.

      2026 Masters

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Jason Day had 1 wild Masters outfit rejected, still raising eyebrows Despite having one planned Masters outfit rejected for the 2026 event, Jason Day's apparel is still raising eyebrows at Augusta National. The pants + jacket is a bit much. I don't mind the vest. It is fine.  August is really stuffy in that way; their entire enterprise is based on image control. I am not shocked.  Don't you dare wear your hat backwards 🤣
