Day 10

went to the range. Worked on my two swing pieces. Things working out well. I’m able to do them slowly at will now. I also worked on my driver. I was slicing it a bit. I was figuring that out. 

I also worked on distance wedges. Focusing on backswing length and what distance they went.

Day 44: 

45 minutes of putting practice at lunch today. Did the 4-8-12 drill. Near perfect from 4 feet, was way about 50% from 8 feet, but struggled from 12 feet early on. Did complete the last two stations by nailing the 12 footers on the first try. Did some speed control putting drills after that but man that was bad.

Day 15.  Spent an hour at the putting green, both on grip work (see today's conversation in my "my swing" thread) and hitting putts of various lengths.  I also got video which I'll post tomorrow.

Day 167

Spent some time on the putting green with my Grand Daughter this morning. We were practicing 3 footers, for a while. At one point she made 6 in a row. 

After putting, we did some chipping practice. I showed her the Runyon chip/putt stroke. After a dozen, or so, she started hitting some decent shots. 

We finished up with a friendly  little contest from 5' off the green, to a practice pin some 20' away. 

She bought the ice creame on the way home......lol

DAY 207    Spent 2 hours on the putting green!!  Began by hitting 40 balls off the Pelz Putting Tutor to get feedback on starting the putt on line.  Did a drill requiring you to get 10/10 balls in a three foot circle around the hole from 30, 40, 50 and 60 feet.  Then set up a tee at the 3, 6, 9 and 12 o'clock positions around the hole at 9 feet.  Hit 10 balls from each to track the percentage made.  I made 50%, the goal is 60%.   So still work to do.  Finished with the Dottie Pepper Drill where you have to make 3 in a row from 3, 5, and 7 feet.  If you miss, you have to restart from 3 feet.

Day 16.  Hit the practice facility this morning with mom.  Pitches from 30 yards and 20 yards, chips from near the green, putts from the fringe, and some short putts.  We shared a bucket;  I spent my share working on the same drills from the latest evolvr lesson.  

I also stopped at the PGA Superstore later and hit a few fairway woods there, my own 4-wood and one on a simulator.  I think the numbers were off because it told me I was hitting their 4-wood (Tour Edge Exotics CB-2) 235 yards, which is well past where I hit my 4-wood.  If it were true, I'd have bought it.  But I brought in my own 4-wood and got similar numbers, so I think it was just the simulator.  Didn't know where else to say this and it was part of my practice trip and involved hitting a golf ball.

5 mins on new indoor putting matt working on posture. The new posture brings a better strike so getting used to slightly gentler (and non accelerating ☺️) blows.

Day 168. Getting a little tired of the double posts. Not sure why it's happening, other than something wrong with my phone. Wish I knew how to get rid of the dupicate post. It only seems to happen in this thead. 

Just some simple putting, and chipping practice today. 

Now I see the duplicate, and today's has been merged....lol

Done deal.

DAY 208    Happy Father's Day to all who read my post and have family.  Hope you have a fantastic day.   

Another day of Rise and Grind.  Spent 2 1/2 hours in the short game area working on technique and then targets with my wedges.  Working on shots of 15-30 yards, in belief that as I get better and better with the shorter swing, not only will it help my short game scoring it will also seep over into my longer clubs.   Then spent 30 minutes on the putting green hitting balls of my Pelz Putting Tutor to train myself to improve my skills in starting the putt on line.

And it is only Noon!!!

Day 17.  http://www.gamegolf.com/player/Shindig/round/2230836 

It's ... some things I worked on went well and plenty of things didn't.  One GIR but some good short game shots.  And... quite a good number of bad ones.  Plenty of work to do!

Day 1, June 17 - had to take a few days off to rest my groin pull. Hit balls into a net for about 30 minutes.  Focused on smooth backswing and transition and finishing my swing.

    • Yes. I believe in using the same ball all of the time, including chipping and putting practice. I use the orange Callaway Supersoft.  Only $25 per dozen, and sometimes on sale for $20.
    • A 5400 yd course is not that short for gents driving it 160 yards considering the approach shot lengths they are going to be faced with on Par 4s.  Also, for the course you are referring to I estimate the Par 4s have to average longer than 260 yds, because the Par 5s are 800 yds or so, and if there are four Par 3s averaging 130 the total is 1320 yds.  This leaves 4080 yds remaining for 12 Par 4s.  That is an average of 340 per hole. Anyway, if there are super seniors driving it only 160ish and breaking 80 consistently, they must be elite/exceptional in other aspects of their games.  I play a lot of golf with 65-75 yr old seniors on a 5400 yd course.  They all drive it 180-200 or so, but many are slicers and poor iron players.  None can break 80. I am 66 and drive it 200 yds.  My average score is 76.  On that course my average approach shot on Par 4s is 125 yds.  The ten Par 4s average 313 yds.  By that comparison the 160 yd driver of the ball would have 165 left when attempting GIR on those holes.     
    • I don't think you can snag lpga.golf without the actual LPGA having a reasonable claim to it. You can find a ton of articles of things like this, but basically: 5 Domain Name Battles of the Early Web At the dawn of the world wide web, early adopters were scooping up domain names like crazy. Which led to quite a few battles over everything from MTV.com You could buy it, though, and hope the LPGA will give you a thousand bucks for it, or tickets to an event, or something like that. It'd certainly be cheaper than suing you to get it back, even though they'd likely win. As for whether women and golfers can learn that ".golf" is a valid domain, I think that's up to you knowing your audience. My daughter has natalie.golf and I have erik.golf.
    • That's a great spring/summer of trips! I'll be in Pinehurst in March, playing Pinehurst No. 2, No. 10, Tobacco Road, and The Cradle.
